 • add cpu_usage module
 • automatically detect the output format unless configured specifically
 • Bugfix: get time at the beginning of the loop
 • Bugfix: respect locale settings (for %c in date format)
 • debian: use [linux-any] in dependencies (Closes: #634491)

2010-09-22 i3status 2.2

 • Implement a discordian date module (like ddate(1))
 • Implement ALSA volume support

   space of your filesystem)
 • wireless: display quality relative to the wireless maximum quality.
 • wireless: display connection speed (bitrate)
 • wireless: custom colors for link quality
 • Bugfix: Treat an interface as 'down' when it cannot be found in
   /proc/net/wireless

 • disk: also round when printing TB
 • wireless: display no IP instead of (null)
 • instead of a relative sleep(1), sleep until the full second
 • colorize ethernet output
