OmniFocus 2.0.1 is a minor update that fixes a number of bugs in the initial release of OmniFocus 2.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the Send to Inbox service did not work correctly in Standard when clipping from Mail, Safari, OmniWeb, Chrome, or Finder.
• The note in the Inspector is now editable for sidebar selections.
• Fixed a hang when replacing the server database if OmniFocus needed to prompt for your sync credentials.
• Fixed a potential crash when using undo/redo and certain custom Perspectives.
• Fixed a regression where the MailTags clipping handler was not called when clipping from Mail with MailTags installed.
• Fixed a bug where selected items in the sidebar or content outline were not made available to items in the Services menu.
• Fixed the visibility of the placeholder text when editing the Project and Context of an action or project.
• Fixed a bug where the badges in the Forecast calendar could get out of sync when items transitioned from due soon to overdue status.
• Fixed a bug where where OmniFocus failed to report an error message when trying to open a linked attachment that had been deleted.
• Fixed a bug where parent contexts in the sidebar incorrectly had a disclosure icon when child contexts were excluded by the current view filter.

Changes

• Improved interaction with the keychain when there are stored credentials for multiple Omni Sync Server accounts.
• OmniFocus no longer needs to be quit and relaunched in order to use AppleScript after upgrading to Pro.
• Corrected the feedback address used by the Contact Omni menu item.

With its clean and uncluttered interface, OmniFocus 2 for Mac brings all the power you’ve come to expect and puts your projects and actions front and center. Even with the shiny new interface, we kept the original data format, so OmniFocus 2 syncs just fine not only with OmniFocus 2 for iPhone, but all three editions of OmniFocus 1 as well. OmniFocus 2 requires Mac OS X 10.9.2 or higher.

Standard and Pro

OmniFocus Standard provides the core functionality most folks need to get things done in a straightforward manner.

OmniFocus Pro adds power tools for those who like to tune and customize their productivity system: Custom Perspectives, Focus, and AppleScript.

Perspectives

• Perspectives now hang out in tabs on the left edge of the window. We hand-crafted several perspectives for your convenience.
• Projects, Contexts, and Inbox perspectives are similar to the OmniFocus 1 views they descended from, but have redesigned View Options.
• Forecast is a new date-centric perspective for viewing your actions and Calendar events together, to keep your schedule in balance.
• Review is a new perspective optimized to help you zip through the weekly(?) review you try to remember to do.
• Completed and Changed perspectives offer a historical view of your data.

Other Design Changes

• Status Circles provide a colorful nexus of information about each task: is it overdue, flagged, complete, repeating?
• Quick Open lets you jump to any project, context, or perspective you can name, from a single keyboard shortcut.
• A guided first launch experience to help you get off on the right synced foot.
• Revised some terminology:
  • “start date” → “defer date”
  • “next action” → “first available”
• Preferences got a make-over. Outlining behaviors for Escape, Return, and other keys in the main outline default to the New-Fangled (aka “Modern") set, but if you prefer the tried-and-true OmniFocus 1 behavior, you can opt for “Classic Mode” in the General Preferences. Default defer time is also customizable.
• Inspectors are now embedded in the window, so you can keep all the details together, especially in full screen.

Behind the Scenes

• The Anonymizer crafts a copy of your database with item names and notes replaced with X’s and such, for those times when we really need to see the structure of your database to chase down a particularly elusive bug.
• Deep adoption of modern Apple technologies, poised for whatever they announce next.
• AppleScript: While we’ve tried to maintain backwards compatibility where possible, some changes were necessary, particularly in terminology referring to user interface elements.
• Backups are now limited to 100 and automatically discarded as newer ones are created.

OmniFocus 1.10.6 for Mac is a minor update which fixes a couple of compatibility issues with recent OS releases.

• OmniFocus opts in to automatic graphics switching, significantly reducing the likelihood that OmniFocus will appear in the list of applications using significant energy on Mavericks.
• Fixed a problem which caused OmniFocus to report that a file “could not be handled because OmniFocus cannot open files in the ‘Document’ format.” rather than creating the default database for some users on OS X 10.8.5 or Mavericks.
