0.8.0 (2012-08-24)

• History browsing (LP: #220778).

• New setting to hide the tasks pane on startup (LP: #767096).

• Reload timelog.txt automatically when it changes (LP: #220775).

• Fix segfault on startup (LP: #1016212).

• Summary view (Alt-3) that shows total work in each category.

• Fix popup menu on the task pane (LP: #1040031).

• New command-line option: –prefer-pygtk. Only useful for testing against the deprecated PyGtk bindings instead of the modern pygobject-introspection.

• New command-line option: –quit.

• Fix popup menu of the tray icon (LP: #1039977).

• Fix crash on exit when using Gtk+ 2 (LP: #1040088).

• New command-line option: –debug.

• New command-line option: –version.

0.7.1 (2012-02-01)

• Fix reporting problems with non-ASCII characters when using gobject-introspection (LP: #785578).

• Fix ^C not exiting the app when using gobject-introspection.

• Implement panel icon color autodetection logic that was missing in the gobject-introspection case (LP: #924390).

• New command-line option: –help.

• New command-line option: –replace. Requires that the running version support the new DBus method ‘Quit’, which was also added in this version.

• Messages printed to stdout are prefixed by “gtimelog” (GUI app output often ends up in ~/.xsession-errors, it’s polite to identify yourself when writing there).

• DBus errors do not pass silently.

0.7.0 (2011-09-21)

• Use gobject-introspection by default, using pygtk only as a fallback. This will require a newer gir1.2-pango-1.0 than what’s in Ubuntu Oneiric (LP: #855076) and still suffers from key presses being ignored (LP: #849732). Unset the environment variable UBUNTU_MENUPROXY to work around the latter bug.

• Rework the gi/pygtk imports so that only the minimum is wrapped in a try-except.

• Use /usr/bin/env python in #! line, though this should be hard-coded to the installed version of Python in the Debian package.

• Other code cleanup (e.g. use new-style classes via __metaclass__, remove ancient workaround for missing set built-in).
