<p align="left">
Time tracking can now be turned off independently of focusing. Time tracking has
always been optional and private since it required task activation and stored
all tracking information in the workspace.
But it was not previously possible to use focusing without active time being captured. Note that
the preference is off by default, since Mylyn makes all activity tracking and
automation opt-in.</p>
