793 * Disambiguated (is that a word?) $cpu docs
796 * Fallback to gettimeofday() when clock_gettime () not available (mac os).
799 * API change (timing in milliseconds) for dexter_timedsampler_new ().
802 * Add config.rpath (created by gettextize -copy) to distribution
804 * Clean up some warnings; remove ftp.[ch] from src/Makefile.am.

809 * Added head/tail rewrite patch (thanks Ryan Twitchell)
810 * Added diskio read/write sf.net patch 1542880 (thanks Blondak)
813 * Clear conky vars on disconnect/failure to open files.

820 - requires libdexter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdexter)
821 and the dxt-sysinfo plugin (svn only at the moment).
823 - dexter_client yes/no
824 - dexter_server yes/no
825 - dexter_config /path/to/libdexter/config (default: $HOME/.dexterrc)
826 - own_window_class <WM Class Name> (default: Conky)
827 - replaces wm_class_name
828 - own_window_title <Window Title> (default: <hostname> - conky)
829 * removed config items:
830 - wm_class_name (use own_window_class, same function)
832 --disable-network (default=yes) with auto-detection for libdexter.
833 - remove useless --enable-proc-uptime (PROC_UPTIME never referenced).
834 HAVE_SYSINFO and others determine if /proc/uptime is used.
835 - silently disable xft, double-buffer and xdamage if no x11.
836 - change enable/disable labels to reflect defaults accurately.
837 - simplified compile-based checks for sysinfo/getloadavg and by moving
838 them into AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
839 * allow decorated, own_window=yes windows to be given input focus by WM:
840 - do not pass button clicks through to desktop in this scenario as conky
841 immediately loses focus.
844 * Clarify LGPL license on timed_thread modules.
848 * Split battery variable into two:
849 battery, e.g. "charging 75%" and
850 battery_time, e.g. "3h 15m".

865 min_port_monitor_connections
867 max_port_monitor_connections
870 * Added $entropy_avail, $entropy_poolsize and $entropy_bar
871 for the crypto freaks. Idea suggested by Perttu Luukko
872 <nuteater@users.sourceforge.net> in feature request 1497050.
873 * Added max length specifier to audacious_title. Closes
874 feature request #1600631.
877 * Rearrange retry attempts in pop3 and imap code, removing sleep()
878 calls which cause the whole process to sleep, not just the thread.
881 * Added max_specials config item with default 512. This should
