Gnome-schedule 1.2.1

["Gaute Hope" <eg gaute vetsj com>]

- Release Gnome Schedule 1.2.1 -

It is time for the (most likely) last release in the 1.x series of
gnome-schedule (more information under), there are fairly few updates
since the recent 1.2.0 release, but although it was meant as a last
translation update I some significant bugs have been fixed (summary of
changelog under).

Also worth mentioning is that it soon will be 2.0.0 release, but it
still needs some more testing. If you are interested in helping to
test it out or just want to try it feel free to send me a note.

Other than that it is not much to say about this one. Happy scheduling!

- Describtion -

provide an easy way to schedule tasks on your computer. It supports
recurrent (periodical) tasks and tasks that happen only once in the
future. It is written in Python using pygtk, and has been developed,
tested and packaged for various Linux distributions.

with for instance a Linux distribution or an anti-virus program

hour" instead of "0 * * * *"
