Wicd 1.6.0 Branch
1.7.0:
Changes for Packagers:
- Wicd now supports a -k option, which should be run by the init script
when the daemon is stopped to release the DHCP lease but should not
be run on a restart of the daemon.
- The ability has been added to split Wicd's components into multiple
directories. Use --gtk, --cli, --curses, and --daemon to
setup.py configure to specify the locations of the respective
components.
- The preferred way to run the GTK UI is now to use wicd-gtk, not
wicd-client. wicd-gtk is a new addition to 1.7 that will never
run wicd-curses. wicd-client will automatically decide to run
wicd-curses if there is no X session available.
Major Changes:
- Connection information is available by right clicking the tray icon
- Can set the hostname per network for all DHCP clients
- urwid 0.9.9 is now supported
- Added wicd-cli, a command line interface for use in scripts
- Global scripts are now passed parameters specifying the network
Minor Changes:
- Support for only displaying notifications using -o to wicd-client
- Reconnecting now works when measuring signal strength in dBm
- ESSIDs made of numbers now work properly
- All valid wpa_supplicant drivers are now displayed
- Wired network is now displayed while scanning wireless networks
- Added wicd-gtk, a command to always and only run the GTK UI
- Marked ioctl backend not supported
- Use dhcpcd-bin on Debian instead of dhcpcd script
1.6.2:
Minor Changes:
- Now deals better if the interface disappears while running
- Will now start if the global script directories don't exist
- Adhoc window will now work correctly
- PSK can be generated from non-ASCII characters
- Fix a minor wicd-curses crash while connecting during a scan
1.6.1:
Minor Changes:
- User is told if the lack permission to access the daemon
- Support for wireless cards that don't report signal strength added
- Enhanced network configuration dialog title
1.6.0:
Major Changes:
- Improved tray icon and GUI images (thanks to Martin Sagastume)
- Reorganized network list in the GUI for easier navigation
- New experimental ioctl backend, which is more cpu-friendly than the
previous one
- Added a curses client (thanks to Andrew Psaltis)
- Added a right-click connection menu to the tray icon
- Added options to specify a DNS domain and search domain for static networks
- Reworked the Preferences menu to be more in line with GNOME standards
- Added support for global scripts
- Made it possible to have optional entries in encryption templates
- Added ability to show libnotify notifications on status change
Minor Changes and Other Enhancements:
- Better autoconnection behavior
- Tray/GUI will survive the daemon being killed
- Reasons for connection failures will now bubble back to the GUI
- Add/remove wired profile system is now more user-friendly
- Support for using resolvconf instead of directly editing /etc/resolv.conf
- Wicd won't blindly kill dhcp clients / wpa_supplicant any more
- Added an option to automatically switch from a wireless network to a wired
one as soon as a cable is plugged in
- Moved scanning to its own thread, which makes GUI and daemon more responsive
during scans
- Made it possible to specify macros in script entries
- The GUI will now display the encryption entry dialog if you attempt to
connect to an encrypted network without entering a password
- Static gateway entry is now optional
- Passwords with leading or trailing whitespace are now stored properly
- Many init/config script, man page, and setup.py fixes/updates, including
better autodetection of file placement with regard to sleep hooks and
KDE autostart files (thanks to Robby Workman)
