Workrave 1.4.1

Description
===========

Workrave is a program that assists in the recovery and prevention of
repetitive strain injury (RSI). The program frequently alerts you to take
micro-pauses and rest breaks, and restricts you to your daily limit. It
currently runs on GNU/Linux and Windows.

Enhancements
============

- Replaced the "Block input" setting (which was available per break)
by a global "Block mode" setting, located in the GUI preferences. The
available block modes are "None" (NEW: no input is blocked and break
windows have a title bar and can be dragged), "Block input" (blocks
input, break windows are fixed), "Block all" (NEW: blocks input and
display).

- The Windows installer now offers the option to install Workrave
using the standalone Dropline GTK+ runtime. For more information, see
http://www.dropline.net/gtk/.

- Removed the "Force break after maximum preludes" option. It is now
on by default.

- Some strings in the German translation were too long, fixed.

- Added multihead support for Windows.

- Improved suspend (to ram) support. Workrave now assumes that you
are idle while suspended instead of assuming that no time passes.

- Improved multihead support. The status window is now automatically
relocated when the monitor on which it is displayed is removed. It
moved back to its original location when the monitor returns.

- Exercises navigation can now be used without causing Workrave to
remove the break window and show the warning windows again.

- If supported by your system, the daily limit window includes a
"Shut down" button.

- There now is a "Lock" button on the rest break, so that you can
safely lock your display while you are taking breaks. If the daily
limit window does not include the "Shut down" button, it includes the
"Lock" button instead.
