Development snapshot for Ubuntu

Some improvements has been added last weeks to Psensor, most important ones are:

  • added support of Fahrenheit temperature unit.
  • redesigned Psensor preferences window.
  • added support of the atasmart library.
  • gtk2 is no more supported, Psensor is now requiring gtk3.

For more information please look at the NEWS file.

As I do not plan to release the 0.7.0.0 soon, a development snapshot has been pushed to the Psensor unstable repository for Ubuntu Natty, Oneiric and Precise.

You can give it a try by using:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/psensor-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install psensor

Psensor v0.6.2.17

Psensor v0.6.2.17 has been released, it fixes few bugs:

  • Fixed sensor type displayed in sensor preferences dialog.
  • Fixed compilation error on 64bits with ATI/AMD GPU support.
  • Not call g_thread_init when compiled with glib >= 2.31.

 

Psensor v0.6.2.15

Psensor v0.6.2.15 has been released and fixes few issues concerning the code portability on CentOS and Kfreebsd.

Psensor should now working fine on CentOS 6. Psensor-server compilation requires some packages which are not available in the official repositories but it has been reported that you can get them from the EPEL repositories. Thanks to Joe Henley for his help on fixing CentOS issues.

Psensor can be compiled on Kfreebsd 6 but unfortunely this distribution does not support lmsensor, hddtemp and xnvctrl, so it can only be used to remotely monitor another computer running psensor-server. Psensor-server is compiling fine but cannot be run due to gtop_get_swap not implemented. Not very useful, but compilation on kfreebsd was required to push psensor to the Debian packages repository of the Linux port.

The v0.6.2.15 binary packages for Debian are available in the unstable repository, you can also get them from: http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/psensor.html.

Psensor v0.6.2.13

The version 0.6.2.13 of Psensor has been released.

This development release adds:

  • GTK+ 3.x support
  • GTK+ Status Icon support: for distribution not supporting Ubuntu Application Indicator, the graph window can be hidden and the traybar icon used to show it. The icon turns to red when a temperature is too high.

Few bugs have been fixed, most notable ones are:

  • fixed support of microhttpd >= 0.9.2
  • fixed support of libnotify 0.5.2
  • fixed compilation with ATI/AMD GPUs support (for Fedora)

Thanks to Lubos Stanek who submitted few patches (mostly concerning Fedora) for this release.

Full list of changes can be retrieved from NEWS file.

There is now a Psensor Google+ page.

Psensor v0.6.2.12

Psensor v0.6.2.12 has been released, it adds an option to restore the position and size of the main window.

For Ubuntu, ppa:jfi/psensor-unstable is going to be updated with this version, then ppa:jfi/psensor if no packaging issues are found.

v0.6.2.12 is now the last stable version of Psensor. For the list of new features since previous stable version (v0.6.1.10), you can consult the NEWS file.

I plan to upload this version into the Debian testing repository in coming weeks and hope that it will be « autosynced » to Ubuntu Precise (next Ubuntu LTS release).

As usual, you can download the source archive from: http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files.

Psensor, restore window position and size

I have added to Psensor the capability to restore the position and the size of the main window.

Open the ‘preferences’ of Psensor and check ‘Restore window position and size’ to enable this new feature.

The position of the divider widget between the graph and the list of sensors is also managed but there is a bug when set at position 0 (closed to the left of the window).

You can give it try by compiling Psensor from SVN or use the Ubuntu PPA: ppa:jfi/psensor-daily-trunk.

It will be available in the next development release which should be 0.6.2.12.
