Caffeine 2.8 released
Written for Caffeine by Reuben Thomas on 2015-01-16
This release restores widely-missed functionality removed in Caffeine 2.7: namely the ability to inhibit desktop idleness manually, (via the new caffeine-indicator) and the ability to inhibit desktop idleness for the duration of a particular command (via the new command 'caffeinate'). It should also work in most desktop environments again (Caffeine 2.7 worked in only a few).
Caffeine 2.7 released
Written for Caffeine by Reuben Thomas on 2014-05-19
This release removes the user interface and manual operation, and reduces resource consumption by not using external programs. Caffeine is now fully automatic: when the active window is full screen, Caffeine inhibits desktop idleness (and thereby disables the screen saver and/or screen sleep).
Caffeine 2.6 released

This release switches from monitoring apps to monitoring the display's full-screen status, which is simpler and uses less resources.
Caffeine 2.5 released
Written for Caffeine by Reuben Thomas on 2013-12-10
I'm delighted to announce the first release of Caffeine for over 2 years. Many bugs are fixed, and the application is now much simpler. Unfortunately, Flash video support is gone, as it was too complicated to keep it working. It had been broken for some years.
