[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCEMENT: xmobar 0.13

I'm happy to announce the release of xmobar 0.13. xmobar is a lightweight, text-based system monitor for un*x systems. See http://projects.haskell.org/xmobar/ for the whole story. ## Version 0.13 (March 28, 2011) _New features_ - New `Volume` monitor displaying ALSA soundcards information, by Thomas Tuegel. - New `ThermalZone` plugin substituting `Thermal` and using linux's *sysfs* interface (you need this one if you're using a kernel version equal to or above 2.6.37). See [issue 44]. - xmobar app new has WM_CLASS, WM_NAME and _NET_WM_PID xprops ([issue 38]). _Incompatible changes_ - In the process of solving [issue 14], we've broken those configurations that rely on including alignment separators in the input fed to `StdinReader`. - The MPD plugin does not accept host and port options anymore: use the environment variables MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT instead. - The `Mail` plugin now takes a second parameter (a string) specifying its alias. As a side-effect, this solves [issue 30]. _Bug fixes_ - [issue 14]: `StdinReader` and other plugins accepting external input don't get confused anymore when characters from `alignSep` appear in their input. - [issue 27]: `BottomSize` placement now respects its width argument. - [issue 28]: Compilation in Mac OS X fixed. - [issue 30]: `Mail` plugin can be specified anywhere in commands list. - [issue 36]: Battery monitor now supports non-standard locations of the `/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online` file. - [issue 40]: Battery monitor now supports the new power_now, that replaces current_now in linux kernels for v. 2.36 and above. - [issue 42]: More accurate net monitor rates. - DiskIO, Cpu and MultiCpu monitors are also more accurate now. - Text is now correctly centered vertically. - `FullBM` border spec fixed. Happy monitoring, jao -- Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we would all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music. - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo Inc.
