Jobber 1.3.0 will have several important new features, and you are encouraged to try them out in the new preview release: https://github.com/dshearer/jobber/releases/tag/v1.3.0-pr.1

If you find any problems, please feel free to open an issue on GitHub.

Enhancements:
- User can have job run history written to an arbitrary file
- If user chooses to have run history written to a file, then that history will be preserved across restarts of the Jobber service
- Jobs can now be run at random times
- Jobs can be configured to run an arbitrary program when they succeed
- User can control where error/troubleshooting log msgs from Jobber are written
- 'jobber list' reports timezone of time in 'next run time' column
- There is a new command 'jobber init' that makes a jobfile with helpful comments
- There is a new config file /etc/jobber.conf that lets root control which users can use Jobber
- When user doesn't own jobfile, jobber clearly reports that fact to explain why it didn't load any jobs
- Jobber will not (try to) work for users whose home dir paths are '/dev/null'

Bugfixes:
- Fixed issue where daemon would eventually run out of memory
- Fixed issue where 'jobber -v' would not print version.
