Release

This minor update adds a Brazilian Portuguese translation, thanks to Claudio Ferreira Filh.

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.

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.

Finally, Workrave 1.4.0 is out. The most interesting changes in this version include: exercises, new translations (Polish, Danish and Spanish), multi-head support, support for disabling breaks, the content of the status window has been made configurable, improved (flickerfree) blocking mechanism on Windows.
