EventWatcher

EventWatcher is a KDE application which notifies you
about various events.
"Events" are pieces of information about, for example,
news ticker or blog updates, new emails, user logons,
system warnings, hardware events etc.
They get collected by EventWatcher plugins and sent
to the main application which lives in the KDE system
tray for most of the time and displays this information.

Available plugins:
- DCOP: Receives "events" via KDE's desktop communication protocol, for example from other KDE applications or scripts.
- Log File Monitor: Reports changes in log files.
- RSS Feed Monitor: Watches RSS feeds provided by many news sites and blogs.

- Event expiring:
- Remove events based on the time they were received
- Configuable behaviour: Expire agetime, Expire only unread events, Auto-expire
- KNotify support (Patch by Paul Eggleton)
- Hide plusminus button when list is empty.

0.4.2
- Added keep button to events
- DCOP plugin registers without a PID
- Log plugin includes log filename in title to help grouping

0.4.1
- The delete button for each event is back - optional, enabled by default.
- Url drag support for event action buttons.
- Option for a more compact event view: "action" buttons can also be placed
alongside the event text in form of a launch icon.
- Slightly improved event view scrolling performance for large event items.
- added EventWatcher 0.4.1 Debian SID package by Sergio Rodriguez.

0.4
- Big UI improvement:
� A new event view which makes it much easier to
manage events.
� Similar events (same icon and title) are now grouped together by
default. The old, ungrouped, mode is still supported.
- API addidtion for a short text to be displayed in the popup. Also
affects the DCOP event interface.
- Some work on the popup:
� Now displays the number of new events (since the last popup announcement)
instead of just the number of all "old new" events. ;)
� Remove the close button and make the popup close on clicks on
empty areas.
� Add an optional label which displays a short description of new events.
� Can be disabled in the settings dialog.
- Small change of the event history file format (which will make old
loaded events forget the title...).
- Ported the RSS plugin to use KDE 3.2's dcop rssservice as backend instead
of librss directly.
- Many minor changes...

0.3
- Patch by Teemu Rytilahti <teemu.rytilahti@kde-fi.org>:
� Use local8Bit() in the event view. Might solve umlaut problems for
some users...
� Don't quit the entire app by clicking the main window's close
button; minimize to system tray instead.
� Don't create popups if the main window is visible.
- Overlay the number of unread events over the system tray icon.
- plugin API
� Added a (very) basic API documentation.
� Small plugin API addition.
- RSS plugin:
� Changed the way how feed information is stored in the configuration
file. Old Settings will get lost.
� Added some default news feeds.
- Added a plugin for monitoring log files.
0.2.1
- Compile fix.
0.2
- (Hopefully) fixed some compiling problems (link to the right qt
library, .ui file fix).
- System tray icon can now indicate if there are new events or not.
- Events are now displayed in the main window (the pop-up now only
shows up to announce that there are new events).
