Version 3.5 includes these new features and fixes:
- Sleeper now saves multiple configuration settings and will automatically switch between configurations when running a PowerBook from battery or ac adapter. Configurations can also be changed manually from the Control Strip.
- Buttons have been added to allow keyboard entry of any desired delay (1-999 minutes) for the screen saver, disk sleep, password activation, monitor power-down, sleep, and shutdown.
- Sleeper now supports desktop LCD displays, such as the Apple Studio
and Apple Cinema displays.
- There are now options to control processor cycling.
- Sleep capabilities in 7450-based G4 PowerMacs (G4/733 and above) are now properly recognized.
- Sleeper now unmounts servers before going to sleep, avoiding Mac OS 9's warning about "losing network services" if the computer is put to sleep.
- On PowerBooks, the Finder's Sleep command is now intercepted by Sleeper, just as it is on desktop Macs.
- The "flash keyboard LED's when attention is required" feature now works with USB keyboards.
- When Sleeper was installed, Disk First Aid would sometimes stop scanning a drive, complaining that the disk was in use. This has been fixed.
- A conflict between Sleeper and Iomega Zip and Jaz drivers has been fixed. The problem could cause the Finder to freeze after waking up from sleep on some Macintoshes.
- The expert options (cmd-option-click on the Help button) now include a
switch that prevents Sleeper from changing the backlight brightness of
LCD screens.
- Sleep and wake-up are now more reliable on the PowerMac G4 and iMac DV.
- A conflict has been fixed between Sleeper's passwords and Orange PC.
- Sleeper no longer leaves the backlight turned off on PowerBooks if they
crash or are restarted while the screen is dimmed.
- Problems waking from sleep under OS 9 have been corrected.
- The clocks on G4 PowerMacs no longer lose time when they're asleep.
- Sleeper now supports ORB drives.
- Sleeper will put machines to sleep even if the monitor is still powered
up and undimmed.
