Its Happening

After literal months of work, Power Manager 5.0.0 is finally being released.

This release drops support for all Android versions less than 16 (Jelly Bean), but brings with it much improved memory management, improved image management by using Square's Picasso library, a (hopefully) better implementation of Material Design, and lots of nice new bells and whistles.

The application should perform faster in general, consume less memory to run the background service, respond quicker to screen events, and be better incorporated with Android's Doze function on API 23 (Marshmallow). Much of the old code is removed, and Ads are now entirely optional. In fact there is only One Ad available for viewing in the application, and is view able if the user so wishes by selecting the white Redeem icon from the action bar.

With this release, Power Manager is redefining its goals as a project. Started originally as a learning experience for the author, Power Manager now seeks to be the cleanest and safest option for users looking to control the battery consumption of their Android devices. Bearing this in mind, the release of Power Manager 5.0.0 comes with complete commitment to the bettering of software through the open source community.

Power Manager is now hosted completely in the Open on GitHub, at:

https://github.com/pyamsoft/power-manager

The project is released under the Apache 2 license, similarly to much of the Android code base.

As always, users are encouraged to update to the latest and greatest. The application will be live in about an hour following this post.

Of Course

So some personal commitments got in the way of my hoped for Power Manager release. Following the resolution of those commitments, personal projects got in the way of Power Manager. And with the start of more work and other commitments, Power Manager will unfortunately be pushed back to the close date of *soon*.

In other news, pstate-frequency 2.0.3 is released. It's a small bugfix release which changes how certain input is handled and generally seeks to make the program even more secure. Here's to hoping for its success in the new year.

Happy New Year to all.
