Release v2.5.0 - Custom Audio Support, 1-Click Return, More Alarm SFX, Quantum Console, and Visual Improvements

[adrian-miasik]

Update time!
We got some goodies some people have been asking for, but first...

Special thanks to the people that wrote in and reported the issues pertaining to our Unity Cloud Builds:

• @AyshaLyre 👍 (UI is not showing properly #104)
• @KingWazzack👍 (Problems with Icons on MacOS Ventura w/ Apple Silicon #109)

Release Notes

• Introducing support for Custom Runtime Audio! 🔊
  • Users can now provide custom .mp3 or .wav files and use them to set a custom alarm sound! 🔔
  • This feature was highly requested. I've wrote up the appropriate documentation here:
    • 📝 Tutorial: How to Use Custom Audio
  • Note: This feature is currently intended for Desktop users at the moment.
• Added in 3 more additional pre-installed alarm sounds! 🎶
  • You can now set your preferred alarm sounds in the settings page
• Added a '1-Click Quick Switch' Button ⏲️
  • The timestamp bubble that appears at the bottom right of the screen is now interactable.
  • Pressing this button will instantly return you back to your active timer. The behaviour is the same as clicking the 'Pomodoro Timer' row from the sidebar menu. The intent is to be able to return to the timer with a single button click instead of having to open the sidebar menu every time. (Suggested by Steam user 'Carthes')
• Implemented Quantum Console 🛠️
  • We now have a console implemented for development and debugging purposes. Primarily intended for developer use but also available to tech-savvy users. Currently disabled for this release, but available in-editor.
  • Moving forward we will be adding commands to this with ways to manipulate/control your timers.
• Visual Improvements
  • Added additional 'True Shadows' to our UI elements
  • Fixed a couple visual artifacts
