OmniGraffle 5.0.1 beta 1 is now available

Joel — Fri, 09 May 2008 20:22:57 +0000

(Not to steal anyone’s thunder concerning a certain sought-after feature in some other application but…)

OmniGraffle 5.0.1 beta 1 is now available for download and it includes a very long list of bug fixes and the like. Much too long to go into depth here, but we’ve caught and knocked down the immediate and pressing issues that cropped up since the initial release of OmniGraffle 5.0.

A quick look on the horizon for further beta releases reveals more work in polishing up foreign language localizations, but for now please do download and check out the latest release.

OmniFocus Sync: It’s ALIVE

Ethan — Fri, 09 May 2008 16:47:10 +0000

If coding were furniture making, we’d have heard the sounds of intense hammering, sawing, planing, the tap tap tap of the chisel, and, I suspect, occasional splintering and smashing of prototypes from Tim’s office over the past few months. Sawdust would have piled high to the rafters and we would have stood outside the craftsman’s door, waiting for the masterpiece to emerge.

In reality of course we heard mostly the gentle sounds of typing, muffled wails and occasional high volume electronica beats early in the morning, but masterpiece is the right word for the result.

Here’s a shot of the prefs pane from the alpha build of OmniFocus that is, right now, this very minute, running on my desktop. I can now leave my laptop at home and have all my data sync up using not one, not two, but three different sync options.

Still internal alpha for now, but we’re planning on having this in the public sneaky peek before the release of Duke Nukem Forever or whenever Ken gets tired of waiting for it to be done.

OmniPlan 1.5.1 rc 5 Released!

Skwirl — Fri, 02 May 2008 01:50:58 +0000

OmniPlan 1.5.1 rc 5 is now available and is a free update for existing OmniPlan 1.x owners. By now, you’ve probably already updated to OmniPlan 1.5 but if you haven’t we highly recommend that you do so as soon as possible.

Some highlights of this version include fixes for a possible crash if the “Connection” or “Assignment” toolbar items were removed and then re-added to the toolbar, and an issue with HTML Full Report exporting black areas in the gantt and timeline images if the user previously exported an image with only the gantt chart, the timeline view, or either outline. If you are experiencing any issues in rc 5, please let us know as soon as possible.

To learn more about the changes in 1.5.1 rc 5, please see the release notes for more details!

Please keep in mind that this release is still under development. Your feedback will help us improve the software, and we apologize if it breaks your computer, corrupts your files, and ruins your weekend. A more stable release is also available. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or comments. You can contact us directly via our support page or by using the Send Feedback feature in your copy of OmniPlan.

For current 1.5 users, you can use our nifty new software updater to download and install the new rc. For everyone else, go here to download the rc!

OmniGraffle 4.2.3 is now available

Joel — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:04:13 +0000

No changes since the release candidate a couple of weeks ago.

The sad part about this is that we currently have no dedicated page for version 4 of OmniGraffle, this is something that I hope we can address in a website redesign.

In the meantime, you can find OmniGraffle 4.2.3 and OmniGraffle Professional 4.2.3 at our software archive, and here are direct links:

OmniGraffle 4.2.3

OmniGraffle Professional 4.2.3

Enjoy!

OmniPlan 1.5.1 rc 4 released!

Troy — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:12:25 +0000

OmniPlan 1.5.1 rc 4 is now available and is a free update for existing OmniPlan 1.x owners. By now, you’ve probably already updated to OmniPlan 1.5 but if you haven’t and you’re on Mac OS X Leopard, we highly recommend that you do so as soon as possible.

Highlights include additional fixes to prevent undo stack corruption. The drawing issue with dependency lines that appeared in rc 3 has also been corrected.

This version also includes some other bug fixes and enhancements (far too many to list here). To learn more about the changes in 1.5.1 rc 4, please see the release notes for more details!

OmniGraffle 4.2.3 release candidate 1 is available for download

Joel — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:54:47 +0000

Just a few more fixes that have popped up along the way, we’ve fixed a recursive NIB crash when running in Spanish as well as addressing another instance of the issue where the .graffle file extension would get appended on export.

The upshot to RC status is that once the final version of OmniGraffle 4.2.3 is out and about, is that version 5.0.1 can go into beta testing, it’s currently busy waiting in the wings.

You can find the release candidate of OmniGraffle 4.2.3 at our beta page.

OmniPlan will also ignore filters when leveling and rescheduling tasks now. If you are experiencing any issues in rc 2, please let us know as soon as possible.
