This release fixes a small issue with the power scripts. The ambiguous hdparm option '-p', used by the hdparm script, was removed. This option has some side effects and anyway is not necessary because the kernel controls IDE drives very efficiently.

This releases fix some minor bugs. PBButtonsd isable again to read the trackpad configuration from the config file and GTKPBButtons doesn't block the sound device anymore when launched as daemon.

This release got support for the newautomatic ambient light controller model in pbbuttonsd and any other new feature of pbbuttonsd 0.8.0. To make this instantly visible the version numbers of both programs have been aligned.

A lot of ancient restrictions were eliminated and all GUI elements were adapted to pbbuttonsds modern and flexible driver system.

This release adds support for Apples MacBooksan MacBook Pros to pbbuttonsd. This includes support for LCD and keyboard backlight control, ambient light sensor with automatic brightness adjustment and basic ACPI support.

Furthermore the automatic brightness controller was replaced by a new one. The new model results in a more precise brightness adjustment of LCD backlight and keyboard illumination and is easier and more flexible to configure.

This release uses a new configuration file which is called pbbuttonsd.cnf and follows a standard format from freedesktop.org. The old file is no longer read and must be moved manually to the new format (which is not so difficult :-) ).

The developer documentation uses doxygen now. call configure with --with-doxygen-docs and make will generate it.

A whole bunch of bug fixes complete this release.
