- Bugfix: if timelog.txt was a symlink, changes to the symlink target would not get noticed automatically (GH: #128).
- The undocmented remote task list over HTTP(S) feature is now able to ask for basic HTTP authentication credentials and store them in gnome-keyring (GH: #109).
- Bugfix: entries with just a category and no task that did not have a trailing space after the ':' were considered to be uncategorized (GH: #117).
- Add Python 3.7 support.
- Drop Python 3.3 support.

- Adding new entries didn't update total weekly numbers (GH: #28).
- Note that Gtk+ 2.x is no longer supported (this regressed somewhere between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1, but I didn't notice because I have no access to a system that has Gtk+ 2.x).

- Moved to GitHub.
- HACKING.txt renamed to CONTRIBUTING.rst.
- Tests no longer require PyGTK/PyGObject.
- Add back Python 2.6 support (not 100% guaranteed, I don't have PyGObject for 2.6).
- Add Python 3.3 support.
- Fix strftime problem on Windows (LP: #1096489).

- Fix Unicode errors when user's name is non-ASCII (LP: #1117109).
- Dropped Python 2.6 support (by accident).
- 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 ^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.
- 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).
- Fix two crashes when using GI. Given by Martin Pitt.
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. Contributed by Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>.
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. Contributed by Vladislav Naumov (https://launchpad.net/~vnaum).
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 <laurynas@pov.lt>.
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 <laurynas@pov.lt>.Bugfix: always preserve the order of entries, even when they have the same timestamp (LP: #708825).
- Added configuration variable 'chronological' to control initial view of either Chronological (True) or Grouped (False). Contributed by Barry Warsaw <barry@python.org> (LP: #628876)
- Recognize $GTIMELOG_HOME environment variable to use something other than ~/.gtimelog as the configuration directory. Contributed by Barry Warsaw <barry@python.org> (LP: #628873)
- Changed application name to 'GTimeLog Time Tracker' in the desktop file (Debian #595280)
Double-clicking a category in task list tries hard to focus the input box (fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/608734).
Change default mailer to quote the command passed to x-terminal-emulator -e; this makes it work with Terminator (also tested with xterm and gnome-terminal). Fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/592552.
Note: if you've used gtimelog before, you'll have to manually edit ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc and change the mailer line from
mailer = x-terminal-emulator -e mutt -H %s
to
mailer = x-terminal-emulator -e "mutt -H %s"
Use xdg-open by default for editing timelog.txt and opening spreadsheets. Fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/592560.
Note: if you've used gtimelog before, you'll have to manually edit ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc and change
editor = gvim spreadhsheet = oocalc %s
to
editor = xdg-open spreadsheet = xdg-open %s
- Fixed broken sdist (by adding MANIFEST.in, since setuptools doesn't understand bzr by default).
- Added Makefile for convenience (make distcheck, make release).
- Fix DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated.
- Use gtk.StatusIcon if egg.trayicon is not available (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/209798).
- Option to select between old-style and new-style the tray icons: 'prefer_old_tray_icon' in ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc
- Option to disable the tray icon altogether by adding 'show_tray_icon = no' to ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/255618).
- Handle directory names with spaces (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/328118).
- Show version number in the About dialog (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/308750).
Packagers take note: the main module was renamed from gtimelog.gtimelog to gtimelog.main. If you have wrapper scripts that used to import 'main' from gtimelog.gtimelog, you'll have to change them.
- Don't open a console window on Windows.
- Moved the primary GTimeLog source repository to Bazaar hosted on Launchpad.
- Show time spent at the office (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/238515).
- Closing the main window minimizes GTimeLog to the system tray (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/239271)
- Ability to time-offset new log item (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291356)
- Fix duplicates in the completion popup after you reload the log file (https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtimelog/+bug/238505).
- Change status to Beta in setup.py -- while I still consider it to be less polished than it should, there are people who find it useful already.
- Tweak setup.py to get a sane page at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gtimelog/
- Entries with *** are skipped from reports (bug 209750)
- Help -> Online Documentation opens a browser with some help (bug 209754)
- View -> Tasks allows you to hide the Tasks pane (bug 220773)
- Reorganize the source tree properly.
- Bump intermediate revision number to celebrate.
- First setuptools-based release (easy_install gtimelog now works).
