🌟 Highlights

This release lets you choose what the console does when play time runs out, and makes the play timer and the history easier to read.

• ⏰ When time is up:
  Choose what the console does when the play-time limit is reached.

• ⏱️ Play timer:
  The time played beyond the limit is now shown, and a block in the same-every-day mode now follows its daily rule.

• 📋 History:
  Clearer lines, with the day a limit changed, "today" and "yesterday", and a name for entries of an unknown kind.

• ✨ What's new:
  The release highlights now come with icons, and the full changelog is a press away.

• 🐛 Dialogs:
  Text always wraps inside the dialog.
