OmniPlan 1.7 Final has been released!
As always, we'd like to thank everyone who provided bug reports during the Sneaky Peeks. For OmniPlan 1.7, we focused on integrating the latest version of mpxj from mpxj.sourceforge.net. Most notably this adds support for Microsoft Project 2010 MPP files, and improves compatibility with 2007 MSPDI and earlier formats.
OmniPlan 1.7 is a free update to all registered users of OmniPlan, so fire up your built-in software updater or head to our website and download OmniPlan 1.7 today!
Hello OmniPlan fans!
With the release of Microsoft Project 2010 we've been receiving reports of import issues with their new file format. In OmniPlan 1.7, we focused on integrating the latest version of mpxj from mpxj.sourceforge.net. Most notably this adds support for Microsoft Project 2010 MPP files, and improves compatibility with 2007 MSPDI and earlier formats.
Sneaky peeks are not for the faint of heart! These unstable and untested builds are snapshots of our development. This means that you might actually be the first person to try a particular build and discover that it eats your system. (We hope that doesn't happen, of course, but since we won't have tested the app before giving you access we can't make any guarantees.)
If you'd like to join us on the bleeding edge of our development process, head to our sneaky peek website to download OmniPlan 1.7 now.
If you come across any issues in the sneaky peeks, please let us know! You can reach us by clicking on Send Feedback in the Help menu (found in the app), sending email to omniplan@omnigroup.com, tweeting to @OmniPlan, or calling 1-800-315-OMNI or +1 206-523-4152.
Hey OmniPlan planners, 1.6.3 rc 2 has been released!
In this version we fixed a bug where some fonts would lay out with different line heights when editing than when not. We've also fixed our crash catching and reporting framework under Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
Please keep in mind that this version is still in development so feedback is encouraged and we apologize if it breaks your computer, corrupts your files, or ruins your weekend.

Hey OmniPlan planners, 1.6.3 rc 1 has been released!

OmniPlan 1.6.2 has been released!
As always, we’d like to thank everyone who provided crash reports, bug reports, and feedback over the last couple of months. If you'd like to read release notes in their entirety you can click here. The highlights of this update include:
In trial mode, instead of limiting the user to 20 tasks we now support unlimited functionality for 14 days.
Fixed what was easily our most common crasher (in -[OPGanttView drawRect:])
Improvements to localizations.
Fixed a bug preventing documents from being overwritten correctly when saved to AFP filesystems, instead creating a new file with tilde in the filename (like foo~.omniplan).
The horizontal time scale set by the "Scale to fit" menu items is now saved so that the project will be scaled the same when you save and reload it.
Fixed a couple more leveling loops.
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.
OmniPlan 1.6.2 is a free and highly recommended update to all registered users of OmniPlan, so fire up your built-in software updater or head to our website and download OmniPlan 1.6.2 today!
Hey OmniPlan planners, 1.6.2 rc 2 has been released!
In this version we fixed a bug where the horizontal time scale set by the "Scale to fit" menu items is now saved so that the project will be scaled the same when you save and reload it. Also, we fixed a bug where OmniPlan would hang while attempting to level a task assigned to a resource group containing only resources that cannot perform work (such as materials). Other than that, the rest is unchanged and if no one reports any major issues we’ll be going final in a few weeks.
Please keep in mind that this version is still in development so feedback is encouraged and we apologize if it breaks your computer, corrupts your files, or ruins your weekend.

Hey OmniPlan planners, 1.6.2 rc 1 has been released!

Hey OmniPlan planners! Hot on the heels of beta 1, it's 1.6.2 beta 2!
In this version, we fixed some minor bugs around opening documents read-only when the 14 day trial runs out. We also correctly disable more controls for read-only documents and fixed some broken or misdirected links in the online help content.
On the localization side we fixed a couple of garbled strings in the German localization and tweaked the Japanese localization a little more. Last but not least, the software update and license panels are now correctly localized in many languages.
Please keep in mind that this version is still in development so feedback is encouraged and we apologize if it breaks your computer, corrupts your files, or ruins your weekend.

Hey OmniPlan planners, 1.6.2 beta 1 has been released!
In this version, we fixed some memory management issues that we suspect were the cause of the -[OPGanttView drawRect:] crasher we've been pursuing. If you're still getting it, we'd love to know!
We've also updated our Japanese localization which fixes broken links in the HTML exports, fixed a rare condition that led to an infinite loop in resource leveling, and fixed a bug preventing documents from being overwritten correctly when saved to AFP filesystems.
Last but not least, we've done away with the demo mode limit of 20 tasks and now support unlimited functionality for 14 days. Thereafter the user can open and export plan files, but not edit them. We still need to do some minor tweaks to this so currently the release notes don't show up on first launch, but you can view them by going to the Help menu.
