The latest release of Time Out is version 2.9.7.

• If you click a break button (or elsewhere during a break), making Time Out! the active application, the previous application will now be restored after the break.
• Reimplemented the Preferences window to simplify it. Removed the "Show All", "Prev" and "Next" buttons, plus the "Show All" page. Also rearranged the page layout to move the Help button to the right, to conform with Apple's conventions. Plus many behind-the-scenes improvements.
• Added Notify preferences, allowing playing a sound or music at the end of the breaks. This is useful to allow you to close your eyes or move away from the computer during the break. Several sounds are provided built-in, plus the system sounds are available, and you can choose any other sound or music file.
• Merged the Special preference page into the General one.
• Added a field to the General preferences next to the idle slider, to allow entering a precise number of minutes instead of using the slider (or view the number when dragging).
• Enhanced the Updates feature to tell you about a beta release if you check for updates manually when you prefer general releases and there isn't a new one, but there is a beta available.
• Fixed a bug with the Updates feature where it might not handle general candidate releases correctly.
• Renamed the "Restore Factory Settings" buttons on the Preferences pages to simply "Restore Defaults".
• Fixed the help button URLs for the Normal, Micro, and Notify preference pages.
• Fixed a memory leak.
• Updated the crash reporter framework to the latest version. It now includes fields to allow providing your name and email address.
• Updated the online User Guide.
• Built as a Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel architectures.
