NEW! (5/8/2005) Version 0.96 (threads_per_core fix)
(2/5/2005) Version 0.95
(2/8/04) Version 0.90, see the "ChangeLog" section for details

What's New (5/8/2005)
Just a quick update to 0.96. This fixes the Centrino problem, where the automatic HT detection made Pentium-M systems think they had 0 threads, instead of 1. With this update you should no longer need to run with '-c 1' explicitly set on the command line on those systems. Let me know if there are further issues. For the record, we just default to 1 if we get a weird number. I can't test this locally, but it looks solid. Also fixed a bug with the new table based code broke on systems without scaling_available_frequencies (eg, PPC). If you had problems with 0.95, please upgrade. 0.96 should return powernowd to the simple "run and forget" daemon it was in 0.90.

Thats the changelog for 0.96.

When the package is updated will it be made available on the backports repository thru synaptic?

I thought it was done allready, I haven't seen it become available yet.

And add at the end

## Backports Staging

Then
