Bug Description
New version works better with SMP systems. With the growing number of dual core systems this might be desirable to have in dapper.

Already packaged for debian. In testing as well as unstable.

From the web site's "What's New".
There were quite a few minor SMP bugs in powernowd 0.96. It would work, but not wuite optimally. Especially on multi-socket, multi-core systems. Now that I have an Athlon X2, I was able to see what was wrong myself and fix it. There may still be a few bugs, but things should work much better now. I also changed the thread detection logic to use the cpufreq 'affected_cpus' file. This should be a lot more reliable.
Also note that 0.97 fixes the multi-CPU segfault. At least according to the debian bug report.
