v0.10.0 Release Candidate

v0.10.0 (XX February 2025)

This version brings Flowkeeper even closer to the original Pomodoro Technique definition from Francesco Cirillo's book. Pomodoro interruptions are now handled as the book prescribes, and we introduced support for long breaks. One major deviation from the Technique we introduced in this version is the ability to track unfocused time. Finally, there are some minor quality-of-life improvements, bugfixes and better support for Linux.

• Ability to track unfocused time, try to start a work item with no pomodoros (#94).
• Ability to drag work items between backlogs (#60).
• Voided pomodoros are displayed as ticks to better match the Book (#92).
• Flowkeeper window now hides automatically on auto-start (#102).
