release

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.

The Window version now has a native look and feel, so Workrave no longer looks like a second grade application when running on Windows. Furthermore, support for Gnome session management was improved: Workrave is now properly restarted by the Gnome session manager. Finally, the overall user interface has improved, addressing most HIG issues.

The most important new features in this version are statistics and Gnome/KDE applet support. Workrave now keeps track of all your activity and allows you to browse through any date in history to see for how long you used the computer, how many keys you pressed, the distance your mouse moved, and many other statistical data. Furthermore, when running Workrave on Gnome or KDE, the break information can be displayed itself in the panel.

After extensive testing we finally present our first production release.
