[ltp] [ANN] tp_smapi 0.19 adds dates, improves stability

[Shem Multinymous]

The newly released tp_smapi 0.19 adds battery first use and
manufacture date information. On my test machine, it also seems to
completely resolve the issue with embedded controller hangs; please
tell me if you still experience any.

0.19  2006-04-08
----------------
- Added new battery status attributes:
  /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT?/first_use_date
  /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT?/manufacture_date
- Bugfix in tp_base embedded controller readout
  (missing prefetch invalidation). This apparently solves the remnants of t=
he
  the embedded-controller-lockup problem.
- "make load" now demands "HDAPS=3D1" if the hdaps module is loaded.
- hdaps driver patch:
  - Remember keyboard/mouse activity for 0.1sec, so that all applications
    get a chance to read it (the hardware resets its activity flag
    when it's read).
