We are pleased to announce the release of PowerTOP v2.1 which concludes =

a minor release.

About PowerTOP:
PowerTOP is a Linux tool to diagnose issues with power consumption and =

power management. In addition to being a diagnostic tool, PowerTOP also =

has an interactive mode where you can experiment with various power =

management settings for cases where the Linux distribution has not =

enabled those settings.

PowerTOP reports which components in the system are most likely to blame =

for a higher-than-needed power consumption, ranging from software =

applications to active components in the system. Detailed screens are =

available for CPU C and P states, device activity, and software activity.

For many years, PowerTOP has been used heavily by Intel, Linux =

distributors, and various parts of the open source community. We're =

hoping that our users find the second generation even more useful for =

their needs.

Highlights:
--Added Transifex project integration
--Added localization of the UI with 9 languages in progress and active
--Support for cores without P-states
--Support for Intel GPU statistics
--PowerTOP manual page added
--Added an option to specify workload to run during measurement
--Add an option to suppress output to the terminal
--Added more ARM support assets
--Synced Traceevent library from the kernel tree for better event parsing
--Bug fixes and clean ups
