Today we're releasing OmniGraphSketcher 1.0 RC 2, which is identical to RC 1 except for some changes that should remedy a crash related to text editing. You can download via the website or software update. Thanks to everyone that has submitted feedback and crash reports during the beta process!
We're quickly approaching the final OmniGraphSketcher 1.0 release, and today are making RC1 available via software update and the download page.
Lead developer Robin has added some more optimizations for dealing with larger .ograph files, as well as fixed some nagging bugs and crashes. We now interpret parenthesized numbers as negative when importing, and sharp-eyed users will notice a refined selection highlight. OmniGraphSketcher's rectangular selection tool is now more consistent with OmniGraffle's (finding all graph elements that intersect with with the selection rectangle). This release also features a complete help document.
You can read the full release notes here or from the Help menu within the application. As usual, please don't hesitate to send us your feedback and any crash reports that are generated. While version 1.0 is feature-complete, we've got great stuff planned for the future.
Hot on the heels of beta 4, we're releasing OmniGraphSketcher beta 5.
As promised last week, this beta includes support for Quick Look and Spotlight indexing. Older .ograph files will need to be re-saved to get these features. Quick Look and Spotlight are also now enabled for .graph files created with Robin Stewart Software Graph Sketcher.
We've added a menu command called “Make Current Styles Default” which saves your current fonts and axis visibility settings as defaults for future graphs.
Clicking the “Connect Points” button at the bottom of the data inspector will now connect points in the order they appear in the list (creation order), rather than from left to right. The other methods of connection (style inspector, Edit menu item) continue to connect from left to right.
OmniGraphSketcher documents in progress are now auto-saved. If you should experience a crash, your document will be reopened when you relaunch the application.
If OmniGraphSketcher does crash on you, please be sure to click the button to send us the crash report, which will help us make the final version as stable as humanly possible. If you have time to attach your file and/or tell us what you were doing when it crashed, that's even better.
You can check out the rest of the release notes and download beta 5 here (or just “Check for Updates…” within the application).
Today we're releasing OmniGraphSketcher beta 4, our biggest update since the initial beta. Here are some highlights from the release notes:
You can grab OmniGraphSketcher beta 4 here, or via software update. As always, we'd love to hear from you via the Help > Send Feedback menu item or at omnigraphsketcher@omnigroup.com.
OmniGraphSketcher beta 3 is now available! This release includes a fix for the alerts users have reported when filling certain types of areas, as well as better support for opening corrupted files. Best-fit lines can now have undefined slope, and the inspector layouts have been adjusted slightly. You can get beta 3 via software update or from the OmniGraphSketcher download page.
Thanks to everyone who has submitted feedback so far! Please keep those emails coming - you can also “Send Feedback” from the OmniGraphSketcher Help menu.
Beta 2 of OmniGraphSketcher is now available via software update or from the OmniGraphSketcher Product Page. This release features a few bug and crash fixes, as well as an updated “Getting Started” document. You can read the full release notes in the OmniGraphSketcher help menu.
We've also got a new screencast, focused on importing and working with data from another application. You can find it on the main OmniGraphSketcher page as well.
Thanks to everyone who has downloaded the beta and sent feedback so far! If you have any graphs (made with OmniGraphSketcher or that you'd like to be able to make) that you think are interesting, we'd love to see them - it really helps us figure out just what people are using the tool for. You can contact our support ninjas via Help > Send Feedback or by emailing omnigraphsketcher@omnigroup.com.
