New: KPowersave 0.6.2 (stable update)
================================

Changes/fixes since last stable release:
- KPowersave depends now on powersave >= 0.12.18
- fixed bugs:
  - sf.net #1483392/ SUSE #177792: set changes for autosuspend state via DCOP 
    back to the applet menu, added DCOP functions to set the current scheme, 
    the current CPUFreq policy and to open/close the detailed dialog
  - sf.net #1483392/ SUSE #177788,180000: added workaround to fix two bugs in 
    the DPMS- and Screensaver extension of X, related to autosuspend and detect
    user inactivity (DPMS timeouts are abstracted from current idle time, but
    shouldn't / DPMS timeouts are currently additive but shouldn*'t).  This fix
    problems with autosuspend if the timeout is longer than the DPMS timeouts.
  - SUSE #168619: changed errorhandling if HAL, DBUS or the powersave daemon
    is not running or if the user has not the needed rights to access the 
    powersave daemon via DBUS. Added new errormessages and translations.
  - SUSE #182515: Changed configure dialog to respect rules for DPMS timeouts
  - SUSE #176782: patch from Timo Hönig <thoenig@suse.de> to allow (if 
    supported and enabled in the scheme) change brighness via mousewheel over
    the applet icon.
  - SUSE (SLED) #183745: fixed detection of SUSE Linux/SLES/SLED and added 
    configure option to force SLES/SLED as distro with --enable-suse-sles. 
    Fixed bugzilla link for SLED/SLES
  - SUSE #184076: fixed wrong command to start dbus daemon in errormessage.
  - added additional check before autosuspend if this was disabled via applet
- added new configure check to detect Ubuntu/Kubuntu

  for applet menu entry "Report a bug ..." if compiled for Ubuntu/Kubuntu

  "unknown source ..." message in knotify dialog

- fixed detailed dialog for multiprocessor/-core machines without CPUFreq or 
  throttling support and offline CPUs/Cores
