KThinkBat is a laptop battery monitor for the KDE-Kicker. It is inspired by the "Battery Maximizer" included with Levono (former IBM) ThinkPads. Although there are allready some battery monitor applications for the K-Desktop Environment, they ar mostly too small to see the current battery charge at a glance. Features include display of current battery strength as a percentage, and visually as a gauge, display of the current online/offline state, and display of current power consumption. It has support for a second battery. On ThinkPads, it can use the SMAPI BIOS interface. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: Beta support for the new sysfs ACPI interface 'power_supply' for Linux Kernels >=2.6.24_rc1. Refactored battery backends. Each backend has its own driver now. Currently available battery drivers are ACPI, ACPI_SYSFS (alpha), and SMAPI, but writing other driver should be easy. 'make install' installs kthinkbat_panelapplet.{la,so} into $PREFIX/lib/kdeX. Translation updates to German, Italian, and Slovak. A regression bug where "mWh" was used instead of the correct "mW" unit has been fixed. This release will not show percentage values greater than 100.
