Download GKrellM 2.2.2

Bill Wilson has a new version of GKrellM on his website last Friday posted† The update is labeled 2.2.2 and downloadable as bzip2– and tarball-package. GKrellM shows different kinds of statistics from a Linux computer. The software is programmed in such a way that it can do its job according to one process. In addition to system time, temperatures, voltages, fan speeds and a disk monitor, it is also possible to put uptime, memory management and an internet monitor on the desktop. Below are all changes posted from version 2.2.0:

2.2.2

• Added some theme gkrellmrc variables, see Themes changelog.
• Bug fixes:
  • Client mode seconds display had a sampling beat effect which caused a second to be periodically skipped.
  • Craig Boston fix pixbuf memory leak in gkrellm_decal_scroll_text_set_internal().

2.2.0

• Replace Gdk Font text drawing with Pango.
• Add plugin capability to the gkrellmd server. Wrote demo5 plugin as a tutorial on a client/server capable plugin.
• Minimize Pango drawing to get CPU usage down:
• Draw chart text on a caching text layer.
• Add a “scroll text” api to text decals where a Pango string is drawn on a pixmap which can be srolled by setting the decal offset.

See the plugins and themes changelog for more info.

• linux.c reads temperatures from the hddtemp daemon so disk temperature display can be consistent with other sensors (and detected by gkrellmd).
• Hajimu Umemoto: glib12 server Makefile, use `glib-config –libs glib gmodule and initialize text extent in clock.c
• Sjoerd Simons: set the _NET_WM_STRUT property when dock type.
• Defer setting withdrawn state until after main window realize.
