Changes in version 0.6.0 (released 2011-08-23)

• Ctrl-Q now quits. (LP: #750092)

• Fixed UnboundLocalError. (LP: #778285) Given by Jeroen Langeveld.

• Ported from PyGTK to GI. This supports GTK 2 and GTK 3 with GI now, but still works with PyGTK.

  Packager’s note: If you want to use GI, you need to change the package’s dependencies from pygtk to the package that provides the GTK and Pango typelibs (e. g. gir1.2-gtk-2.0 and gir1.2-pango-1.0 on Debian/Ubuntu). It also requires pygobject >= 2.27.1.

• Hide the main window on Esc. Fixes LP: #716257.

Changes in version 0.5.0 (released 2011-01-28)

• Switched from Glade to GtkBuilder. This fixes those strange theme problems GTimeLog had with Ubuntu’s Radiance and especially Ambiance. (LP: #644393)

  Packagers note: src/gtimelog/gtimelog.glade is gone, it was replaced by src/gtimelog/gtimelog.ui. It needs to be installed into /usr/share/gtimelog/.

• GTimeLog now supports Ubuntu’s application indicators. There’s a new configuration option, prefer_app_indicator, defaulting to true. Fixes LP: #523461.

• GTimeLog tries to detect your theme color and make the tray icon dark or bright, for good contrast. This is a hack that doesn’t work reliably, but is better than nothing. Fixes LP: #700428.

  Packagers note: there’s a new icon file, src/gtimelog/gtimelog-small-bright.png. It needs to be installed into /usr/share/gtimelog/.

• Made GTimeLog a single instance application. Requires python-dbus. The following command line options are supported:

  gtimelog --ignore-dbus
      always launch a new application instance, do not start the DBus service
  
  gtimelog --toggle
      if GtimeLog already running, show or hide the GTimeLog window,
      otherwise launch a new application instance
  
  gtimelog
      if GtimeLog already running, bring the GTimeLog window to the front,
      otherwise launch a new application instance

  Contributed by Bruce van der Kooij (https://launchpad.net/~brucevdk), Fixes LP: #356495.

• New option: start_in_tray. Defaults to false. Contributed by Bruce van der Kooij (https://launchpad.net/~brucevdk), as part of his patch for LP: #356495.

• New command-line option: –tray. Makes GTimeLog start minimized, or exit without doing anything if it’s already running.

• Added some documentation for contributors: HACKING.txt.

• Daily reports include totals by category. Contributed by Laurynas Speičys <[e-mail]>.

• The tasks pane can be toggled by pressing F9 and has a close button.

• Alternative weekly and monthly report style, can be chosen by adding report_style = categorized to ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc. Contributed by Laurynas Speičys <[e-mail]>.

• Bugfix: always preserve the order of entries, even when they have the same timestamp (LP: #708825).

Changes in version 0.4.0 (released 2010-09-03)

• Added configuration variable ‘chronological’ to control initial view of either Chronological (True) or Grouped (False). Contributed by Barry Warsaw <[e-mail]> (LP: #628876)

• Recognize $GTIMELOG_HOME environment variable to use something other than ~/.gtimelog as the configuration directory. Contributed by Barry Warsaw <[e-mail]> (LP: #628873)

• Changed application name to ‘GTimeLog Time Tracker’ in the desktop file (Debian #595280)
