A bug was introduced in version 1.6.0 which could cause the status window to disappear.

The Windows version of Workrave now includes a taskbar applet version of the status window. Timers can be configured to ignore activity. Improved full-screen “Block all” mode. Chinese, Russian and French translations have been added.

Started working on a version of the status window that can be embedded in your Windows taskbar.

The most notable changes in this release are: added a new option “Block mode” ranging from no blocking (break windows can be freely dragged around) to full input and screen blocking, added multihead support for Windows, improved suspend (to ram) support, added “Shut down” and “Lock” buttons to the break windows. Furthermore, the stability on Windows improved considerably now that several longstanding issues have been resolved.

We have set up a nightly build system. Currently, it builds a Debian package, source tarball, and a Windows installer version.
