Welcome to Clightd 5.0!
Lots of effort was put in this release; let's dig into the details!

First of all, the long awaited...

  • DPMS, GAMMA and SCREEN gained support for both tty and wayland!

Wayland support

For wayland support, specific wayland protocols need to be implemented by your compositor:
* For GAMMA, wlr-gamma-control-unstable-v1 is needed
* For SCREEN, wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1 is needed
* For DPMS, org_kde_kwin_dpms is needed
As naming suggests, GAMMA and SCREEN protocols are provided by wlroots based compositor, while DPMS protocol is provided by kwin.

  • Moreover, both DPMS, GAMMA and SCREEN dbus API was updated to reflect multiple plugins support: they all now expose
    multiple object paths, for each supported plugin; this means you will find, eg (for DPMS):

    • /org/clightd/clightd/Dpms/Xorg
    • /org/clightd/clightd/Dpms/Wl
    • /org/clightd/clightd/Dpms/Drm

Plus a common /org/clightd/clightd/Dpms that will use first available plugin.
For more information, head to {Dpms,Gamma,Screen} wiki pages.

Now move on with other new features!

Dpms

  • Added a Dpms.Changed signal
  • It does now return a boolean in Set method, following gamma and backlight Set methods

Gamma

  • Added a Gamma.Changed signal
  • Allow concurrent changes on different displays (ie: you can now change eg: ":0" and ":8" screen temperature at the same time independently)

Camera

  • Supports mjpeg input format through libjpeg
  • Restores previous camera settings at end of capture
  • Avoids setting camera fmt during validation, as device validation should not change device status

Yoctolight

Yoctolight is a small usb Ambient Light Sensor device; you can find more informations: http://www.yoctopuce.com/EN/products/usb-environmental-sensors/yocto-light-v3.
I am in no way affiliated to this project; i just bought one a year ago to experiment with it and then added support for it.

  • Yoctolight support is now enabled and built by default in eg: archlinux aur package
  • Lots of fixes
  • Avoids infinite loops

Generic

  • To enable easier packaging support, clightd moved to LIBEXECDIR intead of LIBDIR (thanks ferki for the PR!)

As always, wiki doc was updated to reflect all the changes.

I hope you will find this new release super useful!
As always, thank to everyone involved, be it opening issues or sending PRs!
Merry xmas everyone! And hopefully a happy new year!
