All releases of PowerNowd


Release Notes: Final release, as it's feature complete, been tested for a long time, and the 'ondemand' kernel governor seems to be the way moving forward. Minor valgrind pedantic cleanups, and the use of strtoll() instead of strtol() to handle long running guests.


Release Notes: This update includes a long overdue overhaul of the SMP logic with much better support for systems with multiple cores but only one frequency controller per socket. A bug in the multi-socket+hyperthreading logic was fixed. The detection code was updated to use 'affected_cpus' file when present. Minor documentation updates were made.


Release Notes: HT detection was fixed to not break on Pentium-M (Centrino). A bug on systems such as the PPC that don't have scaling_available_frequencies was fixed.


Release Notes: This release moves to table-based frequency switching. There is also scaling_available_frequencies support, and better hyperthreading/multi-threaded/multi-core CPU support.


Release Notes: This release supports drivers that report speed in Mhz instead of Khz. A buggy Athlon workaround has been removed, as it's not needed. The pause/unpause code has been removed. A sample powernowd init script has been added to show how to emulate the old pause/unpause behavior in a cleaner way. LEAPS mode and verbosity patches have been added. Verbosity handling has been cleaned up.
