Notes:
These are the release notes for LCDproc v0.5.4, the new stable version of LCDproc.
This release includes a lot of bug fixes as well as several new and updated
drivers. See below for a brief list or the file ChangeLog for a more
comprehensive one.
The CFontz633 driver has been deprecated and will output a warning about
this on start-up. It will be removed after this release. Please use the
CFontzPacket driver instead (setting Model=633 in LCDd.conf).
Fingerprint:
------------
SHA1 (lcdproc-0.5.4.tar.gz) = dd20ecbc991f11f9b3fa5526bec2ac8b7081be5f
Known bugs:
-----------
- If vBars are used together with ICON_BLOCK_FILLED on the same screen and
that icon is implemented as a custom char, it sometimes is replaced with
a non full block from the vBar.
- On Solaris the mtc_s16209x driver fails to compile. Configure LCDproc to
exclude this driver.
- The server config file LCDd.conf is not installed if 'make install-server'
is used to install only the server without the clients.
- The svga drivers fails to install. If you have svgalib installed but don't
use this driver, configure LCDproc to exclude this driver.
