Version 7.3 - Thursday, March 23, 2017

OmniGraffle 7.3 improves Presentation Mode by adding support for artboards, zoom controls, and a sidebar for navigation. Use arrow keys to navigate between artboards (left/right) and canvases (up/down). Move your mouse to the left edge of the screen to reveal the presentation sidebar. Zoom controls are available in the View menu, and keyboard shortcuts and gestures work too.

• Presenting with Artboards — Added support for presenting artboards in Presentation Mode.
• Zoom Controls when Presenting — Added the ability to zoom and pan in Presentation Mode.
• Presentation Mode Sidebar — Added a sidebar that lists canvases and artboards.
• OmniOutliner Import — Added support for OmniOutliner 5’s .ooutline file format.
• Split Screen — OmniGraffle windows can now share full screen mode with another application using Apple’s Split Screen functionality. You can even have two OmniGraffle windows sharing the same full-screen Space.
• Inspectors — Did you know you can grab individual inspectors and rearrange them? OmniGraffle 7.3 adds grab handle indicators on inspectors to make that more clear.
• Adjustable Shapes — Adjustable shape handles would often be confused with Bézier points and get stuck under resize handles. Now the adjustable shape handles have a different look and get preference when they overlap resize handles.
• Inspecting Locked Objects — Inspector fields now show values for locked objects but prevent editing until the object is unlocked.
• Aligning to Locked Objects — Now you can align unlocked objects to locked objects with the Alignment tools.
• Group Alignment — Fixed a bug causing alignment buttons to be unavailable when one item in the selection was a group.
• Performance — Fixed a memory leak that was causing poor performance on files that were open for a long period of time.
• Performance — Opening and closing the sidebar and inspectors is much smoother now.
• Text Label Performance — Typing in a text label field is no longer excruciatingly slow. The rendering dirt has been cleaned up too.
• Windows and Full Screen — Occasionally when moving documents between two different sized displays or re-opening a document on a different size display the application window wouldn’t adapt correctly. This would also occasionally occur with Full Screen mode when switching displays.
• Auto Layout — Fixed an issue with undoing Auto Layout that would sometimes cause object ID collisions.
• Text Tool — Fixed a bug causing the Text Tool to always be active when selected instead of using the “Keep tool active” Drawing Preference.
• Lines with Labels — Duplicate now includes a line’s label when the line is duplicated.
• Tooltips — Fixed a bug that caused incorrect tooltips for inspector controls.
• Hot Keys — Fixed a bug that caused the Tool Hot Keys to not appear in the Drawing Tools preference pane.
• Rendering — Cleaned up some gray highlight artifacts that would sometimes persist after selecting and moving objects.
• Subgraphs — Fixed a rendering issue with the Outline sidebar tab when editing the contents of a subgraph.
• Stability — Fixed a crash caused by switching from the Selection sidebar tab to the Layers sidebar tab with text selected on the canvas.
• Stability — Fixed a crash that would sometime occur when switching between or closing document windows.

• Stencils Window — The background color now uses the Stencil’s canvas color instead of a sea foam green.

• Text Follows Path — Text labels that are set to follow the path of a line will now account for the stroke width so that they don’t obstruct labels.
• Export — Fixed a bug that caused slashes in canvas names to break the export process.
• Exporting Other OmniGraffle Types — Fixed a bug that causeed all OmniGraffle stencil and OmniGraffle template exports to be OmniGraffle documents instead.

Recent Changes

Version 7.2 - Tuesday, November 8, 2016

OmniGraffle 7.2 adds support for Apple’s new Touch Bar, bringing the tools you use most frequently within finger reach. This version also improves color handling by switching the default color profile from generic RGB to sRGB.

• Color Profiles — sRGB is now the default color profile in OmniGraffle for Mac; this matches OmniGraffle for iOS, Apple’s system default, and the industry standard. The generic RGB profile has been deprecated and colors that are defined in the generic RGB colorspace will be converted to sRGB automatically when the document is opened by modifying the RGB color values so the displayed color remains consistent.
• Touch Bar — OmniGraffle now supports Apple’s new Touch Bar. Many powerful OmniGraffle tools and controls are at your fingertips just above the keyboard.
• Additional SVG support — Added support for fill gradients. SVG supports more granularity than OmniGraffle does, but we convert to OmniGraffle gradients as best we can.
• New Layer from Selection — Fixed a bug where New Layer from Selection was reversing the order of objects.
• Text to Shape — Fixed a bug where placeholder characters were left in the group when ligatures were combined to a single shape.
• Stability — Fixed many of the crashes that you’ve reported. Thanks for sending them in!
