OmniFocus for Mac 2.5.3

May 3, 2016

Requires OS X 10.10

This release fixes bugs and readies OmniFocus for a new sync format, coming in version 2.6.

  • Sync — Made several changes to sync which should decrease the likelihood of “Replace Database and Start Syncing?” prompts.
  • Sync — Made a change to help recognize an OmniFocus database modified by a newer version and present the correct error instead of silently failing.
  • Memory Leaks — Fixed several memory leaks that we believe may trigger a crash.

OmniFocus for iOS 2.14.1

May 2, 2016

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of customers receiving a prompt to choose local or server database by detecting when the current device was so out of date that it had been removed from the client pool.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.

OmniFocus for Mac 2.5.2

April 26, 2016

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.

OmniFocus for iPhone 2.14

April 26, 2016

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.
