Time Out 2.6
(Release 2050): released 2019-08-07; requires macOS 10.10 or later; Catalina compatible
Fixed-time breaks
Added a From pop-up menu to the Break Schedule page. It includes options for Last Due, Last Done, and Fixed Time.
Last Due is what previously happened, and the default.
Last Done will reset the break after it is completed, so the next break will occur the frequency interval after that. For example, a 10 minute break every 30 minutes will next occur 30 minutes after the break finishes, instead of 30 minutes after it starts (as with the Last Due option).
Fixed Time will display a field to enter the number of minutes past the hour (0 — 59), and will start the break at that time, or some multiple if the frequency is less than an hour. For example, setting it to 50 for an hourly break will start the break at 09:50, 10:50, 11:50, etc. Or setting it to 15 for a break every 30 minutes will start it at 09:15, 09:45, 10:15, 10:45, etc (you may need to also use the Available option to set a start time in this situation).
The latter two are new rewards for current or future supporters; others can try them for an hour at a time.
Break Schedule now supports smaller duration and frequency
Can now configure a break to last zero seconds, to avoid showing the control panel at all.
When the duration is zero, the Appearance page is disabled, since it doesn't apply. Use Actions like Flash Screen or Display Notification instead.
Can also now use seconds as a frequency unit, i.e. have the break occur as often as once per second, if desired (though not recommended!).
Both options can be useful for a 10 second blink reminder that just flashes the screen.
Other changes
Added the Random Word theme, contributed by Michelle Lim.
The Activity dates are now in the correct order, instead of sometimes jumbled up.
Fixed row heights sometimes being wrong in the status popover.
Postponing and skipping a break via the Options pop-up menu are now counted with the postpone/skip/done counts.
Opening Time Out will now always show the Preferences window, unless it's within five minutes of restarting (to avoid showing it when automatically launched on startup).
Improved handling of in-app purchases that require approval.
Improved handling of restoring purchases for names with Cyrillic characters.
Improved the error message when purchasing is unavailable.
