OmniPlan 1.0 beta 6
Released Thursday, August 24th, 2006.

Major Fixes

   * Many menu item keyboard shortcuts remapped to make more
     sense. And some menu items rearranged in the menus.

   * Project Style inspector reworked to make editing text and
     gantt bar styles more straightforward. This made the
     appearance inspector group obsolete, and it is now gone.

   * There were several nasty bugs with specific work schedule
     exceptions (for instance, vacation days) resulting in the
     wrong scheduling and task durations. These are all fixed.

   * In the calendar view you can now Option-drag a time block to
     subtract work times. This is quite useful for defining
     vacation days.

   * Excel will now correctly open our CSV export files.

   * Resource leveling no longer moves tasks back into the past,
     which was undoing things like reschedule operations.

   * Unindenting after indenting a task now turns the group that
     was created back into a normal task again.

MS Project support

   * Many more project files import correctly.

   * OmniPlan now supports flat numbering of rows in addition to
     the previous legal / work breakdown structure form. MS
     Project files are now opened in this style by default, since
     that is the form of numbering which MS Project uses. The
     numbering style can be changed back and forth with an item
     in the View menu.

   * MS Project unique ids are now kept as a custom data column
     on tasks and resources, and can optionally be viewed in the
     outline in OmniPlan. Writing back out in an MS Project
     format preserves these unique ids.

   * Better defaults for visible columns, splitter positions, and
     other window appearance settings when opening MS Project
     files.

Minor Fixes

   * Made the default behavior for the tab key be to switch
     between fields instead of indenting the selected task. This
     can be modified via preferences.

   * The column sizes and positions in the default template now
     fit.

   * Resizing the window no longer moves the split view bar.

   * The column mapping panel on import from OmniOutliner and CSV
     formats is now resizable and allows the ability to add
     custom data columns.

   * Export filters have been prettified. The date within X
     days/weeks filters now give the correct results. Filtering
     by completion now correctly accepts percentages as values.

   * Violation and overdue badges are now more distinct and
     prettier.

   * The resource allocation graph is now flat for easier
     readability. Also added a Show/Hide item in the View menu
     for it to make this feature's existence more obvious.

   * The mini calendar in the calendar view now has a much better
     selection of the selected week. It also now shows off-days
     in gray numerals and different-than-standard days in orange.

   * Printing HTML reports no longer prints an extra page.

   * Better visual cursor feedback when manipulating gantt bars
     with the mouse.

   * Mousing over the gantt view used to end up displaying
     editability handles on more than one bar at a time - this is
     now fixed.

   * Changed the wording on Send Feedback panel to be more clear.

   * Fixed crash when double-clicking on IM column in resource
     view.

   * Cost headings in the report pages were confusing. Labeled
     them better.

   * "Send instant message" added to the advanced actions menu in
     Resource Info inspector.

   * Many undo/redo action names improved.

   * Unindenting multiple nested tasks at once wasn't working
     correctly. Now performs exactly the same as OmniOutliner for
     this operation.

   * Copying and pasting groups of already leveled tasks would
     result in bizarre behavior if resource leveling was used
     again. Now fixed.

   * Web Export now correctly produces iCal to do lists instead
     of two copies of the resource's calendar.
