%CHANGELOG
* Mon Mar 06 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>
[powertweak-0.1.9-1]
- Major restructuring of the codebase.
Some extra makefiles added, and lots of code moved around
to new directories. All code now lives in a src directory.
- Textmode ncurses GUI.
Incomplete, and totally usable but there's a primitive codebase.
Segfaults everywhere. If you can help debug this, I'd be happy.
So, feel free to join in the hacking on this, as we race to
complete it before Linus releases kernel 2.4.0 !

[powertweak-0.1.8-1]
- More GUI changes.
The old menus got moved into a 'hardware' menu.
Added several new menus to the tree.
- Extended the /proc/sys tuning code lots.
- Can now save /proc/sys tweaks.
- Many new /proc/sys tweaks added.
- Improved Matrox support.
- Extended info changed to support all other Matrox cards.
- Now uses mmap instead of reading a chunk of /dev/mem into
an internal buffer.
[powertweak-0.1.7-1]
- Huge changes in the GUI code.
- Increased functionality.
You should now be able to generate a config file
using the GUI. In this release generation of
config entries for /proc tweaking are not enabled
this will be fixed in v0.1.8
- Lots of ugly code removed/fixed.
- Information on each tweak added.
- Ability to display extended info for PCI devices.
Currently only Matrox G200 supported.
- Fix for the BX problems introduced in v0.1.6
- One more LX tweak added.
- Two more /proc tweaks added.
- Config file parser slightly improved.
Now allows tags to act as booleans, and not need =value
- Documentation updates.
- Source code formatting, cleaning, commenting etc..

[powertweak-0.1.6-1]
- Extra chipset support:
- Intel TX tweaks extended
- Intel LX support added
- Intel BX support added
- Tuning of entries in /proc/sys
[powertweak-0.1.5-1]
- Now includes pci.ids
The new PCILIB is incompatable with old versions of pci database.
This means that until PCILIB becomes a dynamic library, I'll have
to start including it with Powertweak.
This is the main reason that this release came out so soon, to
stop people constantly mailing me to tell me about it!
- Some more VP3/MVP3 issues resolved courtesy of Richard Pruen.
- The GUI should now compile, and run on Alphas, Sparc's etc..
