There's no more need to edit init files and manually disable widgets.

Old dio.lua was moved to contrib. New one is used like CPU widget is,
request the device or parition in the format argument, {sda read_mb}
as an example. New widget doesn't provide scheduler information, but I
don't know anyone who used that. If you think this is wrong let me
know.
The os.time() call should not be passed as an argument it self,
because of a chance it will be stored internally and so we would
always get the same time. Instead we can pass time offsets in seconds,
i.e. to go 6 hours forward we can use the widget argument 21600, to go
6 hours back we use -21600 instead.
Contrib should be better known because of the extra widgets it
contains. While the vicious-fbsd branch by Richard Kolkovich was
already added to the vicious home page and needs more exposure.
Widget type uses curl now, like all other types accessing network
resources (until, if ever, we switch to luasocket). Where previously
only the currently playing song was returned now you can access these
keys: {volume}, {state}, {Artist}, {Title}, {Album}, {Genre}. You can
provide an optional table argument to change password, host or port.
Login information is now kept in the ~/.netrc file, which should be
readable only by the owner. This should solve futher problems with
unquoted characters addressed in the last commit. The format of the
~/.netrc file is as follows (also documented in the README):
machine mail.google.com login user password pass
Widget type now takes the thermal zone as an argument, or a table with
1st field as thermal zone and 2nd field as data source. Available data
sources are: "proc" (procfs ACPI), "sys" (sysfs like before) and
"core" (sysfs coretemp). When only the thermal zone is provided widget
defaults to "sys".
This widget type now takes the distribution name as an argument; Arch,
Arch S, Debian and Fedora examples are now in the package manager
table. Feedback from yum users is needed.
This changes keys that are returned, previously only total I/O was
available in: {raw}, {kb} and {mb}. Keys returned now are (s=raw):
{total_s}, {total_kb}, {total_mb}, {read_s}, {read_kb}, {read_mb},
{write_s},{write_kb} and {write_mb}.
Previous version could return 1 on one update and 900 on the next (1st
being GB, 2nd MB) a user appending "GB" to the value suddenly has a
900GB disk available. Returned keys are now: size_mb, size_gb,
used_mb, used_gb, avail_mb, avail_gb, and percentage is now: used_p.
Default path is set to /sys/class/thermal but at least it's easier to
switch to /sys/class/hwmon (i.e. coretemp) now without much code
modification. Note; zone IDs are probably different than those in
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone
