Some possibly important information
Go For It! now no longer (directly) uses key files to store its settings. GLib.Settings is now used for this purpose (of which the default backend is often DConf). I'm not aware of any project that reads or modifies the old configuration files of Go For It!, so I don't expect this to cause any issues. Old settings still get imported into the new version, of course.
The .desktop files, appstream metadata and icon names are now always based on the application ID (com.github.jmoerman.go-for-it by default). This means that if -DAPP_SYSTEM_NAME="something" was previously used to compile Go For It! you may notice that pinned desktop shortcuts to Go For It! may disappear after upgrading. Go For It! previously used libnotify to send notifications and compensated for cases where the desktop file did not match the application ID by supplying the name of the .desktop file as desktop-entry hint. GLib's notification API does not appear to have an option to do something similar.
Go For It! is now split in a library and an application part (with nearly all code in the library part) so make sure that CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBDIR is in your library path. Supplying -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr as cmake argument will work in most cases.
Implemented enhancements
- It is now possible to manually select todo.txt files for the task lists instead of selecting the folder to store those in. It is now also no longer necessary to have a separate todo.txt file for archiving completed tasks.
- For each list, it is now possible to select a CSV file to log your activity to.
- When logging activity to a new CSV file a header describing the column contents is added.
- Go For It! can now play a sound when it is time to take a break or when it is time to start working again.
- Go For It! now supports plugins. The plugins that are currently available are 2 plugins to show the remaining time, one for panels supporting Ayatana appindicators and another for docks/launchers supporting the LauncherEntry API. The plugin API is currently fairly limited and subject to change.
- Go For It! can now use the Granite framework as an optional build-time dependency. The main advantage is that, on elementary OS 6, this will allow Go For It! to follow the global dark style setting.
- Most tooltips now include the shortcut alternative to clicking the widget.
- The option to select an application stylesheet has been removed. The automatically selected stylesheet should work for all reasonable Gtk+ 3.0 themes (Raleigh and win32 are examples of broken stylesheets).
- The layout of the settings dialogs has been improved.
- Tasks rows are now vertically aligned using the baselines of the widgets.
- Moving tasks around using drag-and-drop now looks better. The point at which the task would be inserted is now shown by reserving space for that task instead of just showing a stripe between the 2 rows where it would get inserted.
Fixed bugs
- Popovers now use the same margins as GNOME apps unless the Granite dependency is used.
- Some popover styling issues that occurred when using one of the io.elementary.stylesheet.* Gtk themes have been fixed.
- CSV output is no longer separated by both a comma and space, but just by commas.
- The menu entries for sorting tasks or clearing the list of completed tasks is now only shown if a task list is shown.
