[ Dan Nurmi ]
* powerwake: add support for a broadcast argument, add getopt support

[ Dustin Kirkland ]
* powerwake.1: updated to handle Dan's extensions and new arguments
* powernap_calculator, powernap_calculator.1: new script to help determine
  the expected power savings usings powernap in a cloud environment;
  manpage documentation added
* debian/powernap.logrotate: rotate the powernap log
* powernapd: overhaul powernap's logging using python's built-in logging
  functionality
* debian/control: bump standards version

6. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2009-07-10

* powerwake: handle more gracefully the lack of an /etc/ethers file
* powernapd: fix timestamp

5. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2009-07-09

* powerwake: maintain and use a cache of mac addresses, in
  /var/cache/powerwake/ethers; test is_mac() before adding to arp hash
* debian/powerwake.dirs, debian/powerwake.install,
  debian/powerwake.postinst, debian/control: add a separate powerwake
  package
* debian/manpages, debian/powerwake.manpages: added manpage debhelper
  files
* debian/control: recommend ethtool, which might be necessary to enable
  wake-on-lan on your ethernet card, powernap depends on pm-utils
* powernap -> powernapd, debian/init, debian/install: rename the python
  powernap daemon 'powernapd'
* powernap.1 -> powernapd.8: renamed, note ethtool
* powernap: new script that will either take a specified action, or
  run one of (pm-suspend, pm-hibernate, poweroff)
* powernap.8: document new script
* action: conffile describing what should go there
* debian/init: drop stdout on 'now' status check
* debian/*: use powernap.* and powerwake.* to remove any ambiguity
* powernapd: look for activity on /dev/* consoles and in /proc/interrupts
  during the grace period, such that any activity will cancel the
  powernap operation
* powerwake, powerwake.1: update to allow for static configuration
  override in /etc/ethers

4. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2009-06-29

* config: add default value statement to each item; add sane defaults;
  add grace period section
* powernap: add a system-wide warning message using 'wall', and a grace
  seconds interval to cancel the operation of 60 seconds (by default);
  move to using global variables for options defined in the config file
* debian/control: depend on bsdutils for 'wall' utility

3. By Dustin Kirkland  on 2009-06-26

* config, debian/control, powernap.1, powernap.py: lower the default
  polling period from 10 seconds to 1 second; polling /proc is cheap,
  and empirical testing has shown a negligible performance impact;
  add a note about DEBUG
* powernap.py -> powernap:
  - abstract take_action() to a function, add a handler for --now
  - daemonize within the python script
  - eliminate the shell wrapper
  - log to /var/log/powernap.*
  - add signal handling for "now", USR1
* powernap.1: add log files
* debian/init: add 'now' action and signal passing
* powerwake: initial cut at powerwake utility
* powerwake.1: initial cut at powerwake documentation
