-## Version 0.15

- those specified in the configuration file (Ben Boeckel).
- - Dependency on GHC's threaded runtime has been eliminated.
- - New MPRIS (versions 1 and 2) monitor, by Artem Tarasov.
- - New monitor option `-d` to specify the number of decimal places to
- display for float numbers. Defaults to 0. See [issue 58].
-
-_Bug fixes_
-
- - Stricter build dependencies versioning in cabal file.
- - [issue 56]: vertical alignment of text improved.
- - [issue 64]: display of `watts` in `Batt` monitor fixed.
- - [issue 69]: miscellaneous battery reporting issues.
- - [issue 67]: compilation in DragonFly.
- - DiskIO works also when device path in mtab are symbolic links
- to the real device file.
- - Wireless monitor honours padding settings for ESSID names.
- - CoreTemp monitor fixed for newer kernels ([github #38]).

-## Version 0.13 (March 28, 2011)
-
-_New features_
-
- - New `Volume` monitor displaying ALSA soundcards information, by
- Thomas Tuegel.
- - New `ThermalZone` plugin substituting `Thermal` and using linux's
- *sysfs* interface (you need this one if you're using a kernel
- version equal to or above 2.6.37). See [issue 44].
- - xmobar app new has WM_CLASS, WM_NAME and _NET_WM_PID xprops
- ([issue 38]).
-
-_Incompatible changes_
-
- - In the process of solving [issue 14], we've broken those
- configurations that rely on including alignment separators in the
- input fed to `StdinReader`.
- - The MPD plugin does not accept host and port options anymore: use
- the environment variables MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT instead.
- - The `Mail` plugin now takes a second parameter (a string)
- specifying its alias. As a side-effect, this solves [issue 30].
-
-_Bug fixes_
-
- - [issue 14]: `StdinReader` and other plugins accepting external
- input don't get confused anymore when characters from `alignSep`
- appear in their input.
- - [issue 27]: `BottomSize` placement now respects its width argument.
- - [issue 28]: Compilation in Mac OS X fixed.
- - [issue 30]: `Mail` plugin can be specified anywhere in commands list.
- - [issue 36]: Battery monitor now supports non-standard locations of
- the `/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online` file.
- - [issue 40]: Battery monitor now supports the new power_now, that
- replaces current_now in linux kernels for v. 2.36 and above.
- - [issue 42]: More accurate net monitor rates.
- - DiskIO, Cpu and MultiCpu monitors are also more accurate now.
- - Text is now correctly centered vertically.
- - `FullBM` border spec fixed.
