OmniFocus 2.4.2 — January 29, 2016

OmniFocus 2.4.2 is focused on stability.

• AppleScript — Fixed a bug where setting duration to “missing value” applied a value of zero minutes instead.
• Crash — Fixed a crash switching sidebar selection with rows selected in the outline and text folding enabled.
• Crash — Fixed a crash having to do with repeating events imported from Reminders
• Crash — Fixed a crash sorting in Contexts sidebar with “No Context” selected.

OmniFocus 2.4.1 is focused on stability:

• Crash — Fixed a crash closing any full-screen window.
• Crash in Notes — Fixed a crash having to do with notes.
• Mac App Store Crash — Fixed a crash upgrading to Pro in the Mac App Store version of OmniFocus.

OmniFocus 2.4 adds a new option for “Due Soon” and full push-triggered syncing that was previously only available in OmniFocus on iOS devices.

• Due Soon — Due Soon includes a new option—"Today"—which includes only items due before midnight. Due Soon options expressed in “days” also use midnight as a boundary instead of multiples of 24 hours. So, “Due Soon is in the next 2 days” includes items due before midnight tomorrow. The “24 Hours” option remains unchanged, but since the overwhelming majority of customers we heard from were looking for it to function as “Today”, we have made the latter the default and you’ll need to re-select “24 Hours” if you prefer to not use midnight as a boundary.
• Push-triggered Sync — We’ve been using silent push notifications to trigger syncs on iOS since version 2.2.1, and now we’ve expanded to include triggering syncs on the Mac. As of these builds, your iOS device running OmniFocus 2.6 or later should automatically tell OmniFocus for Mac to sync shortly after you make a change. Because OmniFocus also triggers syncs via local network notifications, you might not see “Push” very often in the sync logs on your Mac if you tend to keep your iOS device connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac. You’ll find all the push-related settings in Synchronization Preferences > Show Sync Details…. For an updated explanation of how of push-triggered sync works, check out this article.
• Delete in Quick Entry — Backspace/delete in an empty title in Quick Entry now deletes the item (as it does in the main window).
• Emoji — Fixed a bug where Emoji would disappear from Action Titles if certain other characters were also present.
• Note Icons — We changed to a note indicator and disclosure button with less-ambiguous states. Presence of a note is now indicated by a filled icon (vs hollow), and expansion of note is indicated by whether you see a note or not(!).
• Due Soon and Unavailable — We now follow iOS color and urgency rules for items that are due soon but unavailable: they get yellow dates and gray status circles.
• http User Agent — Updated our user agent strings to include the marketing version in addition to bundle version.
• Locking Errors — Made it much easier to quit OmniFocus in the case where multiple copies of the app are open.
• Crash in Help — Fixed a crash closing a full-screen help window.
• Localizations — Updated localizations — there still may be some pieces missing, including Documentation.
• Note Button in Rows — Increased the clickable area of this button beyond the image itself.
• Crashes in Attachments — Fixed crashes relating to deleting attachments.
• Sidebar Border — Restored the missing border between tabs and sidebar.
• Smaller Fixes and Improvements — Thanks for reporting any issues you encounter!

OmniFocus 2.3.1 — November 3, 2015

OmniFocus 2.3.1 for Mac fixes bugs.

• Drag and Drop — Dragging an action to the last position in a project no longer creates a new project (or an action group).
• Sync — Sync is no longer triggered immediately on new item creation, which resulted in ‘Untitled Item’ rows on other synced devices.
• Duplicate — Duplicate now commits editing before duplicating items.
• Crash in Full-Screen — Fixed a crash closing a full-screen window with an edited note.
• Crash in Settings — Fixed a crash viewing the sync log.
• Crash in Chinese — Typing “off” with a Chinese Keyboard no longer causes OmniFocus to crash.
• View Options — Fixed problems with text wrapping and clipping in some localizations.
• Tab Highlights — These are no longer drawn upside-down.
• Preferences — Prevented [SHORT] and [LONG] from appearing next to some as yet un-localized strings.

OmniFocus 2.3 adds a new layout option for the outline and fixes bugs in OS X El Capitan.

• "Custom Columns” Layout — A new Layout pane has been added to OmniFocus Preferences. Fluid Layout is the one you’ve been using since OmniFocus 2 shipped. In Custom Columns layout, horizontal space is redistributed automatically between the columns as you resize the window, with columns whose entries are likely to be shorter staying close together. Customers with Pro can choose which layout to use per perspective via the View popover in the toolbar. For more information, check out OmniFocus Help > Preferences > Layout.
• Title Folding — Use Show Full Item Title > When Selected in the View menu to only show the first line of items’ titles and keep rows vertically compact. Item titles are automatically expanded to show the full title when you select a row.
• Sync Log — Sync Preferences now includes a sync log (in Show Sync Details).
• Note Buttons — Both Fluid and Custom Columns layout use a new note button. If an item has a note, the chevron on its note button indicates the action that OmniFocus will take when you click the button. Clicking a note button with a downward pointing chevron expands the note. Clicking a note button with an upward pointing chevron collapses it.
• Status Circles — The indicator for repeating tasks looks more like small, repeating status circles now (and less like the elipsis button in apps like iTunes and Music).
• El Capitan — Fixed bugs and visual glitches in OS X El Capitan.
• Sync Conflict — Fixed a bogus sync conflict resulting in the error message “Unable to synchronize database with server; The local database appears to have been reset and is no longer able to reach transaction identifiers”
• Attachment Window — Greatly improved performance when deleting a large number of attachments.
• Documentation — Updated the docs for new features and generally improved them.
• Smaller Fixes and Improvements — A great number of bugs have been fixed as part of implementing the new layout options.
