## Version 0.13 (March 28, 2011)
_New features_
- New `Volume` monitor displaying ALSA soundcards information, by
Thomas Tuegel.
- New `ThermalZone` plugin substituting `Thermal` and using linux's
*sysfs* interface (you need this one if you're using a kernel
version equal to or above 2.6.37). See [issue 44].
- xmobar app new has WM_CLASS, WM_NAME and _NET_WM_PID xprops
([issue 38]).
_Incompatible changes_
- In the process of solving [issue 14], we've broken those
configurations that rely on including alignment separators in the
input fed to `StdinReader`.
- The MPD plugin does not accept host and port options anymore: use
the environment variables MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT instead.
- The `Mail` plugin now takes a second parameter (a string)
specifying its alias. As a side-effect, this solves [issue 30].
_Bug fixes_
- [issue 14]: `StdinReader` and other plugins accepting external
input don't get confused anymore when characters from `alignSep`
appear in their input.
- [issue 27]: `BottomSize` placement now respects its width argument.
- [issue 28]: Compilation in Mac OS X fixed.
- [issue 30]: `Mail` plugin can be specified anywhere in commands list.
- [issue 36]: Battery monitor now supports non-standard locations of
the `/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online` file.
- [issue 40]: Battery monitor now supports the new power_now, that
replaces current_now in linux kernels for v. 2.36 and above.
- [issue 42]: More accurate net monitor rates.
- DiskIO, Cpu and MultiCpu monitors are also more accurate now.
- Text is now correctly centered vertically.
- `FullBM` border spec fixed.

## Version 0.12 (Dec 24, 2010)
xmobar has a new [maintainer], a new [website], a new [mailing
list] and uses a new [source code repository].
Many thanks to Andrea Rossato, xmobar's author and maintainer so far,
for creating xmobar in the first place, and for giving me the chance
to become its maintainer. And a big thanks to Ben Boeckel, Petr Rockai
and Norbert Zeh for their patches.

- Window borders: configuration options `border` and `borderColor`
allow drawing borders around xmobar's window.
- New monitor, `Uptime`, showing the system uptime.
- New monitor argument (`-S`) to enable displaying the `%` symbol in
percentages or other suffixes (e.g., units in Uptime and Network);
the symbol is now never included by default.
- New 'run once' commands, by specifying a 0 refresh rate in `Run
Com` ([issue 26]).
- MPD monitor: updated to libmpd 1.5. New fields `ppos` (playlist
position) and `remaining` (remaining time). New configuration
options to specify MPD's host, user name and password.
- Battery monitor: new `watts` and `timeleft` fields (Petr Rockai),
and specific arguments to control coloring and thresholds of the
former.
- MultiCPU monitor: new `auto*` fields that automatically detect all
present CPUs (Ben Boeckel).
- CpuFreq monitor uses just one decimal digit for GHz values (Petr
Rockai).

boxes in monitors (Norbert Zeh).
- TopMem and TopProc now use the `-L` and `-H` options correctly for
