          network code from trunk/conky1.

2007-02-14
        * Include missing mboxscan.h in conky.h.
        * Fixed signedness warnings in conky.c.

2007-02-11

        things like $exec, $tail, et cetera
        * Added $mboxscan which lets you display the Subject and From fields
        from recent email in an mbox file
        * Disambiguated (is that a word?) $cpu docs

2007-01-14
        * Fallback to gettimeofday() when clock_gettime () not available (mac os).

2007-01-09
        * API change (timing in milliseconds) for dexter_timedsampler_new ().

2007-01-07
        * Add config.rpath (created by gettextize -copy) to distribution
          to satisfy AM_ICONV.
        * Clean up some warnings; remove ftp.[ch] from src/Makefile.am.

2006-12-29
        * Update svn ebuild to new sourceforge url scheme.
                - requires deletion of existing wc: rm -rf /usr/portage/distfile/svn-src/conky/
        * Added head/tail rewrite patch (thanks Ryan Twitchell)
        * Added diskio read/write sf.net patch 1542880 (thanks Blondak)

2006-12-26
        * Clear conky vars on disconnect/failure to open files.

2006-12-23
        * Updated to libmpdclient 0.12.0

2006-12-22
        * client/server infrastructure and prototype for linux only (so far):
                - requires libdexter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdexter)
                and the dxt-sysinfo plugin (svn only at the moment).
        * new config items:
                - dexter_client yes/no
                - dexter_server yes/no
                - dexter_config /path/to/libdexter/config (default: $HOME/.dexterrc)
                - own_window_class <WM Class Name> (default: Conky)
                        - replaces wm_class_name
                - own_window_title <Window Title> (default: <hostname> - conky)
        * removed config items:
                - wm_class_name (use own_window_class, same function)
        * configure changes:
          --disable-network (default=yes) with auto-detection for libdexter.
                - remove useless --enable-proc-uptime (PROC_UPTIME never referenced).  
                        HAVE_SYSINFO and others determine if /proc/uptime is used.
                - silently disable xft, double-buffer and xdamage if no x11.
                - change enable/disable labels to reflect defaults accurately.
                - simplified compile-based checks for sysinfo/getloadavg and by moving
                  them into AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
        * allow decorated, own_window=yes windows to be given input focus by WM:
                - do not pass button clicks through to desktop in this scenario as conky
                  immediately loses focus.  

2006-12-13

        * Update NEWS files.

        calls which cause the whole process to sleep, not just the thread.

2006-11-22
