OmniPlan for Mac 3.1.1

November 5, 2015

Requires OS X 10.10

OmniPlan 3.1.1 is a minor update which improves localizations and fixes some stability issues and other bugs. (OmniPlan 3.1 added support for Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish.)

  • "None” Filter — You can now add a filter which requires that “none of the following are true,” in addition to the “any” or “all” options.
  • URL support — You can now use an omniplan:///change-preference?key=value URL to change a hidden preference (such as your language setting).
  • Task Dependencies — Fixed a bug introduced in version 3.1 which caused some task prerequisites to be ignored during scheduling.
  • Document Refresh — Documents can now refresh in place multiple times when their underlying content changes, without closing and reopening all their windows. This improves the behavior of syncing through OmniPresence and iCloud Drive, as well as the behavior of restoring an older version of a document using Time Machine or one of the options in File > Revert To.
  • Prototype Tasks — Prototype tasks now remember resource assignments across file loads.
  • Date Headers in Reports — Fixed a bug where a report’s date headers would sometimes have extra copies of fragments of nearby headers.
  • Network View — Printing a network view will no longer invert its headers and footers, and those headers and footers will now print the correct page number on each page.
  • Stability — Fixed a crash encountered when unnecessarily updating some off-screen views during save.

OmniPlan 3.1 adds support for Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish. It also fixes some stability issues and other bugs.

  • Localizations — We’ve added support for Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish. If you notice issues in any of these newly supported languages, please let us know!
  • Inspectors — Inspectors now remember whether you last had them open or closed.
  • Toolbar Buttons — Updated the Graphite variant of our toolbar buttons to match our default toolbar buttons.
  • Dashboard Colors — Custom project colors are now restored when opening a dashboard.
  • Task View — Fixed a drawing bug which could cause squished-looking headers at the top of the Gantt chart.
  • Resource View — Fixed an issue where the resource load graph could draw bar graphs with incorrect heights in the Resource View.
  • Resource Assignments — Fixed an issue where “Adjust Assigned Amounts” could overload a resource with too much work.
  • Free Slack Calculation — Fixed computation of free slack for start-to-start dependencies on group tasks.
  • AppleScript — Creating a task or resource from AppleScript will now assign a name to the newly created item, rather than leaving its name undefined (which could potentially lead to a crash).
  • Stability — Fixed a crash that could occur when saving and closing an OmniPlan document after leveling, our most common crash.
  • Stability — Fixed a crash involving 10 or more named styles in the Styles View.
  • Stability — Exporting an OmniGraffle document should no longer crash.
  • Stability — Fixed a crash that would occur when exporting a Gantt Only PDF.
  • Stability — Fixed a crash using the Applescript publishing action.
  • Stability — Fixed a crash encountered when saving a duplicate copy of an open document.
  • Stability — Fixed a crash sometimes encountered when loading a document.
  • Stability — Fixed a crash when printing a large network view.
  • Console Errors — Fixed some code which could trigger “Invalid context” messages on the console when exporting an image of an outline view during a save operation.

Welcome to OmniPlan 3!

OmniPlan 3 introduces a set of new, powerful features wrapped in a clean and modern interface — while keeping things simple so you can focus on the actual tasks at hand.

  • Standard And Pro — OmniPlan Standard provides the core functionality that most users need to plan a project. OmniPlan Pro takes your project to the next level with collaboration, forecasting, and reporting features.
  • User Interface — Out with the old, in with the new! The Gantt chart and resource timeline now sport a flat, modern design, and the inspectors live in their new home in the sidebar.
  • Network View — An elegant and easy way to rapidly prototype and visualize your project’s flow as a network diagram of nodes connected by dependencies.
  • Multi-Project Dashboard (PRO) — See everything at once! Assemble a beautiful dashboard to review your projects at a glance, and see how busy or idle every team member is across all of them.
  • Earned Value Analysis (PRO) — Time is money! Measure a project’s progress at any given point in the schedule and forecast its completion date and final cost, without having to remember all of those EVA formulas.
  • Meeting Task Type — A new resource allocation option that allows you to specify if multiple resources need to work on a task independently or simultaneously.
  • Auto-Effort Estimation (PRO) — Think some tasks might take longer or finish earlier than expected? Let OmniPlan assign your best and worst estimates to account for every scenario.
  • Monte Carlo Simulation (PRO) — Run multiple simulations in seconds to forecast milestone completion dates with varying levels of confidence.
  • Off-Day Styling — Want to see every single off-hour time period, just the weekends, or just the holidays on your Gantt chart? You can now show or hide them all!
  • Reports (PRO) — Generate project reports with a single click! We’ve created gorgeous, customizable HTML templates that are dressed to impress at your next status meeting.
  • Unlinked Duration and Effort — Set different values for a task’s effort and duration, then let OmniPlan crunch the numbers for your resource assignment percentage.
  • Display Task Hierarchy — Have a lot of repetitive tasks with the same name? Differentiate them by showing the full hierarchical path of a task and its parent group in the task outline and Gantt chart.
