All ERR()'s are renamed to NORM_ERR() and box to mbox so that they don't
clash with things in ncurses.h .
Ncurses is enabled by default when building conky but can be disabled with
--disable-ncurses .
At the moment configure doesn't check if ncurses is actually available.
I'm adding support for ncurses so that we can make as much things as possible
that are only available in X11 also available in console in the future.
The alias option was broken by fb8ccd7a05,
and it seems like trying to make it work again will only result in
breakage for env var substitution anyway.
Added conky_set_update_interval() API call, which allows you to change
Conky's update interval from a Lua script. Added the 'conky_info' table
to global Lua context, which still needs populating with stuff (right
now it only contains the current update interval and the system uptime).
Added support for X alignment across multi-lined objects (i.e., using
$alignr with $exec). This may be a bit buggy. Disabled OpenMP code
until GCC's implementation stabilizes (it's causing too many problems).
A couple Lua API changes.
First of all, we may or may not agree, but I consider reverting my
commits without prior discussion as a minimum unpolite.
I also don't like sites that oblige to register, thats the very reason
why I went with noaa first (and why I use that myself).
Howver, weather.com has a couple of nice features forom an user
viewpoint:
1. Their icons can be used to add a visual quality to the weather
report.
2. They have forecast data, which is not possible to have with noaa
(using TAF its an option, but its going to be very difficult and will
be limited in time and scope).
Nobody is obliged to do anything, people who likes noaa will use noaa,
people that don't mind register or wants the additional benefit will use
weather.com.
Having libxms2 as a dragged depends is, first of all, also with other
options (rss and eve), second we can try to work around it with an
additional compilation flag if really deemed necessary.
This reverts commit d872562942.
I am not really comfortable with adding support to the conky-code
for sites that only work when you register, that's more something
for in a script.
But the biggest reason I undid the commits is that it is now
impossible to compile conky with support for weather if you don't
have the xml libs installed. Users used to be able to compile with
support for weather (using the other site) without xml2.
If you really want to include this other site in the conky code
then split WEATHER in WEATHERCOM and WEATHERNOAA (altough my personal
opinion is that weather.com should only be supported with scripts)
I moved the weather stuff into its own thread, and also fixed up some
abuse of <simplelist> formatting throughout the docs. Hopefully we can
keep things a little more uniform from now on.
Should work with any window manager that supports the
freedesktop.org Window Manager Specification
(see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/wm-spec).
I have tested succesfully with openbox but some more testing with other
wm would be needed!
Support is built-in; if it is not acceptable to loose cpu cycles for this
at every conky refresh step than it should be conditionally compiled.
Improved Lua API (lua_read_parse has been removed in favour of the
conky_parse() Lua API call). The docs have been improved to reflect the
recent Lua API stuff as well. Introduced new Lua Cairo and Imlib2
bindings, which require the tolua++ tool. Fixed some other
miscellaneous doc related things.
Download, parse and display METAR data from the NWS.
icao must be a valid icao for the required location
(see for instance https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/qryhtml/icao/).
data_type must be one of the following:
last_update : display the date (yyyy/mm/dd) and time (UTC)
of the last update.
temperature_C : display air temperature in degree Celsius.
temperature_F : display air temperature in degree Fahrenheit.
cloud_cover : display the highest cloud cover status.
pressure : display air pressure in millibar.
wind_speed : display wind speed in km/hour.
wind_dir : display wind direction.
wind_dir_DEG : display compass wind direction.
humidity : display relative humidity in %.
weather : display any relevant weather event (rain, snow, etc.).
delay_in_minutes (optional, default 30) cannot be lower than 30 min.
Up to 3 stations can be simultaneously queried.
Use --enable-weather to compile this in.
The panel type reserves space along the edge of the
screen, just like regular DE panels, taskbars and the
like. I have tested it for several hours now with lots
of different settings, and it seems to be working fine.
Works especially well with alignment top_??? or
bottom_??? and single-line output. Something like
this:
own_window yes
own_window_type panel
alignment bottom_left
maximum_width 1680
minimum_size 1680
gap_x 0
gap_y 0
stippled_borders 1
draw_borders yes
update_interval 3.0
TEXT
$nodename $tab $freq_g ${color grey}GHz$color $tab $memperc% ${color grey}RAM$color $tab $cpu% ${color grey}CPU $tab etc...etc...$alignr${time %F %R}
The line after TEXT is supposed to be on one line,
just in case some channel has messed it up.

Basically, I just added three new process properties (io_read, io_write, io_perc - representing
the amount of I/O done by the process during the update interval) and $top_io, that sorts
processes based on io_perc.
Atm, it's completely #ifdef'd, since it requires kernel support. But that creates some wierd
looking syntax at some places, so it may be better to remove some ifdefs. It even may be
possible to completely remove the ifdefs (ie. convert them to #ifdef linux) since the code will
compile just fine even if the kernel doesn't support I/O accounting. I'll leave that for someone
else to decide.
