RC2
Advanced Power Monitor 0.5.0-rc2
Advanced Power 0.4.0-rc2

I can't get that link to work.

It does work...

For what it's worth, I like having it, even if it's not perfectly accurate. It gives me a nice rough idea of what the power level is.

On a different note: The icon doesn't update for me unless I change between the default and GTK theme. If it's plugged in when one theme is set, it always shows as plugged in. If the battery is full, it always shows as full. When I change to or from the GTK theme it seems to recheck and shows whatever is applicable then, but doesn't update. It's been like this since I reflashed the OS several months ago.

I haven't tried the RC2 yet. I'm using AP 0.3.6 and APM 0.4.1

Looks like I was wrong. It doesn't update unless the Battery option is shown in the drop-down. I had it hidden and was just showing the Idle Time and Active Time remaining. Adding the Battery % back makes the icon update properly.

(N810, OS .43-7, boots from int.mmc,
Adv. power installed from extras)

Just tried updating to these from garage.
All OK until after reboot :
"Connecting to APMD" (or similar) went on for minutes.

Tried RC1 versions, > no status bar icon.
Uninstalled, reinstalled extras versions, seems OK.

What did I miss or do wrong ?


EDIT: What is the differeence between rc1 and rc2 ?

It's quite strange... It's a pity you have no logs, I can't debug it as it never occurred to me...

Try purging current release and installing RC.

Almost all of the difference is in code. For end-user there is difference in speed/memory and a bit of UI.

I'm going to release RC3 this weekend (I guess, tomorrow) in which APM has nice things like code optimizations (and AP), polling and notifying only battery info (if AP is subscribed to it) while system inactivity, working timeleft info (updated), almost end-variant architecture of wrappers and a bit of packaging cleanups.

Tell me how to make logs, and I'll be happy to repeat and supply them.
Me: New to linux, almost.

if I didn't rely so heavily on this application, I would happily test the RC versions, thank you for all of your continued work on this project.

RC3
Advanced Power Monitor 0.5.0-rc3
Advanced Power 0.4.0-rc3
Advanced Power Russian locale 0.2

This RC is a pre-release. Before installing it purging previous versions is highly recommended.

For testing purposes APM can be restarted in xterm, so you can get some output...
Logging for AP is not implemented yet.
AP crashes for me, when I manipulate with bluetooth from standard bt statusbar item. Sometimes hildon-desktop crashes, but I haven't figured out the reasons, perhaps, some other software is the reason.
This RC has final wrappers structure, new wrappers can be added without adding import for them in any file. I should have written docs for sure... I guess doc will be available with release.
