Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 22:32:50 +0000 (GMT) From: davej@suse.de To: Powertweak mailing list <powertweak-linux@lists.sourceforge.net>, Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Powertweak v0.99.0 v0.99.0 of the system performance tuning tool "Powertweak" is released. Available from http://powertweak.sourceforge.net This release brought about a complete rewrite. Some of the major changes since the last public release are... - Should now work on all architectures. (Tested on ia32/Sparc/Alpha/PPC) - By default, Powertweak now starts as a daemon that should be run on bootup. (Old behaviour still possible with --no-daemon) The GUI now communicates with the daemon instead of doing the tweaking itself. - Backends are now completely modular plugin libraries. This allowed for easier cross-platform usage, and a cleaner API. - Profiles. Tell Powertweak "This is a webserver" and have it auto-tune. - Rewritten /proc/sys tuning backend. - PCI backend now uses XML files to describe tweaks. Several chipsets added since 0.1.17 release. - Addition of a disk elevator tuning backend. - CPU register tuning is now possible, as long as you have the cpuid/msr drivers in your kernel (2.2.18, or 2.4.0test) - Working text mode user interface. regards, Davej. -- | Dave Jones <davej@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~davej | SuSE Labs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
