Version 0.7.1

Summary

A minor bug fix release that changes the behavior of how errors are handled while acquiring a lock. Note: This release only contains changes to the CLI.

Fixed

  • Handle errors while acquiring a lock instead of panicking (#9)

Version 0.7.0

Summary

This release contains some breaking changes for the library users, like the type change from u16 to u32 as part of a bug fix. Other than that, a current_percent method has been added to Device for convenience, and there's a minor CLI related change. The rest of the changes are all memory usage improvements and code refactoring for improved maintainability.

Added

  • Device::current_percent method that returns brightness percentage (in contrast with current which returns the raw current value)

Changed

  • All functions and methods that took and returned u16 now use u32 (breaking change)
  • device_path method now returns a PathBuf instead of &Path due to internal code changes (breaking change)
  • blight status now prints brightness percentage along with the raw value

Improved

  • Significant reduction of heap allocations
  • Reduced code duplication and code refactored for maintainability

Fixed

  • blight failing to work with devices that may use values larger than u16::MAX - #6 (Thanks pdamianik)

Version 0.6.0

Summary

Fixed a major bug related to single instance check, which also changes the CLI behavior slightly. Improved error reporting in case of panics. Most changes in this release only affect the CLI side of things.

Changed

  • CLI no longer returns an error if another instance is running. Instead, it waits for it to finish (#5)
  • blight no longer compiles on OSs other than Linux, as they are unsupported

Improved

  • Custom panic handler now properly prints panic related info to the user to help with better bug reports

Fixed

  • CLI falsely reporting that another instance is running (#4)

Version 0.5.0

Added

  • Device::device_path method, returns &Path to the location of the device in sys/class/backlight/
  • Delay type to customize the write frequency or delay between each write in Device::sweep_write
  • Custom panic hook (CLI) to print more helpful messages when a panic occurs

Improved

  • Device::reload only reloads current value
  • Device::sweep_write updates brightness changes more efficiently (#2)

Changed

  • Helper function sweep is now Device::sweep_write (#2)

Fixed

  • Integer overflow while using sweep change (#1)
  • Device::write_value & set_bl silently ignoring or writing values larger than max supported (f30b3c5)
  • Stdout and Stderr message formatting inconsistencies
