2.2 build 35 - November 12, 2008 -------------------------------- + Added a Low Battery and Critical Battery popup notification. When your battery reaches a certain percentage, a popup will appear indicating the number of minutes percentage left on your battery. You can customize the notifications by editing BatteryBar.Settings.Xml in %APPDATA%\BatteryBar + Added a Low battery and Critical Battery audio alert. BatteryBar plays the sounds as defined in Control Panel -> Sound. + Added detection when the computer goes into suspend mode or resumes, which helps make sure that the data recorded about your battery usage is accurate + Added an option to change the default display on the bar between "Time Remaining" or "Percent Remaining" + Added time remaining to the status popup in the "Battery" line * Changed the order of the items in the status popup * Fixed support for multiple batteries. Charge/Discharge statistics are aggregate, so the "Time Remaining" will only be accurate if you always use your computer with the same number of batteries. * Fixed "Capacity" line in status popup to show "mWh" instead of "mW" and added a space between the number and the unit * Fixed percentages to display with or without a space between the number and the % symbol based on culture * Fixed vertical status bar in the status popup for some users * Fixed the sizing of the status popup for non-English languages * Fixed an error if no batteries were found on startup * Updated the status popup to be different if no batteries are installed 2.1 build 23 - September 20, 2008 -------------------------------------- + Added a check to try to refresh battery info when resuming from Standy/Hibernate + Added logic to handle when the battery drops more than one percentage point suddenly. Example: My battery drops from 100% to 96% when unplugged. It never shows 99%, 98%, or 97%. The same happens on recharge. Actual time elapsed is compared to estimate time elapsed. * Improved Time Remaining algorithm to adjust better due to current battery drain rate (e.g., if you're watching a DVD you time remaining will be less than if it's just sitting idle) * Tooltip changed show that information lines up nicely in all languages * ShowTooltip setting now works for new tooltip + Added progress bar and icon to tooltip * Changed "Rate" to "Charge Rate" and "Discharge Rate" depending on battery status + Unexpected errors are reported to the user and always logged 2.0 build 16 - August 24, 2008 ------------------------- * Time Remaining is calculated based on statistical history of your battery usage, making it significantly more accurate than Windows time remaining estimation. * Added "Full Lifetime" to Tooltip, which indicates how long your battery will last on a full charge * Added support for translations via BatteryBar.Translation.xml * Added support for user settings via BatteryBar.Settings.xml * Installer now supports installing on 64-bit versions of XP and Vista * Changed BatteryBar to look like a Vista-style button * Clicking on BatteryBar will toggle between time remaining and percentage view * Clicking on BatteryBar will reload user settings and translations, so they can be changed without closing and opening the toolbar * More detailed information is collected about your battery. 1.1 - July 23, 2008 ----------------------- * BatteryBar is now persistent between reboots (you don't need to manually enable the toolbar after rebooting) * Quick Launch bar should no longer disappear when you reboot * Recharge time estimation improved 1.0.1.0 - July 20, 2008 - Initial Release
