OmniFocus Release Notes - The Omni Group

OmniFocus for iPhone 2.14.1

Requires iOS 9

This release is focused on improving Sync:

Sync — Reduced the likelihood of customers receiving a prompt to choose local or server database by detecting when the current device was so out of date that it had been removed from the client pool. In these cases we now just take the server database and merge any local changes to it if necessary.
TaskPaper Format — Fixed a problem where projects were being exported with the wrong @autodone setting.
Crashes — Fixed three of our most common crashes in OmniFocus 2.14.
URL Crash — Fixed a crash when OmniFocus was cold-launched via an /add URL.
URL Crash — Fixed a crash when a malformed attachment was added via URL.

Requires OS X 10.10

This release fixes bugs:

Crash — Fixed a crash when tabbing out of a completion field in the outline after dismissing the list of matches.
News — We now behave better when you try to view news while offline.

Requires iOS 9

This release adds features for automation:

Pasteboard Format — OmniFocus now uses TaskPaper text as a pasteboard format (on iOS only, for now), which means much more metadata is available to other applications when copying and pasting. For an example, copy a repeating action that has a project and context assigned and paste into Mail or Notes.
omnifocus:///add? URLs — Many more parameters are available for /add urls. For more information, check out the draft documentation thread on discourse.
x-callback URLs — We now support x-callback URLS for /add, /paste, and navigation URLs like /inbox. We also support x-cancel and x-success.
Dates and Times — Updated the parser used when processing /add URLs to be more flexible.
Crash — Fixed a crash when trying to delete the No Context row, which is no longer possible.

Requires OS X 10.10

OmniFocus 2.5.1 adds News and fixes bugs:

News — Added a way for us to tell you about important stuff like OS updates that might break compatibility. You’ll be notified about news via text in OmniFocus’ title bar, and not by OS X notifications or anything else that might interrupt your workflow.
Correct Spelling Automatically — Fixed a bug where changes to “Correct spelling automatically” in OmniFocus wouldn’t stick.
Key Loop — The tab key now behaves more sensibly in most situations.
Crash — Fixed a crash switching Font Collections while a note field was open for editing.
Text Layout — Fixed a number of layout problems, especially on OS X 10.10.
Sidebar — Fixed a visual glitch in the form of an errant horizontal line.
Georgia Font Collection — Made the sidebar tab titles bold to improve legibility.
Notes — Fixed some problems with notes not updating on theme change.
Performance — Fixed poor performance due to a large number of completed items in a given container.
Clean-up — Fixed a problem where items dragged to Inbox would be immediately cleaned up, so the drag appeared to have no effect.
Theme Changes — Fixed a problem where badge colors failed to update on theme change.
Russian — Fixed alignment problems in Sync Preferences.
Japanese — Fixed a layout problem in the About window after purchasing Pro.
