The Omni Group

OmniPlan 1.5 beta 1 is now available and is a free update for existing OmniPlan 1.x owners. There's lots of exciting new features like:

• Linking Attachments
• Live Filtering on View (which also applies to exports & printing)
• Configurable Gantt Chart Label
• Summary Headers
• Scheduling Granularity
• Chevrons (They appear when a task is off screen. Clicking a chevron will scroll the view to make the task visible)
• QuickLook for Leopard users
• Automatic Download & Install of updates
• ...a whole slew of enhancements and bug fixes. :-)

For those of you who may be haunting Apple's Leopard countdown page, counting each and every second until you can get your early-adopter mitts on the newest OS; watching the guided tour over and over and maybe considering expanding your wardrobe to include more long-sleeved black t-shirts; working on your subdued, yet expressive hand gestures; pondering the sex appeal of various reflective surfaces . . . for YOU, I have good news: Omni has updated nearly all of our software so that when you start running Leopard on Friday (at 6 PM exactly), your favorite Omni apps won't let you down.

Well, to be clear, I mean they'll run on Leopard, I can't guarantee they won't let you down in other ways (for instance: not calling after a first date, failing to put their dishes in the dishwasher, consistently adding possessive apostrophes to plural nouns, etc).

In a nutshell:

• Current final releases of OmniWeb and OmniDiskSweeper are Leopard-ready

• Current beta releases of OmniFocus, OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, and OmniDazzle are Leopard-ready

• OmniPlan has some Leopard Issues that it's working through with talk therapy and an experimental drug regimen, but we hope to offer a 10.5 update in the next few weeks.

A full compatibility report is available on our Leopard status page, along with some fancy illustrative buttons.

Okay okay. I admit it. If you've been following along with our sneaky peeks during 5.6 development there isn't a whole lot new here. But I must take this opportunity to thank all of you testers out there because none of this would be possible without you.

But! If you haven't been running the sneaky peeks, this little bit of news that OmniWeb 5.6 is now totally complete and ready for your downloading slash browsing slash enjoying pleasure may be just the bit of news you need to top your day! New updated rendering engine (about a year and a half of development has gone into this thanks to the WebKit crew). Inline PDF support, Web Inspector, support for the Drosera JavaScript debugger, improved JavaScript and plug-in support are all there. Bug fixes to syncing the UI and bookmarks, crashes and other stability issues have been corrected. We've even made sure that upgrading to leopard will go smoothly for you. So if you've experienced some performance problems, have had trouble displaying pages or, you know, plan to upgrade your OS this Friday…

Go give it a try! Download and release notes can be found here.

Nothing bad happened, so there's been no changes since the release of 4.2.1 beta 2 last week (excepting a version number change and various street cred that comes from being legit).

Go grab it at the download page and enjoy!

Huzzah!

We've figured out the issue that was causing kernel panics when saving files for some users. Turns out, it had to do with the file icon getting written out. Kevin spied a line of code that was at fault, and was thinking of commenting it out, and then Ken was all, “Fly, you fools!!” and he jumped right up on the build machine and started bellowing “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!” at the kernel panic, and just like that it was gone.

Or, something to that effect.

Anyways, you can find the kindly release at the beta page, enjoy!

OmniPlan 1.1.2 is now available! Nothing has changed from 1.1.2 RC 1, but the highlights for 1.1.2 include Mac OS X Version 10.5 Leopard support, fixes for some Microsoft Project MPX and XML import bugs, a fix for importing .CSV files encoded in UTF-16, a fix for exports to OmniGraffle for French and Simplified Chinese users, and some localization fixes. You can view a complete list of changes in the OmniPlan 1.1.2 release notes here.

This is a free update for folks who already own an OmniPlan 1 license, so we encourage all OmniPlan users to upgrade to the latest version.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions or comments about OmniPlan. You can contact us directly thru our support page or by using the Send Feedback commend in OmniPlan's Help Menu.

Hey, you all remember my last blog post concerning the release of OmniGraffle 4.2? Remember how I said that it was the end of development for OmniGraffle 4?

Well, I was wrong.

Oh, and sufficiently chastised for it as well. (not by anyone here at Omni, we're all too nice for chastising, however I have friends in other circles who aren't as forgiving)

Anyways, we found a few important bugs in the final 4.2 release, they have been addressed and such, and the beta release is available at the recently-resurrected beta page.

OmniPlan 1.1.2 RC 1 is now available! We've added a couple of MPX bug fixes, updated some Dutch and Italian localization files, and fixed an issue where exporting to OmniGraffle in French and Simplified Chinese resulted in a file with encoded tags instead of data from your plan.

Please keep in mind that this release is still under development. Your feedback will help us improve the software, and we apologize if it crashes, corrupts your files, or otherwise misbehaves. A more stable release is also available.

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.

A long release process, finally done.

This marks the end of development on OmniGraffle 4, provided nothing unexpected occurs with the release of Mac OS X 10.5 (fingers crossed).

The upshot of this is that we're all now working on OmniGraffle 5. And speaking of Leopard, expect to see a public beta of Graffle 5 after the release of Mac OS X 10.5, as it will be required.

A couple of caveats concerning OmniGraffle 4.2 for those who haven't been running the beta releases:

• OmniGraffle 4.2 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later to run
• OmniGraffle 4.2 is actually named “OmniGraffle 4” or “OmniGraffle Professional 4” and then localized to hide the number 4 in the Finder. This is done so users of Graffle 2 and Graffle 3 can download and install version 4 without overwriting their existing version of the application

Only change from the release candidate last week was a little icon polish.

Download, and enjoy!
