• Show more options in Edit Activities ticket combo.

TimeCollect 0.7.2

• Check schema version to decide about upgrade.
• Automatically set up / check DB upon startup.
• Added description column to the activity table to provide detailed decriptions (besides ticket references).

• Bugfix: No collection data available immediately after application startup.
• Bugfix: Update thread did not send collection data events causing the tooltip not to refresh.
• Bugfix: Toggling the active state to inactive did not use the collect granularity. Turning on a hibernated machine and immediately stopping active collection would have marked the entire sleep period as active.

TimeCollect 0.6.1

• Bugfix: Updater was not started, if program starts in active mode.
• Bugfix: Wrong selection constraints for activity data.
• Ticket #8: Added regression test for the application tooltip.

TimeCollect 0.6.1

• Bugfix: Search for javaw.exe during installation in case it was not installed to the Windows system folder.

• Ticket #6: Created a basic NSIS installer for Windows.
• Bugfix: Do not cleanup JIntellitype from within a VM shutdown hook but explicitly at the time the main thread terminates. Otherwise, the VM does not cleanly shut down because JIntellitype internally uses a non-daemon thread to dispatch signals from the Windows event queue to the Java application.

TimeCollect 0.5.4 and before

• Ticket #2: Added JIntellitype to use native hotkey registration in Windows.
• Ticket #2: Added remote control scripts for Unix.

• Bugfix: Wrong table name in statement loading explicitly selected tickets.
• Enhanced error reporting by using consequently DBException in the DB layer.

• Usability: Provide error feedback to the user.
• Safety: React graceful in case of inconsistency of DB and client in case the uptime is resumed but there is already an active row in the database.
• Bugfix: After standby, active row was not closed. This resulted in a bunch of inserts for each interval.
• Allow configuration of collection intervals.
• Bugfix: Do not terminate watcher, if DB access temporarily fails.
• Try smaller tray image to prevent Windows 7 from scaling down.
