Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Powertweak v0.99.4

I just uploaded v0.99.4 (a bugfix only release) of Powertweak,
the hardware configuration/tuning tool to
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=253

v0.99.3 announced a few days ago had quite a few problems,
which this release fixes. As well as those documented below
there have been various fixes to get the code building on
various strange glibc/gcc/autoconf's

This stands a much greater chance of working than the
previous release, which I'll now pretend never happened.


v0.99.4 [Release 22. -- The 'Bug Barbecue' release ]

- Bugfixes:
- 'Disk' Submenu works again.
- CPU backend cleanups.
- Was using memory after free()
- 'BrandName' field removed, and CPUName field improved.
- CPU Name can now be any length.
- Now cleans identity structure prior to use.
- hdparm backend got an overdue cleanup.
- tweaks no longer carry excess ioctl info.
- allocation routines made simpler.
- Only 'Tree' elements of the tree are now sorted.
- When backends failed, we were dereferencing freed memory.
- Sonypi backend now unloads if no Sonypi hardware present.
- PCI backend tried to read past byte 255 of config space.
