Notes

Currently, batt is known to be fairly stable now. So here we are, the first non-beta release. This release focuses on stability so several new features will not be included in this release because they are not considered to be well-tested. If you want the latest features, you can try the upcoming beta releases.

If you encounter any problem, please post it on GitHub Issues so I can help. You can find logs from /tmp/batt.log. I appreciate your input.

batt daemon have its log levels set to debug for easy debugging so you may find a lot of logs. You can truncate it and only keep the useful parts before reporting.

v0.1.0-beta.4

Changelog

• chore: more accurate description about the battery voltage by @charlie0129 in a070c0a
• chore: make before-sleep delay longer by @charlie0129 in 4f2b2f0
• chore: show git commit info on daemon start by @charlie0129 in 8e7679c
• fix: make sure sleep lasts across system sleeps by @charlie0129 in 581999a
• chore: improve logs by @charlie0129 in 235c7e4
• feat: make status more human-readable by @charlie0129 in ff2a4e5

• fix: always use --allow-non-root-access flag value instead of config value when installing by @charlie0129 in a9d7557

Notes

This is a beta release. Although I have tested and verified most features on my own Mac, this doesn't mean they will work on other computers. Since we will typically only charge MacBooks less than once per day, it becomes particularly hard to test edge cases. Therefore, rather extensive testing is required before batt can be marked as production-ready.
