After a beta testing period that got somewhat interrupted by WWDC and submitting OmniGraffle 1.2 for iPad to the App Store, we're happy to announce that the final versions of OmniGraffle and OmniGraffle Professional 5.2.3 are ready and available for download.

For those not following the beta releases, version 5.2.3 fixes some important bugs with respect to Bézier lines and how they connect to shapes, fixes some important issues when exporting to other formats, and adds file management options when exporting to various OmniGraffle formats to better get your files working on the iPad.

Find the disk images at our download page, and read up on the lengthy history of OmniGraffle at our historical release notes page.

Testing of OmniGraffle 5.2.3 beta 2 went well over the last two weeks, so we're ready to go for a release candidate. As is usual policy around here, we'll let the RC bake for a couple of weeks and then go final if nothing bad happens.

Disk images and release notes covering the history of version 5.2.3 can be found at the bottom of the OmniGraffle download page.

We've added a couple of small fixes in this beta release, one that has to do with canvas names being incorrect on an export to HTML imagemap that was due to a different fix in beta 1, and Bézier lines should be back to normal, with the addtition of routing better according to their control handles when both endpoints are in the same location.

The beta's at the bottom of the download page, as are the release notes, short as they are.

We've made fixes to some pesky bugs that got missed during the development of OmniGraffle for iPad, and made some modifications to some of the built-in stencils, and added file settings for all exported OmniGraffle document types to better help getting your files over to the iPad.

Full release notes and download links at the bottom of the download page.

Amidst all the craziness going on with iPad development, this version of OmniGraffle got pushed to the wayside a wee tad, we've basically been ready to go final with it but kept delaying the release in order to work on that other OmniGraffle project.

To sum up (for those of you who may not have been keeping up with the beta releases), we've added some preferences to disable the Multi-Touch trackpad gestures, as well as some preferences for dealing with momentum scrolling if you're using a Magic Mouse, and fixed a fair number of bugs associated with shared layers and Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard".

You can find the disk images to download at our newly-revamped downloads page, and read up at the historical release notes page.

Between iPad development meetings, wireframing, mocking things up, and general UI theorycrafting, I managed to remember to release OmniGraffle 5.2.2 rc 1, but almost forgot to tell anyone about it.

So, beta testing went well, and we're here at release candidate stage. Simple enough.

You may find the release candidate at our beta page, and as always, release notes await.

There just happens to be another platform that we sometimes develop for, that's not the iPad, and as such we've just released a beta version of OmniGraffle and OmniGraffle Professional 5.2.2.

This release contains a good many bug fixes dealing with shared layers and Mac OS 10.6 compatibility, along with fixes to a number of crashes when working with Visio files, PDFs, and subgraphs.

We've added a preference to turn off multi-touch gestures on laptops that have that feature, and a last-minute hidden preference to disable the scrollwheel to zoom in and out when Commmand is held down, for those of you using Apple's new Magic Mouse.

Much more information is in the release notes page, and downloads are on the beta page.

The last of the troubling little issues when running in Mac OS X 10.6 have been addressed and passed muster, so it's time for this release to go final.

Please do go see all about it at the historical release notes page, and the beta page is closed for the meantime, the download page is the place to be.

We let things bake for a little while during the release of OmniGraffle 5.2.1 beta 2, we just wanted to make sure that there wasn't another shoe left to drop when running under Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and things are looking pretty good, so here's a release candidate for you all.

Peruse the historical release notes page, and find the release candidate at the not-so-properly-named beta page.

We found a handful of bugs since the release of version 5.2.1 beta 1 a couple of weeks ago, and felt that they should be addressed post-haste, as it were. A couple of crash fixes have been made, an error thrown when pasting in data from OmniOutliner got looked at, and some needed tweaking of the multi-touch trackpad code have all been implemented for this beta release.

We encourage you to download and give beta 2 a try (if it's your proclivity to participate in the beta releases), and as always the beta download page and historical release notes await.
