Time Out 2.9.7 released

· release · Time Out

What’s this? Yet another update of Time Out?! This is getting ridiculous, but I think I’ve finally caught all of the issues with older macOS versions. Why did this happen, you may wonder? It’s my own fault, of course. I’m working on version 3.0, which will require the latest macOS version.
