About:
Laptop Mode Tools allows you to control various power management settings based on AC/battery power state. Among other things, it controls Linux's "Laptop Mode" feature that allows your hard drive to spin down for extended periods. It can also control CPU frequency scaling and screen blanking timeouts (both terminal and X). It supports automatic hibernation when battery is low.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
More powertop tips are now supported: bluetooth and HAL polling are disabled. A number of bugs were fixed.
