1.9.5 (2021-10-07)
Implemented enhancements:
- The spacing between tasks has been increased to improve how the application looks on elementary OS 6.
- Depending on the Gtk theme, task checkboxes and descriptions may be aligned better.
- Made the parsing of timer and duration values more robust. For example:
timer:5m
will now also be parsed as a timer value, while previously onlytimer:0h-5m-0s
would be accepted. - The Portuguese translations have been updated.
- Now only
.txt
files are shown when selecting a file to store tasks in, by default.
Fixed bugs:
- Changing the location of todo.txt files should now actually be possible.
Other changes:
- By default, GoForIt! now stores uncompleted and completed tasks in the same file. (After picking a location to store
todo.txt
in GoForIt! will no longer automatically set the file to store completed tasks to adone.txt
file in the same directory.) This change allows GoForIt! to work properly without full access to the home directory.
1.9.4 (2021-09-15)
Go For It! has been renamed to GoForIt!
Searching for Go For It! generally doesn't yield usable results. For example, AppStream tools remove common words and as go
, for
, and it
are all common words when searching for go for it
the entire search string gets discarded.
Though it probably still isn't a great name, GoForIt! doesn't have this issue.
Implemented enhancements:
- Update various translations (Hebrew, Persian, Portuguese, Spanish).
Fixed bugs:
- A few widgets wouldn't be freed after closing the settings dialog.
1.9.3 (2021-08-20)
Implemented enhancements:
- Update various translations (Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Esperanto, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Swedish, Turkish, Urdu).
1.9.2 (2021-03-08)
Implemented enhancements:
- Added a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Q) to close the application.
Fixed bugs:
- Go For It! would give an error when trying to save a todo.txt list on an SMB share. Go For It! still won't let you pick such a file as it cannot mount SMB shares itself.
1.9.1 (2021-02-22)
Implemented enhancements:
- For each list, You can now select wether you would like to log creation dates to the todo.txt files.
- It should now be easier to edit list properties for touchscreen users.
Fixed bugs:
- At startup the "return to list" (->) button could use the wrong icon, depending on the icon theme.
- The menu button would be blurry on Adwaita.
1.9.0 (2020-12-09)
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 configuation 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.
1.8.7 (2020-11-22)
Implemented enhancements:
- The default application stylesheet is now by default determined at runtime. The minimal "Inherit from GTK theme" stylesheet will now be used when a theme other than Adwaita or elementary is used.
- A large number of translations have been updated. New translations include Danish and Hebrew.
Fixed bugs:
- The placeholder tasks shown when creating a new list for the first time are no longer invisible.
1.8.6 (2020-10-07)
Implemented enhancements:
- The option to pick themes is no longer shown when using the elementary Gtk3 theme as the "Inherit from GTK theme" application theme doesn't look right in combination with this.
- Arabic translations have been updated.
1.8.4 (2020-10-04)
Fixed bugs:
- The shortcuts for moving tasks up or down now work correctly.
Implemented enhancements:
- A symbolic icon variant has been added for both the logo and the checkmark icons.
- Various translations have been updated (Arabic, Croatian, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian Bokmål, Slovak, Turkish). (Most of the changes will not apply to this version, however.)
1.8.3 (2020-09-26)
Fixed bugs:
- Fixed an issue that would cause Go For It! to crash when clearing the description of a task.
- Fixed several minor memory leaks.
1.8.2 (2020-09-20)
Implemented enhancements:
- When switching to list overview, the previously shown list will now be selected.
- Various translations have been updated (Croatian, French, German, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Turkish).
1.8.1 (2020-07-20)
Fixed bugs:
- The command line help now correctly shows
--load LIST-TYPE LIST-ID
instead of--load=LIST-TYPE LIST-ID
. - The active task did not properly refresh when pausing the timer after switching lists and interacting with the to-do list.
Implemented enhancements:
- When using
--logfile=~/something
:~
is now expanded. - The translations for Central Kurdish, Lithuanian and Portuguese (Brazil) have been updated.
1.8.0 (2020-06-27)
Implemented enhancements:
- Introduces configurable shortcuts.
- A custom drag handle icon is now used instead of the "view-list" icon.
- Introduces an option to log the time spent working on a task (using the timer) to the todo.txt files.
- Go For It! now highlights the task you are currently working on with ⏰.
- Changing the system clock or suspending your system will no longer affect the timer.
- It is now possible to tell Go For It! how long a task should take by adding
duration:Xh-Ym
to the description of a task. (Where X and Y are the number of hours and minutes respectively. For a five minute task one would need to addduration:5m
.) Go For It! will notify you when you exceed this duration. (Do not forget to enable timer logging so Go For It! will know how much time you have spent working on a task after closing the application!) - Not every break (or time between breaks) has to be of the same length: You can now use Go For It! as a pomodoro timer or use a custom timer schedule.
- Added an option to add new tasks at the start of each list instead of appending them to the end.
- Added
--list
and--load <id>
arguments to show the configured lists and load a specified list respectively. - Experimental: It is now possible to log your activities to a csv file by starting Go For It! with
--logfile <filename>
. - Many translations were updated.
