OmniFocus for iOS 2.13.1

April 5, 2016

Requires iOS 9

OmniFocus 2.13.1 — April 1, 2016

This release fixes a regression in OmniFocus 2.13 that could leave the app unresponsive.

  • Hang — Fixed a problem where OmniFocus could become unresponsive when too many completed items existed in a container (like the Inbox or a project).
  • Chinese — Fixed a problem where the string for “postponed” wouldn’t display properly.
  • Search — Fixed several crashes deleting items from search results.
  • Paste — New items pasted from a list should now maintain their original order.

OmniFocus for Mac 2.5

March 28, 2016

Requires OS X 10.10

OmniFocus 2.5 for Mac adds a Style preference pane that lets you customize OmniFocus visually.

  • Styles — Added a Style Preference Pane, where you can choose between built-in font and color collections or import and export your own.
  • Crash Recovery — If the app was launched with the Shift key held, we now reset style preferences to their default values so you can work around launch crashes triggered by bad style customizations.
  • Sync — Added a quiescence timer so that we can block integrating sync changes while you are actively typing (these integrations could cause inadvertent deletion, especially in notes and titles).
  • Dates — Inherited dates are now italicized to differentiate them from explicitly-set dates.
  • Outline View — The outline now always reclaims space after a selection change that changes row heights.
  • Switching Apps — We now commit partial edits when switching to another application with an outline or inspector field active.
  • Clippings — Updated the OmniPlan Clipping handler to work with OmniPlan 3.
  • Project Order — Fixed a long-standing bug where the order of Projects would get re-arranged temporarily. This also sometimes affected re-ordering the sidebar manually.
  • Sync Setup — We now present a helpful error when an account can’t be found, rather than a rather un-helpful one.
  • Inspector — Inspector text fields (including Note) now retain focus when switching between applications.
  • Search — The Go to Search Field menu item no longer stops working after editing the toolbar.
  • TextExpander — Fill-in Snippets once again work in the Sidebar.
  • Crash — Fixed a crash opening an image attachment that was pasted from OmniGraffle.
  • Sidebar Badges — Fixed a problem with sidebar badges when transitioning from one digit to two (or vice versa) being displayed in the badge.
  • Push — Fixed a bug where “Initializing” would show indefinitely after enabling push.
  • Calendar Apps — When clicking “View in Calendar”, if Fantastical or BusyCal is set as your default calendar app, the day containing the event being inspected will be opened in that application instead of Apple Calendar.
  • Type-Ahead Selection — Type-ahead selection has been disabled to avoid some situations where it could result in inadvertent deletion of items.
  • Outlining Keyboard Shortcuts — Bare reorganize right ‘r’ in the sidebar outline is now disabled if the operation would cause the item’s type to be converted and disappear from the sidebar.
  • Localizations — Localized some previously-un-localized items. Fixed a bug in Chinese where the review intervals in Dates & Times Preferences use the same character for days, weeks, and months. More work remains.
  • Documentation — Updated the In-App Help.

OmniFocus for iPhone 2.13

March 23, 2016

Requires iOS 9

This release fixes bugs and adds a way for us to tell you about critical updates.

  • News — This feature will only be used to inform you of important information: when a new major version has been released, for example, or if action is required to prevent data loss. When there isn’t any news, you shouldn’t notice anything different, but when there is, we’ll badge the Settings icon and add a News row.
  • Peek/Pop — We now provide options for Flag, Due Today, and Delete when you Peek the parent row while viewing a project.
  • Sync Icon — Fixed cases of the animated sync icon overlapping the static one during sync.
  • Forecast — Forecast due and defer fields now show the full date rather than time when the date doesn’t match the Forecast date.
  • View Popover — This now responds to automatic color palette changes.
  • Secret Bar — Fixed problems with the secret bar and showing and hiding it.
  • Rename — Hierarchical names in the project and context pickers weren’t always updated after renaming a parent; now they are.
  • Localizations — Updated all localizations and fixed some errors along the way.
