• Idle detection didn't work for a few people, so now tries a different approach if the idle interval appears invalid (let us know if it doesn't work for you!).

• The break timers are now reset when idle for the specified interval, even while still idle (it used to only reset when no longer idle).
• Breaks can now occur when idle, to avoid missing breaks when the computer is left alone for a few minutes, but less than the reset interval.
• Updated the Start Speech Automator workflow, and added a Speak Time script that does just that.

Fixed a bug that could prevent the breaks and/or menu items from working properly for some people.

• Added a new Exclusions preference page, which is only available on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). It enables you to automatically skip breaks if specified applications are frontmost, e.g. DVD Player, FaceTime, or similar.
• Added a sub-menu on the Pause Breaks command in the Break menu, to enable pausing for a specified interval. When that interval has elapsed, breaks will automatically resume. Useful when you don't want to be interrupted for a while.
• On first launch (or first in a while), Time Out now displays the Preferences window, to make it more obvious how to configure the breaks.
• Added a Licenses window in the standard edition, so people who have donated for version 2 can enter their license now. Time Out 1 remains freeware; you're welcome to continue using it forever at no cost.
• Moved the break display into a helper agent, so it works for Lion's full-screen apps.
• Plus other fixes for Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) compatibility.
• The standard edition of Time Out now requires a minimum of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
• Many other behind-the-scenes improvements made possible by dropping Tiger support.
• Note: this version (and any 1.6.x bug fix releases) will be the last to support PowerPC (PPC) and Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 (Leopard and Snow Leopard). Version 2.0 will require a 64-bit Intel-based Mac and Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or later.

Changes to be compatible with the Mac App Store.

• The break screen now isn't hidden if the Time Out application is hidden.

• Enhanced Snow Leopard compatibility.

• Replaced the use of an undocumented routine to check the idle time with an approved one, to fix compatibility with Snow Leopard.
• Updated the bundled Adium scripts to support the current versions of the Adium instant messaging client, thanks to Nic Munroe. Note: if you used a previous version of Time Out, the scripts won't be replaced, in case you've customized them. You can download the updated scripts from the Time Out Extras site.
• Fixed an issue with the Preferences window, where edits might not be saved when quitting with the window still open (specifically when an edit is still active).
• Removed the old crash reporter, since it doesn't support Leopard crash logs.
• Now requires a minimum of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

• Improved the idle detection when the computer was sleeping.
• Added a hidden preference to output debug information about scheduling and idle detection to the Console log. It can be activated by entering "defaults write com.dejal.timeout DebugScheduler YES" in Terminal. You shouldn't turn this on unless you think Time Out isn't working properly, as it outputs quite a lot of information.
• Fixed a cosmetic bug with the Check for Updates feature when using a general release and wanting only general releases, and a beta release is available.

• Added support for Spaces in Leopard; the break now appears on all Spaces, even if you switch Spaces mid-break.
• Enhanced the URLs for the Help menu to better support localization.
• Switched the distribution method to ZIP archives instead of disk images, as it's simpler for everyone. Feedback welcome!

• Introduced a much nicer application icon, professionally designed by Emily Pfeifer.
• Rearranged the break contents: the progress bar and buttons are now in a box, and the icon is bigger... and prettier. :)
• Added options to the Appearance page to individually show or hide the Postpone and Skip buttons, and to change the number of minutes for the two Postpone ones.
• Added direct support for running Python scripts.
• Fixed some issues with scheduling breaks after postponing.
• The Dejal logo was also redesigned by Emily Pfeifer, so all places it occurred have been updated.
• Renamed the application to remove the exclamation point.
• Added improved exception logging, to help with diagnosing any future issues.
• Added the Dejal Blog and Forums to Help menu.
• Fixed an error that a few people experienced when checking for updates.
• Minor tweaks for Leopard (10.5) compatibility.
