v1.3

Another small release:

• Fixed a bug in gamma after long suspends
• Improved main poll cycle
• Improved quit values handling (now properly leaving with EXIT_FAILURE if any error happens)

v1.2

Quick release, mostly fixes!

• Fixed crash on start
• Added a systemd timer that will start systemd user service circa 5s later. This is needed to give time to any bus interface (in this case: org.freedesktop.PowerManagement) to be created created by DE and any backlight interface is switched on/off if needed by DE.
• Fixed auto-disabling of bus related module if their busname does not exist
• Fixed a bug in gamma init that prevented correct gamma temp for current daily state to be setted at startup
• Reworked settings file

v1.1

• BRIGHTNESS module will now properly account for suspended time
• Fixed a rare bug in gamma implementation that happened if laptop was suspended a day and resumed 1 or more days later
• Add timestamp to log
• Some fixed and improvements to dimmer module
• Log single capture mode too (.clight_capture.log)
• New default timeouts for dimmer and dpms
• Debug mode (--verbose) is now runtime enabled.
• Added support for dimmer smooth transitions (both entering dimmed state and leaving)
• Updated to latest clightd interface
• Added a inhibit module that will monitor org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit.HasInhibitChanged and will block dimming screen if a powermanagement inhibit is set (eg: by chrome while watching a video)
• Lots of improvements in code
• As always, bugfixes

v1.0

New Clight release!

• Dropped libconfig optdep as certain options are only available through config file
• Better error handling with no "if (!quit)" all around the code
• User can now set different ambient_brightness->screen_backlight curves depending on ac state. This has invalidate 2 old config options: "batt_max_backlight_pct" and "lowest_backlight_level"
• Do not leave for EHOSTUNREACH errors from upower/geoclue; leave only for clightd ones
• Avoiding changing brightness if backlight interface is not active (same goes for dimmer module): it would be useless and a waste of energy. Webcam captures are avoided too. This happens if you have an external monitor.
• Fixed longstanding issue in clight.service unit that caused an infinite loop with new error handling (it was present before too but it was not noticeable
• Debian control file will now set proper dependency version (libsystemd >= 221 and clightd >= 1.3)
• Destroying modules while leaving clight in the opposite order they were started to avoid any issue
• Some other fixes and improvements

v0.14

New Clight release:

• added a dimmer module
• added a dpms module
• less verbose logging
• various fixes

v0.13

New Clight release.

• Default timeouts during events will now be 5 mins on AC and 10mins on Batt
• Gracefully removing match from sd_bus when disabling location/upower modules
• Fixed a bug in upower initialization
• moved dpms to clightd
• improved dpms support: now checking at every capture because some DE (i'm using kde) will disable dpms on AC but enable it on BATT.

v0.12

New release:

• Users can now create their own ambient_brightness->screen_backlight curve, by changing "brightness_regression_points" array variable in clight.conf file. These points will be fitted through gsl and new coeffiecients will be applied to compute corrent screen backlight given ambient brightness.
• Locations received by geoclue2 are now gracefully cached; this way, starting clight with no internet connection will not hang.
• Fixed a memleak caused by libpopt
• Fixed a couple of issues spotted by @runical

v0.11

Lots of improvements, new features and bugfixes:

• added an autostart desktop file that will execute systemctl --user start clight automatically for you. Enabling the user service or manually adding it to your DE autostart is not needed anymore.
• added a desktop file (with icon! Better icons are really welcome!) to take a fast calibration (clight -c)
• added an upower module: you can now set different timeouts between captures while on AC and on BATT. Moreover, you can set a maximum brightness (in percentage) to be setted while on BAT.
• lots of code improvements and polishing, and some small bug fixes. Code is now even more modularized and readable.

v0.10

Lots of improvements in clight, most notably:

• Added a sweet inter-modules dependency management system, it was a huge rework that brought many changes, some fixes and many many improvements (easiness in adding more modules)
• Improved systemd user unit
• Add some more config options to let clight be even more customizable
• Gracefully disable gamma support on non-X environments
• Better ambient brightness to screen backlight level fitting function
• Code is now even more modularized
• Fixed some bugs
