OmniFocus 1.6.3 fixes a timing issue in 1.6.2 which could sometimes cause the app to crash during database optimization.
For those who might have missed what changed in the recent 1.6.2 release, here are its release notes as well:
We've launched our first two iPad apps, OmniGraffle and OmniGraphSketcher! We anticipate that OmniFocus for iPad will be ready in June; for more information on our iPad plans, see blog.omnigroup.com.
Meanwhile, OmniFocus 1.6.2 for iPhone is a minor update to OmniFocus which focuses on workflow improvements and bug fixes.
Workflow
- Groups are now considered actionable. They can block other actions in a sequence, and are eligible to become the first "next action" for a project. Groups are blocked by their children.
- Groups and projects can now appear in Context mode perspectives.
Stability
- Fixed a crash encountered when an omnifocus:///change-setting URL specified a setting which wasn't registered.
- Fixed a crash sometimes encountered when handling a "Send to OmniFocus" request from another app.
- Fixed a crash sometimes encountered when leaving the Nearby list.
- Fixed a crash encountered when deleting an action from the Nearby list.
Bugs
- Fixed a bug where Due Soon, Overdue, and Blocked items wouldn't always update on schedule.
- Fixed a bug which could cause duplication of a repeating due project or group during synchronization.
- Fixed a bug where the Context screen was no longer showing its title.
- Fixed 1.6.1's regressions in navigation, which were causing bugs opening items linked from other apps (particularly calendar alerts) or moved within OmniFocus itself.
- Fixed an issue where editing a task's due date wouldn't always update its overdue status.
Interface Polish
- In Settings, reduced the size of the action buttons and updated the text describing the Safari bookmarklet.
- In Bonjour sync settings, relabeled the "none" entry to say "Connect to database".
