OmniGraffle 5.0 beta 6 is now available

by Joel on January 24, 2008

The dust has settled after the Macworld Expo, and from that chaotic return a new beta release of OmniGraffle 5 has emerged, much like a Phoenix rising from the ashes.

Well, not so much like that, but I like to make my life as exciting as possible.

The big news is that localizations are in place now, there are still a few strings left to be translated yet the application and the Help files are now localized into the seven Tier 1 languages.

Speaking of big, due to the localizations, the downloadable disk images are considerably larger than they had been before (more than twice the size!), as a result we've added English-only downloads in the sidebar of the beta page.

Aside from all that, a couple of crashes fixed, some more bugs addressed, and we move ever forward to a final release.

Please, go and download, and enjoy!

 

Comments

like the other comments on the thread started by the first announcement of the OmniGraffle 5 betas, I agree that a $100 upgrade fee is awfully steep, and is very likely to shake me from the bandwagon—my use of OG isn't mission-critical enough to justify that amount. This, from a happy OG4, OO, and OF owner.

I just checked the other thread and there was no reply to Doug's comment :(

FWIW, I'm also not upgrading. I'm a big fan and supporter of OMNI, but this time I'll pass.

A happy owner (and upgrader) of Omni
