Changes in beta 2:

Stability

  • On the Mac Pro, if the video card is a NVIDIA 7300 and there is more than 2GB of memory, Pixie Dust is disabled. This avoids a bug in Mac OS X where the entire machine will crash. We will enable this again when Apple fixes this problem.
  • Fixed a crash in OmniDazzle when using Focal Point on Photoshop

Localizations

  • Made several interface strings localizable
  • Added a French localization

Changes in 2.5 include:

  • Known Issues
    • Using a symbol ordering file during linking will confuse OmniObjectMeter.  Setting your Debug build style to not have a symbol ordering file will avoid this issue.

  • General

    • Minor updates to online Help.
    • Turned off some debug logging for release builds.

  • Performance

    • Caches demangled C++ symbol names.
    • Fixed some memory leaks in OOM itself.  OOM still can't run on itself, sadly, or this would have been trivial.

  • Interface

    • Zombies are again selected correctly in the UI when hit (with zombie support enabled in preferences).
    • The restart button no longer warns if the target isn't currently running.  Use 'Restart' in the warning instead of 'Terminate' if we we are restarting.  Also, use sheets for both the restart and terminate warnings.
    • Multiple clicks on the app icon no longer create multiple open panels.
    • Added a 'Send Feedback' menu item.
    • Updated to latest About panel.

OmniPlan 1.0 beta 7 is out

by James on September 27, 2006 | Comment

Release Notes:

  • New Features

    • Tasks have a priority setting which assists in leveling
    • Behavior of the enter key is now user configurable
    • Notes from OmniPlan can now be exported to iCal and included in HTML exports
    • Mini-Manual now available through the Help menu
    • The Show Overview command in the View menu provides an abstract view of all top-level tasks and groups in the project
    • Showing dates on milestones in the Gantt chart is now a separate View Options setting from showing assigned resources on tasks
    • When you drag tasks, they now snap to time units based on the zoom level
    • Duration and Effort totals added to the list of things that appear when left clicking at the bottom of the main window

  • Major Fixes

    • Importing
      • We've fixed a number of issues related to importing and exporting MS Project files.  While we have fixed some problems, we know we still have more work to do, so please keep sending us bug reports!

    • Leveling
      • New leveling algorithm

        • The new leveling algorithm is faster, produces fewer hangs and behaves more predictably.
        • The details are:

          1. Order tasks by priority then by position in the outline
          2. From lowest priority up, position any tasks with absolute end limits (meaning they are locked or have an end constraint or are a prerequisite to another task which is locked or has an end constraint) as _late_ as it is possible for them to fit, so as to reserve worst-case space.
          3. From highest priority down, position tasks as early as allowable and will fit. This includes all the tasks in step 2 as well, which may be moved earlier because of this. If any tasks fail to fit at all, save them for later.
          4. With only remaining 'failed' tasks, from highest priority down, perform the same operation as in step 3. Some may fit now because a lower priority task with a reserved position in step 2 may have moved during its part of step 3. While any tasks are able to be positioned, repeat step 4 again with remaining failed tasks.

    • Calendar

      • Moving time blocks in the work schedule no longer misbehaves
      • Fixed crash when pushing arrow keys in Calendar Mode
      • Modifying time blocks no longer causes them to disappear

    • AppleScript Dates
      • The OmniPlan AppleScript library now handles NSDates correctly

    • Inspecting Multiple Tasks
      • It is now possible to edit multiple tasks at the same time

    • HTML Templates

      • Standardized and cleaned up the HTML in exported projects
      • Exporting resource information is more configurable
      • CSS for our exported HTML has been moved to a separate file
      • HTML exports are more compatible with Firefox and IE

    • Overhauled print options
    • OmniPlan's print settings now accept 2-digit months

  • Minor Fixes

    • Option-clicking a group in the Gantt view will now expand all hidden children
    • Resources no longer disappear from calendar view if you make the window tiny and resize it up again
    • A group's completion percentage now updates immediately when adjusting a subtask
    • Grouping tasks will now renumber properly
    • Assignment pane of the Task inspector now shows all resources
    • Users can now convert between task, group, and milestone from the contextual/action menu

Release Notes:

  • Stability

    • Fixed failure to load files with corrupted named style references.  Now, if a named style isn't found with a given unique identifier, we'll fall back to looking up by name.  If that fails, we'll just drop the reference instead of failing to load the file at all.
    • Fixed crash when clearing the undo stack after having dragged in a URL and then undone that change.
    • Exporting to flat file formats (CSV, plain HTML, etc.) will no longer raise an error when the document has metadata set in the document Spotlight inspector.

  • Interface

    • The row expand/collapse animation will no longer be slow if you are holding down shift unless the animation is due to a mouse click.  French keyboard users (where numbers require shift) will no longer see the slow animation when using the keyboard shortcuts to expand and collapse rows.
    • Tabbed inspector icons should be colored appropriate for the selection before the first time the inspector is loaded.
    • Styles applied to the document title tag as well as styles applied in the document header view should now be reflected in the printed output.  In the case of a conflict, the style attribute set up in the document title view will win.
    • The spell checking panel 'Correct' button will now replace the first misspelled word when it is in a different row.
    • Inherited styles are now listed at the bottom of each section in the style attributes inspector.  This this follows the most specific to least specific layout in the rest of the inspector.
    • Clicking on an attachment, pausing, and then dragging will now drag the attachment as a file reference instead of as a text clipping.

This is a small maintenance release to address some stability and usability issues found in OmniDazzle 1.0. A new feature release is still in planning.

  • Added workaround for bug in the Accessibility support in Mac OS X that would cause crashes when Focal Point queried menus or popups in other applications in some cases.
  • Help pages now have individual titles for improved searching.
  • Pressing the escape key with the Zoom plug-in with the selection indicator still active now also marks the screen 'clear' so you no longer have to manually do this to use the plug-in again.
  • Added correction to the software update query to avoid reporting incorrect data.

  • Clicking in a different input field in the Text Position Inspector will now act the same as Enter or Return on PPC machines.
