- When manually editing timer, total time was not updated instantly.

from inside the settings dialog. (Thanks to Adam Conway for this)

Kudos to [Lee Houghton](https://github.com/asztal)
for making this PR.
- UI now handles Windows' zoom settings much better.
- Timers and settings are now saved continously instead of only
at program exit. So no data loss if you get power-outs or PC crash.
- Issue dropdown box will now retrieve up to 200 issues, instead of
the API-default of 50.
Bugfixes:
- Fixed random startup crashes.
- If issue keys are very long, they could be cropped in the dropdown
box. This has been fixed, so the key column width adapts to the
widest key.
1.7.0 2016-06-25 New features/improvements:
- Edit timer is now always enabled - you edit by double-clicking
the time field.
- StopWatch now only runs single instance - it detects at startup
if another instance is running, and brings it into focus.
- New icon that is visible on dark Windows 10 taskbar theme.
- Timers now also support days - eg. 2d 13h 34m
Bugfixes:
- After version 1.6.1 the Jira session might timeout. If this
happens, StopWatch will now automatically re-authenticate and
retry the requests.
- When you activate many timers, the StopWatch window might be
too big for the screen. Now the window will not be higher than
desktop size, and instead a scrollbar gives access to the
remaining issues.
- Minimize to tray sometimes did not show the system tray icon.
- Dropdown box with issue list only updated the description below
when leaving the field. Now it happens on selection + on
if you manually write a key.
- Requests to Jira API did not work, if the issue key had leading
spaces eg. " OPS-14". This has been fixed.
1.6.1 2016-04-18 Changed filter- and issue-loading from Jira API, to only happen
when comboboxes are opened, instead of every 30 seconds as before.
1.6.0 2016-04-09 New features:
- Allow multiple timers to run at the same time
- Choose if worklog text should be posted on worklog track or
comment track
- Display total time in bottom of window
Bugfixes:
- Issue description was not updated when manually typing an
issue key or deleting a key
- notifyIcon is not available on Mono, so on non-Windows
platforms, disable all minimze-to-tray code
- Fixed thread UI issue
Remade project structure to make crossplatform building easier
Refactoring of internal Jira communication (including NUnit
test-coverage)
1.5.0 2016-02-07 Option for pausing timer when locking your PC
(eg. for lunch breaks)
Application can now be minimized to the system tray
Several bugfixes - for details see the commit history
1.4.1 2016-01-02 Added About dialog
1.4.0 2015-12-25 Worklog comments can now be saved without posting to Jira immediately. Useful
if your task takes a long time and you want to note down your progress while
waiting to submit the worklog until the end.
New option to enable timers to be editable. Useful if you forgot to start the
timer when starting work. Times can be entered both Jira style like 1h 15m and
the "classic" way like 1.25h.
Thanks goes to [Seth Feldkamp](https://github.com/sfeldkamp) for the ideas to
both features and for testing.
