Or the percentage value will be different from alsamixer or desktop
environment's indicator, which confuses users.
Quote from amixer's manpage, "Use the mapped volume for evaluating the
percentage representation like alsamixer, to be more natural for human
ear."

Modern batteries should expose information about their design capacity
which we can compare to current capacity and deduce how much 'wear'
the battery got and expose that as a negative value percentage.
Feature sent in August took a while to convince the maintainer many
modern batteries provide this information.

Previously, a simple hyphen (“-”) was used to show that the battery is
discharging. The minus sign is a distinct char, and also distinct from
the en-dash (“–”) and the em-dash (“—”).
With this commit, I put in a unicode “MINUS SIGN” (0x2212) which I
created with a Digraph in Vim `^k-2`.

We need time to give this a proper test with various usage scenarios;
multiple screens (and thus widget object instances), widgets
suspending and resuming and so on. Most benefits should come from
running on battery power (and if not suspending all widgets but
Battery it self on battery power), with less wake-ups.

This reverts commit a6a73f47, because the issue was solved in mpd
release 0.18.2. I imported the workaround for historical reasons and
in case someone gets stuck with version 0.18 on his preferred OS
distribution.
Checkupdates is a good tool avoiding any need for period pacman -Sy
jobs from root crontab, however it works by maintaining its own
database in /tmp by default (and _that_ is a tmpfs by default) so on
every initialization it would stall awesome until it makes the first
sync. Better approach would be to keep its db inside $HOME for
persistence, and then to initiate the first (and longest) sync
manually before converting your package widgets to "Arch C".
All this is the reason I can't recommend it as the default right
now...
Vicious can be used stand-alone, or to feed widgets in window managers
beside awesome. So why not provide it to a few Ion, or WMII, or i3 or
<foobar> users. Lua is the best thing since sliced bread.
Years ago iwconfig started its life in /sbin. Then some distributions
moved it to /usr/bin. Then in 2012 some projects started pushing for
deprecation of /usr/sbin and merging everything into /usr/bin.
We now search paths including /usr/bin for the iwconfig binary. This
is because sbin paths are not usually in non privileged user PATH, so
we help io.popen locate the binary on the file-system.
We do this search in the following way:
- default to basename only, 'iwconfig' for the iwconfig variable
- search paths one by one once and redeclare variable iwconfig with
full path if binary is found in any
- avoid searching paths on next execution if iwconfig variable
already contains a path
Test case:
lua> foo = require("vicious.widgets.os")
lua> print(foo()[1])
/usr/share/lua/5.1/vicious/widgets/os.lua:66: attempt to call
field 'getenv' (a nil value)
With the Lua 5.2 port we change the way vicious is loaded as a module,
so that it remains backwards compatible with Lua 5.1 users. Also added
the author of the Lua 5.2 port to the contributors list.
In Lua 5.2 io.lines() has to be used to iterate until EOF, otherwise
the fd will not be closed and eventually tons of naughty messages
will start to pop up saying that no more fd can be opened.

Now that we are so nice to provide default frequency values check if
frequency exists before calculating voltage, not to screw up *those*
default values.

In some cases not all cpu informations will be provided.
(ex. in virtual machines)
Therefore default to "N/A".
