[ANNOUNCE] Laptop Mode Tools 1.66 Released

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf <rrs@researchut.com>]

Hello Folks,

I am very pleased to announce Laptop Mode Tools, at version 1.66.

This release fixes an important bug in the way Laptop Mode Tools is invoked. Users, now when disable it in the config file, the tool will be disabled. Thanks to bendlas@github for narrowing it down. The GUI configuration tool has been improved, thanks to Juan. And there is a new power saving module for users with ATI Radeon cards. Thanks to M. Ziebell for submitting the patch.

Changelog:
