Changelog

0.12.1 (unreleased)

  • You can now back-date new log items using a single-digit hour, e.g. "9:30 morning meeting" (GH: #254).
  • The hidden history completion feature (PageUp/PageDown) ignores time correction prefix when looking up past entries, so you can do things like type "9:30 st", press PageUp and complete that to "9:30 started working".

0.12.0 (2024-04-03)

  • This version talks to an SMTP server instead of relying on /usr/sbin/sendmail for email sending. This should work even in flatpaks.
  • New command line options: --prefs, --email-prefs.
  • Use libsecret instead of gnome-keyring.

  • Drop Python 3.4 support.

0.11.2 (2018-11-03)

  • Window menu now includes items previously shown only in the app menu: Preferences, About (GH: #126).
  • Keyboard shortcuts window (press Ctrl+Shift+?).
  • Dropped the help page (there was only one and it was only listing keyboard shortcuts, and it was also incomplete and had no translations).
  • Bugfix: if timelog.txt was a symlink, changes to the symlink target would not get noticed automatically (GH: #128).

0.11.1 (2018-07-18)

  • 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 uncategorised (GH: #117).
  • Add Python 3.7 support.
  • Drop Python 3.3 support.

0.11 (2017-12-16)

  • A complete rewrite of the user interface, to better fit GNOME 3 (GH: #31). Requires GTK+ 3.10, but newer versions are better.
  • History browsing can show you weeks/months, not just days.
  • You can filter the displayed tasks, with a total shown at the bottom (GH: #88).
  • There's now a preferences dialog (GH: #47).
  • Window size and task pane size/visibility are remembered across restarts (GH: #30).
  • Settings are stored in GSettings. The old config file will be imported on first startup.
  • Work hours and office hours are separate settings now (GH: #46).
  • Native support for emailing reports. Requires a configured MTA on the local machine (i.e. /usr/sbin/sendmail).

    • "Work/slacking stats in spreadsheet" is gone.
    • Setting for editor is gone: the default file association for text files will be used.
    • Settings for mailer is gone: mail sending is internal now.
    • Setting for spreadsheet is gone.
    • Separate setting to show remaining office hours is gone (set office hours to 0 to hide the estimate).

0.10.0 (2015-09-29)

  • Use Tango colors in the main text buffer (GH: #13).
  • Allow tagging entries (GH: #19)
    • The syntax is category: text -- tag1 tag2
    • Per-tag summaries show up in reports
  • Use GtkApplication instead of own DBus server for enforcing single-instance.
    • Drop --replace, --ignore-dbus command-line options because of this.
    • Require glib and gio to be version 2.40 or newer for sane GtkApplication-based command line parsing (check with pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0 gio-2.0).
  • Remove obsolete code:
    • Drop support for Python 2.6 (PyGObject dropped support for it long ago).
    • Drop PyGtk/Gtk+ 2 support code (it didn't work since 0.9.1 anyway).
    • Drop EggTrayIcon support (it was for Gtk+ 2 only anyway).
    • Drop the --prefer-pygtk command-line option.
  • Disable tray icon by default for new users (existing gtimelogrc files will be untouched).
  • Improve tray icon selection logic for best contrast (GH: #29).

0.9.3 (2015-09-29)

  • Adding new entries didn't update total weekly numbers (GH: #28).

0.9.2 (2014-09-28)

  • 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).
  • Fix setup.py to work on Python 3 when your locale is not UTF-8 (LP: #1263772).
  • Fix two Gtk-CRITICAL warnings on startup (GH: #14).

0.9.1 (2013-12-23)

  • Manual pages for gtimelog(1) and gtimelogrc(5).

0.9.0 (2013-12-04)

  • New custom date range report by Rohan Mitchell.
  • 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.

0.8.1 (2013-02-10)

  • Fix strftime problem on Windows (LP: #1096489).
  • Fix gtimelog.desktop validation (LP: #1051226).
  • Use gtimelog icon instead of gnome-week.png.
  • Use XDG Base Directory Specification for config and data files (~/.config/gtimelog and ~/.local/share/gtimelog). There's no automatic migration: if ~/.gtimelog exists, it will continue to be used.
  • Fix Unicode errors when user's name is non-ASCII (LP: #1117109).
  • Dropped Python 2.6 support (by accident).

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).

0.6.1 (2011-09-20)

  • Fix two crashes when using GI. Given by Martin Pitt.

0.6.0 (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. 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).

0.5.0 (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 <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).

0.4.0 (2010-09-03)

  • 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)

0.3.2 (2010-07-22)

  • 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

0.3.1 (2009-12-18)

  • Fixed broken sdist (by adding MANIFEST.in, since setuptools doesn't understand bzr by default).
  • Added Makefile for convenience (make distcheck, make release).

0.3 (2009-12-17)

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.

0.2.5

  • Don't open a console window on Windows.
  • Moved the primary GTimeLog source repository to Bazaar hosted on Launchpad.

0.2.4

0.2.3

  • 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.

0.2.2

0.2.1

  • 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)

0.2.0

  • Reorganize the source tree properly.
  • Bump intermediate revision number to celebrate.

0.0.85

  • First setuptools-based release (easy_install gtimelog now works).
