+A simple Clock face to know the time of the day, and eventually learn how to read it.
+
+20080129 1.0 - Initial creation of the Basic Clock.
+ - 3 display modes: simple, with hours ticks and date, nice clock face.
+
+20080321 2.0 - Added a digital clock with two views: basic and complete.
+ - Support context in gettext with custom function pgettext().
+ - Changed fonts as they could not display some characters in Portuguese. Use Pango to layout text now.
+ - Added a color code to help learning time. Made clock hands a bit wider too.
+ - A few bugs solved and made code more complex to read!
+
+20080923 3.0 - Added license information required by the new 8.2 activity bundle format.
+
+20080925 4.0 - When the activity is not active, we don't update the clock to save CPU resources.
+
+20081022 5.0 - Refactoring of the code: cairo drawing has been removed and we use Gdk now. The big drawing method has been splitted in small and easy to understand methods.
+ - Display the date and weekday combined out of the clock face.
+ - Use XO approved colors for better contrast.
+ - New toolbar instead of the hidden right button. Only 3 display modes have been kept for the clock faces: simple, nice and digital.
+ - New activity icon.
+ - Write the current time in full letters, with the same colors code for the clock hands.
+ - Inference engine to translate a numeric time to letters. Three set of localized rules, for English, French and Spanish have been provided as model for translatorsand procedures to test them.
+ - Speak aloud the current time through espeak TTS.
+ - Most methods are now private.
