OmniFocus Release Notes

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - October 10, 2008

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - October 9, 2008

Fixed a case where processing an overdue inbox item into an action list would not update the sidebar overdue counter.
Added 6 new built-in perspectives. These mirror what you get on the iPhone app home screen, and should make the workflow for new users a little easier to follow. They are part of the default toolbar, and in the perspectives menu.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - October 8, 2008

Fixed some missing links in the Help.
Updating layout options in the Style preferences should now correctly update the view immediately.
Fixed a crash that could occur when editing a date while syncing in some cases.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - October 7, 2008

Fixed a crash when syncing to DAV providers like bingodisk that have problems handling the MOVE command over https. Our workaround for the spurious 502 (Bad Gateway) error resulted in a crash in some configurations.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - October 3, 2008

Fixed a regression which could cause hangs when attempting to sync through a proxy server.
Fixed a problem with using a Mac running 10.4 as a Bonjour sync client.
Enabled Local-network syncing as a new sync type. This won't work with OmniFocus for iPhone until the next version (v1.1) is released. But, you can test this on your local network between multiple Macs to help ensure that any bugs get found sooner rather than later.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - October 2, 2008

"Move Old Data to Archive" will no longer archive individual tasks which belong to an repeating project or group. (If the repeating project itself is complete, the whole project can be archived.)

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - October 1, 2008

Fixed a bug in our AppleScript terminology which would confuse "ical_synchronize" with "synchronize".
Attempted to avoid a crasher when deleting an action. We were never able to reproduce this at Omni, but we've added some defensive coding that may avoid the problem.
Fixed a crash that could happen when reporting errors.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - September 30, 2008

Fixed a regression that prevented moving tasks to the inbox via AppleScript.
If you've chosen to sync with a local disk (such as a USB drive) and the disk isn't currently available, sync will return an error rather than creating a new folder with the disk's name.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - September 29, 2008

Moved some startup code around for the menu status item counter. This should avoid a problem due to using APE, though we still recommend avoiding haxies when possible.
Report a nicer error than what we get automatically for the 402 Payment Required http status result returned idisk.me.com if you enter a MobileMe account that doesn't exist. Really, Apple shouldn't even use this status code since it is reserved by W3 right now.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - September 26, 2008

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - September 25, 2008

Fixed a crash in some cases after having clipped something into Quick Entry and then used Undo followed by Redo.
Fixed potential for loss of currently editing field when syncing unrelated changes made on another computer or device.
Fixed alert about unresolvable URI when sync-on-quit fires and pulls changes while local changes have been made.
Updated release notes header to be more compact and include twitter names for OmniFocus and OmniFocus for iPhone.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - September 24, 2008

Improved launch time a tad (mostly for the next iPhone build, where the CPU is might slower).
Improved support for MobileMe preference syncing; specifically the way we note preferences that shouldn't be synced.
Fixed an interface glitch, possibly leading to a crash, when syncing incorporates a change to a task's context or similar relationship change.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - September 23, 2008

Doing some more behind-the-scenes for the upcoming Bonjour syncing support.
Also doing some work to migrate to a new Bonjour settings protocol for communication between the Mac and iPhone. The Bonjour sync configuration support should continue to work with the currently published app, so let us know if you see any regressions.

OmniFocus 1.1 sneaky peek - September 22, 2008

When saving to SQLite contains only changes to derived information like whether tasks are overdue, we no longer write an XML transaction. The upshot of this is that waking up your phone or Mac after when a task has become due soon or overdue should no longer create a transaction. This should help make our document compaction able to fire more reliably.
