Such reliance is not portable. 0.6.0 changes from 0.5.10 ------------------------- 29Jul99 JDTH : Change highlighting to "bold" and use the curses library to get the appropriate terminal control strings. 0.5.10 changes from 0.5.9 ------------------------- 28Jul99 JDTH : (Build 2+) Allow rtcmosram module to load even if ioports are occupied. 28Jul99 JDTH : Complete modularization: modules are now automatically and independently loadable and unloadable. When tpctl is run, thinkpad.o is loaded by the module loader as per instructions in /etc/modules.conf. The thinkpad module, in turn, requests the loading of the other modules as they are needed to perform ioctl requests. Loading of a module is inhibited by setting "enable_" to zero, which can be done at load time or via ioctl(). See README. 27Jul99 JDTH : Simplify "SIZE_..._MAX" macros 28Jul99 JDTH : Change '--silent' to '--quiet' since the switch doesn't make tpctl completely silent. 0.5.9 changes from 0.5.8 ------------------------ 27Jul99 JDTH : Use more standard error messaging 27Jul99 JDTH : Hive off smapi, superio and rtcmosram as distinctly loadable modules. 27Jul99 JDTH : Fix bug in smapi:locate_smb_header() 27Jul99 JDTH : Fix bug in --pra output 27Jul99 JDTH : Abandon "variants" idea of 0.5.8 since it doesn't solve the problem that it was meant to solve 27Jul99 JDTH : Add /proc/* entries for each enabled submodule 27Jul99 JDTH : Add module parameters to thinkpad.o to govern enabling of the subordinate modules 27Jul99 JDTH : Make superio mod more careful about interrupt cli/restore 27Jul99 JDTH : Clean up module code a lot: make it much more kernelifically correct and fault tolerant 0.5.8 changes from 0.5.7 ------------------------- 25Jul99 JDTH : Package rpm with both modversions and non-modversions variants 25Jul99 JDTH : (release 5:) and install these in /lib/modules/thinkpad/thinkpad and symlink /lib/modules/thinkpad/thinkpad.o to the right one 25Jul99 JDTH : Fix bug in Usage output 25Jul99 JDTH : Require write access for writing to CMOS RAM 0.5.7 changes from 0.5.6 ------------------------- 24Jul99 JDTH : Added rtcmosram module 24Jul99 JDTH : Added --sst option 24Jul99 JDTH : Added --ic option 24Jul99 JDTH : Renamed --ic option as '--ip' 0.5.6 changes from 0.5.5 ------------------------- 22Jul99 JDTH : Added "--silent" option 22Jul99 JDTH : Changed highlighting code to make it disablable using the "--dull" option 0.5.5 changes from 0.5.4 ------------------------- 22Jul99 JDTH : Added info about confuring serial ports to README 22Jul99 JDTH : Tried to make superio more kosher with its ioport usage 22Jul99 JDTH : Made checking for Super I/O chip a little more careful. 0.5.4 changes from 0.5.3 ------------------------- 22Jul99 JDTH : Display appointment info all on one line 22Jul99 JDTH : Changed tpctlify to check for perl before invoking it Also, make it more verbose 22Jul99 JDTH : Changed so that print formatting is nicer when many arguments are given.
