See http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/devkit-devel/2014-December/001653.html
for the list of changes (lots of memleaks fixed, update display device
when battery is removed, etc..)
xfce4-power-manager seems happy with it, upower -d reports correct
values, and gnome-power-statistics still display a nice graph.
Reminded by ajacoutot@
there will be some fallout due to major API changes, but they will be dealt with
today as the offenders (gnome-related) will be updated.

Note that now by default, upowerd will run apm -C when running
on battery and apm -A when on AC, this can be disabled by setting
RunPowersaveCommand to false in etc/UPower/UPower.conf.
ok ajacoutot@
- remove history dir patches merged upstream
- fix deps wrt gettext module, update plist accordingly
- fix rate value, was wrong since last commit to acpibat.c

UPower is an abstraction for enumerating power devices, listening to
device events and querying history and statistics. Any application or
service on the system can access the org.freedesktop.UPower service
via the DBUS system message bus.
OpenBSD specific backend written by yours truly with help from upstream
developer. So far, battery levels and ac status works, using either apm
or acpibat/acpiac if available.
As a sidenote, if udev, udisks and friends were designed with the same
clear separation between os-specific and generic parts, porting to
'alternative OSes' would be much simpler. UPower is a nice example of
'how to design a portable service'.
with a patch for glib version check, tweaks and ok ajacoutot@
