Hi all,

Dominik Brodowski suggested me to announce the GNOME CPUFreq applet releases here :-)

Greetings

Thanks to Alan Swanson, Dominik Brodowski, Marius Gedminas, etc. for bug reporting

Additional Notes
================

The applet is now able to change the CPU frequency. To do that, a generic command
line tool will be installed, and the applet will use it. Since it's needed to be root
to change the CPU frequency, the command line tool will be installed suid root.
But, this default behavior could be altered by passing arguments to the configure
script.

If you don't want to install the command line tool, you can use -- disable-frequency-selector
If you want to install the command line tool, but you don't want it suid root, you can
use --enable-suid=no
