CHANGELOG
=========
1.0 (2012-03-12)
Initial release
1.1 (2013-03-06)
Widget size is kept as the maximum seen to avoid jiggling other
plugins. Widget size can be reset by entering the configuration.
1.2 (2013-03-10)
Text is now aligned to the right in the x-coordinate and in the
center on the y-coordinate. The text is now customizable using html
markup.
1.3 (2013-04-08)
Added the gpl2 license COPYING file to the repository.
1.4 (2013-05-29)
The default delay of 1 second can now be changed (to a minimum of 10
ms). Also, easy Arch Linux installation instructions added by
graysky2.
1.5 (2014-05-24)
(1) Fixed compilation problems on Ubuntu 14.04 by properly depending
on glib.
(2) on Removed dependency on lxpanel-dev package (because it is not
available on Ubuntu 14.04), the required lxpanel/plugin.h is now
packaged along side.
(3) Improved installation script by trying all sorts of methods to
locate lxpanel/plugins (try 'pkg-control lxpanel', search for
deskno.so (a built-in plugin) in various common lib folders).
1.6 (2014-05-24)
'make DESTDIR=/tmp/stage install' is now supported to prepend
"/tmp/stage" to where it would otherwise install the plugin.
'make LXPANEL_PLUGINS_DIR=/usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins install' installs
the plugin (copied sensors.co) into '/usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins'.
Version 1.4 handled DESTDIR like LXPANEL_PLUGINS_DIR is handled
now. DESTDIR now follows the standard (from
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html ).
My thanks to https://github.com/rikardfalkeborn for these fixes.
1.7 (2014-05-24)
Fixed problem with installation not work on systems where
'pkg-control --variable=libdir lxpanel' returns something. I'm not
sure what this returns exactly so we search for a builtin-plugin in
what is returned. From the autotools of the lxpanel example plugin
it looks like it returns e.g. '/usr/lib/lxpanel', but on a Arch
linux system it returns '/usr/lib/'.
