Hi, As of 0.8 alpha, thinkfan does not work on laptops which return temp with a newline char (as is the case for with X220, for example). There's a solution in the form of a patch here https://gist.github.com/2355667 Here's a PKGBUILD with the included patch http://pastebin.com/YjKqg5cp Thanks

I updated the package. The default config files are gone in this release. So, you have to create your own /etc/thinkfan.conf before you can start the daemon. See the README in /usr/share/doc/thinkfan/README for more information.

On the thinkfan website he writes: "0.8 is out, but I named it alpha since there are no unit tests and I really can't test every possible scenario. We do need some more testing since there have been significant changes to functionality." So it doesn't seem like he considers this version especially more or less stable (or more or less "alpha") than the previous version. He's just tring to be honest that this is something so few people use, he can't really say that it's been effectively tested. And that was six months ago that .8 came out. This is something that is so infrequently updated, I wouldn't hold my breath for the "stable" version. Anyway, that's my point of view. Maybe a separate alpha package is needed, if you're not comfortable upgrading this one?

0.8 is marked as 'alpha2'. It seems, that 0.8 is not considered a stable release.

0.8 is available. please update.

Please update to 0.7.3. It corrects an important problem.
