Version 3.0

What's new?

The application is available on the Microsoft Store

You can install the latest version from the Microsoft Store

Today's screen time have been added to the application icon tooltip

The time remaining is kept

When the application is stopped for less than five minutes (a reboot for instance), the time remaining is kept.

Breaking Changes

The application now targets .NET 8. If you want to benefit from the MSIX package in order to install it (manually or from the store), you must have Windows 10, version 1903 minimum. Otherwise, if have an older system, you still can build the app yourself or download a previous version from the Releases page. It should work starting with Windows 7.0 but I've not tested it.

Bug fixes

There was bugs due to migration to MSIX Package that are fixed now:

• Run at start not working
• Win32Exception when clicking on hyperlinks from the about window

Housekeeping

• Dependencies updated
• Build workflows
• Code cleanup

Installation

You can install the latest version from the Microsoft Store

If you prefer, you also can download the MSIX package and install it yourself:

1. Download NeedABreak.zip from the assets and unzip it in some folder
2. Open NeedABreakPackagingProject_3.0.0.0_Test folder
3. If it is the first time you install the application, execute the powershell script Install.ps1 to automatically install the certificate and the application.
4. For subsequent installation, you can Double-Click or Right-Click>Install on NeedABreakPackagingProject_3.0.0.0_x86_x64.msixbundle
   

If you had installed a previous version, you should uninstall it before installing version 3.0.
