Note to users of 1.9.0-pre1

Jira StopWatch 1.8.0

New features/improvement:

• When submitting worklog, StartTime will also be set. The value will be equal to "now minus logged work-time". Kudos to Lee Houghton for making this PR.
• UI now handles Windows' zoom settings much better.
• Timers and settings are now saved continously instead of only at program exit. So no data loss if you get power-outs or PC crash.
• Issue dropdown box will now retrieve up to 200 issues, instead of the API-default of 50.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed random startup crashes.
• If issue keys are very long, they could be cropped in the dropdown box. This has been fixed, so the key column width adapts to the widest key.

Jira StopWatch 1.7.0

Important feature change

Edit timer is now always enabled. Instead of enabling/disabling this option, you now edit the timer by double-clicking the time field.

Other new features/improvement

• StopWatch now only runs single instance - it detects at startup if another instance is running, and brings it into focus.
• New icon that is visible on dark Windows 10 taskbar theme.
• Timers now also support days - eg. 2d 13h 34m

Bugfixes:

• After version 1.6.1 the Jira session might timeout. If this happens, StopWatch will now automatically re-authenticate and retry the requests.
• When you activate many timers, the StopWatch window might be too big for the screen. Now the window will not be higher than desktop size, and instead a scrollbar gives access to the remaining issues.
• Minimize to tray sometimes did not show the system tray icon.
• Dropdown box with issue list only updated the description below when leaving the field. Now it happens on selection + on if you manually write a key.
• Requests to Jira API did not work, if the issue key had leading spaces eg. " OPS-14". This has been fixed.

Jira Stopwatch 1.6.1

Important improvement:

Previous versions of Jira StopWatch fetches the filter-list and issue-list once every 30 seconds. It came to my attention, that this could overload the Jira servers with many people using StopWatch.

From this version forward, both the filter-list and issue-list will only be fetched on-demand, ie. when the dropdown boxes are actually opened.

Jira Stopwatch 1.6.0

New features:

• Allow multiple timers to run at the same time
• Choose if worklog text should be posted on worklog track or comment track
• Display total time in bottom of window

Bugfixes:

• Issue description was not updated when manually typing an issue key or deleting a key
• notifyIcon is not available on Mono, so on non-Windows platforms, disable all minimze-to-tray code
• Fixed thread UI issue

Remade project structure to make crossplatform building easier

Refactoring of internal Jira communication (including NUnit test-coverage)

Note: This version might ask you to reconfigure your settings and login credentials, due to different installation folder. It will not happen in subsequent releases.
