Want to hear what we're working on next? Look for @omnifocus on twitter!
Note: Before updating, we recommend that you either synchronize your data with MobileMe or a WebDAV server (even if you're not using OmniFocus for Mac), or that you have a current backup of your iPhone data in iTunes. (That way you won't lose any data if your update is accidentally interrupted!)
Changes in the minor v1.2.3 release:
- Fixed an issue which could cause attachments to temporarily disappear for users who weren't synchronizing their database. (The attachments would disappear after compacting, then reappear when the database cache was rebuilt.)
- Fixed some more compatibility bugs with operating system prereleases.
- Synchronization clients can lock down fewer transactions, allowing the database to compact more frequently.
- Long names no longer overlap flags in action and project lists.
- When synchronizing a local database with a network database, OmniFocus now verifies that there's some common history between the local and remote databases before mingling their transactions and confusing both copies (leading to errors about multiple root transactions). If there isn't any common history, you'll be prompted to choose one copy or the other.
- Updated the syncing logic to skip over synced perspectives from OmniFocus v1.7 for Mac. (Synchronized perspectives are coming soon!)
Highlights of the recent v1.2 update:
- The Nearby view now displays each context as soon as its distance is determined, rather than waiting to figure out the distance to each context before showing any results. It also scrolls much faster.
- Checkboxes are much easier to touch.
- When creating a new action, the keyboard appears immediately rather than sliding in after the screen.
- On the home screen, Settings have moved to the Info button in the bottom right corner.
- The Reset Database button in Settings will now reset the saved sync password in addition to the database, and will then take you back to the original welcome screen.
- Syncing automatically compacts the database on a regular basis, but when syncing is not enabled there's now a Compact Database button in Settings. (There's also some text there indicating how many tasks are stored in how many zip files, so you can tell whether your database could benefit from compacting.)
- Added underlying support for the new autocomplete settings for projects and groups which are coming in OmniFocus v1.6 for Mac.
- Actions without contexts are no longer considered unavailable.
