Beta 1.5

Beta 1.5 (v1.5.0, commit ae561f4). Self-contained single exe for Windows 10 1809+ / 11. SmartScreen warning expected until signing/reputation (see SCOPE). Replaces unreleased 1.4.1 and deleted 1.4.2 prerelease - all fixes below in one exe.

Fixes:

• Popup lands in the right corner on 125%/150% text scaling even when the focused game reports its own DPI (#26)
• Match-Windows previews now follow the PC: light PC shows white previews, and they flip within a second if Windows switches while Settings is open (#27)
• White popups and previews get a faint edge so the box is visible over white windows and the white Settings page (#27)
• Box opacity at 100% is now fully solid with no background bleeding through; lower values look exactly as before (#28)
• Preview tab now reads your live edits - wording, minutes, align and timeouts match the real Test popup without needing Save first; blank main shows the time string (#29)
• Fresh-install Save with no edits no longer changes Game 30/Display 10/GPU 10; corrupt settings recovery keeps the built-in Ignore list; old LauncherExes always merges instead of dropping; Quiet list dedupes like Games/Ignore (#30)
• Quiet/Pause is truly silent: receipts, queued popups and Test-confirm all respect it; unpausing no longer fires an overdue burst (#31)
• Alt-tab 10s no longer kills known-game sessions (same grace as heuristics); exe in both Games+Ignored counts as time-only; adding to one list removes from the other; sleep/resume re-fires detect (#32)
• SCOPE now matches shipped behavior: 10s fade, no No-Overlay mode, single 5s poll, GetWindowRect fullscreen, Z/X confirm note (#33)

Gate tests: fresh Save = no file change; Quiet during 30s confirm = no receipt; alt-tab known game 10s = session survives; edit template without Save = preview and Test agree; Match light PC = white previews with edge; Box 100% over text = no bleed.

Beta 1.4

Beta 1.4 (v1.4.0, commit 6e2468c). Self-contained single exe for Windows 10 1809+ / 11. SmartScreen warning expected until signing/reputation (see SCOPE A2).

Fixes:

• Popup opacity splits into Box + Text sliders, plus a box-off switch for text-only popups (#14)
• Test-game popup uses the Test game placeholder, not your first real entry (#15)
• Settings lists pick up newly found games within a second while open, and a second Save no longer wipes entries (#16)
• Try-a-popup buttons live in the Popup tab now, next to the wording they test (#17)
• Aligned reminders show matching duration and time (30m at 1:29 reads in 1m at 1:30), including intervals that do not split the hour (#18)
• Detect readout no longer calls Discord a launcher (#19)
• Small reliability pass: safer simultaneous saves, one shared ignore list, test popup names the running game (#21)
• Missed-confirm receipt honors Reject-on-timeout instead of always claiming Games (#22)
• Quieter timeout log line, lighter Detect-tab refresh (#23)
• Popups appear correctly on 125%/150% text scaling (#24)
• Quiet Mode matches names the same loose way everywhere, with or without .exe and display names (#25)

Gaming-PC reports: use Detect tab Copy debug info and paste it back, no dev tools needed.

Beta 1.3

Beta 1.3 (v1.3.0, commit d5eb676). Self-contained single exe for Windows 10 1809+ / 11. SmartScreen warning expected until signing/reputation (see SCOPE A2).

Fixes:

• Protected games no longer stick focus on the previous app, falls back to process name (#10)
• Discord-class apps never prompt on fresh installs (#10)
• Tray menu trimmed so Exit is always visible; classify, test popups and logs moved into Settings Detect tab and wired up (#11)
• Renamed beta exe no longer shows as unknown app (#12)
• Start-with-Windows entry follows the current exe across beta swaps (#13)

Gaming-PC reports: use Detect tab Copy debug info and paste it back, no dev tools needed.

Beta 1.2

Beta 1.2 (v1.2.0, commit 034f101). Self-contained single exe for Windows 10 1809+ / 11. SmartScreen warning expected until signing/reputation (see SCOPE A2).

Fixes:

• Save button dims when clean + green Saved receipt (#1)
• Running version shown bottom-left of Settings + logged at startup (#2)
• Custom color Pick buttons with alpha preserved + live preview (#3)
• Tray Open logs folder + Clear log (#4)
• Tray Test confirm is now a dry run, never touches Games list (#5)
• Add focused app uses last non-self focus, never grabs TimeNotice.exe (#6)
• Detect tab live readout with top-GPU verdicts (#9)

Reports still need: what doing / expected-vs-saw / settings.json + debug.log (see #7).

Beta 1.1

SUPERSEDED by Beta 1.2 - new installs should use https://github.com/Skeeee343/TimeNotice/releases/tag/beta-1.2.

---

Heuristic dip-grace (game launch no longer resets the 60s clock on one bad reading, faster GPU pickup on fresh launches, drop reasons in debug.log). Save leaves Settings open. Tray/taskbar reopen brings Settings to front. No install: download TimeNotice.exe and run. Settings live in %AppData%/TimeNotice. SmartScreen will warn (unsigned beta, expected): More info, Run anyway. Defender scan clean on 1.0 codebase plus these changes.

Beta 1.0

First beta. Self-contained single-file Windows x64 build (requires Win10 1809+ / Win11, no install). Unzip, run TimeNotice.exe, look for the tray icon. SmartScreen warning expected (no paid cert yet). SHA256: 5DF86B49BDE026F20633E9B8B96B891579DB241600A9C67EDE01365891E8BF6E
