• No changes from RC1. Complete list of changes since 3.6.5:
• Features
  • 10.5: QuickLook support! QuickLook previews are dynamically generated with XSLT on the source code using the same transform as the dynamic HTML export. This means you can interact with your outline in the same way with collapsing and expanding sections.
  • 10.5: Added high-res versions of the app, document, and OPML icons.
  • Added support for the OmniFocus protocol so links can be manually typed or scripted.
  • HTML/DHTML Export:
    • Mixed state checkboxes in a checkbox type column will now appear.
    • Fixed rendering issues of checkboxes in additional checkbox columns.
    • Added shading to the summary cells like seen onscreen.
    • Made some other fixes to render empty cells correctly and adjusted checkbox spacing.
• Stability
  • Changed how backups are saved to remove the 16MB file limit imposed by saving to the resource fork that would cause backups to fail silently. The backup is now written out to .OOBK inside the document's file wrapper. *Note: If you modified your file to be flat, the backup will still be saved to the resource fork with the 16MB limit.*
  • Fixed a hang that resulted from doing a 'Replace All' when your replacement string contained your search string.
  • Fixed a crasher that was caused by turning off attachment tags while the title was being edited.
  • Fixed a hang that could be hit from having a search term in the sidebar and entering data very quickly.
  • Stopping an audio recording will now mark the document dirty prompting you to save if you try to close the window.
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue with not correctly updating the display of the outline title when the title is set to 'Always'.
  • Fixed a regression with the Text Border color not properly being set on first activation.
  • Fixed a regression that was causing OmniOutliner to become the active app when the clipping service was used.
  • Fixed the regular expression parser to handle %20 correctly.
  • Added a workaround that allows custom key bindings for the 'New From Template' options again without causing the slow down previously experienced.
  • 10.5: Emails dragged in from Apple Mail will now always correctly show the subject.
  • 10.5: It is possible to access documents by their name without the file extension again through AppleScript.
  • 10.5: Fixed an issue with EPS generated PDFs being low resolution.
  • 10.5: Find window will now appear in the space you called it from instead of the space it first opened in.
• Miscellaneous
  • Added two new defaults to support the keyboard changes already made in OmniFocus, OOShouldEditNotesOnEnterKey and OOShouldToggleEditingWithEscapeKey.

    The default values of these are set so there is no changed in enter and escape key behavior over previous OO3 versions. To match OmniFocus's enter key behavior, enter the following without the quotes into Terminal.app while OmniOutliner is closed:

    For pro - "defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniOutlinerPro3 OOShouldEditNotesOnEnterKey -bool false"

    For standard: "defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniOutliner3 OOShouldEditNotesOnEnterKey -bool false"

  • OmniOutliner is now code signed.
  • Updated the about info with the new Omni building address

Historical Release Notes

OmniOutliner 3.5 and newer do not support Mac OS X 10.2.x and require Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

OmniOutliner and OmniOutliner Professional both let you create and edit documents with up to 20 items when in unlicensed mode.

Release notes and known issues are included within the application. Please read them by selecting Release Notes from the Help menu in OmniOutliner. You can also read about the changes in 3.7 on the release notes page.

OmniOutliner 3 uses a new file format and any existing OmniOutliner 2 documents will be upgraded when opened (or you will also have the option to open them as read-only). Your original document will be saved with a new file name.

Any documents you create or modify using OmniOutliner 3 will use the new file format and will have to be exported to OmniOutliner 2 format if you want to open them in that version at a later time. The OmniOutliner 2 format does not support all of the features of OmniOutliner 3 so some data may be lost.

You may wish to rename your copy of OmniOutliner 2.2.6 before installing version 3 instead of overwriting the older version. If you do need to download version 2 again OmniOutliner 2.2.6 is still available.

1. Download

In the "Download Now" section of the sidebar on the right, click the version you want to download (OmniOutliner or OmniOutliner Pro).

2. Mount

Wait until the download is complete. If your web browser and system are properly configured, Disk Copy or Finder will open and mount the downloaded disk image. If this does not happen, locate in Finder the .dmg file that you downloaded and double-click it to open the file. (Double-check to be sure that you've quit all running copies of OmniOutliner before you continue any further...)

3. Install

When the disk image mounts, a new Finder window will open that contains the icon for your new OmniOutliner application. Simply drag this icon to your Applications folder (or wherever you would like to keep it) to install. This copies the application from the virtual disk image onto your hard disk so the application is there for you to use whenever you like.

4. Eject

Once OmniOutliner is installed you can safely 'eject' the virtual disk that it came on and also dispose of the .dmg file that you downloaded if you choose. Double-click the OmniOutliner icon in the location you installed it in order to begin using the application. You may wish to drag the icon to the Dock for easy access.
