###OmniPlan 2.3 requires Mac OS X 10.8
-
This version of OmniPlan 2.3 employs security features in Mac OS which are new to version 10.8 and will not run on earlier releases of Mac OS X.
- We’ve added some new features (primarily the new constraint types) that earlier versions of OmniPlan for iPad doesn’t understand and upgraded the format of the changelog file we use for syncing changes via WebDAV/Omni Sync Server.
- OmniPlan 2.3 is Sandboxed — OmniPlan now runs in the application Sandbox your computer and your information safe. We have not found a correct way to migrate AppleScripts from the old location to a Sandbox compatible location. Not migrating them at all is the least bad option for now. Users can migrate such scripts themselves by pasting the following into a Terminal window. mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Scripts/com.omnigroup.OmniPlan2; Since document templates need to live in the Sandbox container now, all we ask you for under “Save As Template” is a template name, rather than giving you a whole save panel. The AppleScript export command has been updated to support the App Sandbox.
- Scheduling Influences — We’ve introduced a feature (View ▸ Show Scheduling Influences) to tell you why OmniPlan has scheduled a task when it has. Give it a test drive.
- New Constraint Types — We’ve added support for ‘start no later than’ and ‘end no earlier than’ constraints. The old constraints are refered to as ‘start no earlier than’ and ‘end no later than’.
- Printing — By popular request, headers are now printed at the top of every page.
- Microsoft Project Import and Export — We’ve put a lot of work into improving our handling of Microsoft Project file formats. MPP import has been a major area of focus.
- HTML Template Preferences — HTML Templates are now managed by a new interface in Preferences.
- Document Template Preferences — The Template Preferences pane is more user friendly and now displays some of the basic settings in the template.
- The End of Time — Tasks cannot start before the project start date (or after the end, in backwards projects). OmniPlan 2.3 now greys out the inaccessible time. This feature is enabled in the factory templates but not in existing custom templates until you choose to do so. You might not want to see it on printouts, or at all, so go ahead and turn it off under the View menu.
- Lion Auto Save — OmniPlan now saves your document regularly in the background and integrates with Versions.
