Recent releases


Changes: In the Debian package, configuration in /etc/init.d/idlebeep was moved to the /etc/default/idlebeep file. An update is unnecessary if you compiled the previous version yourself.


Changes: This release adds a monitor for the system load and state-dependent thresholds to realize a hysteresis.


Changes: exit(1) for non-existing network interfaces has been removed. This is useful for dialup connections where network devices are created and removed.


Changes: Alarm actions have been added for idle and working states.


Changes: Compilation fixes for FreeBSD.
