New Features
- A new Connections Inspector has been added to manage magnet placement on shapes and overall connectivity for objects.
- A new marker fill style and hand-drawn stroke style have been added to help objects have a more 'analog' style.
- Inspectors have been remade in a lighter visual style and have had their interface polished in various places.
- Users running OmniGraffle on the iPad 2 can now take advantage of the new screen mirroring.
- Performance when working with placed images has been greatly improved.
- Text editing has been improved, thanks in part to work done on OmniOutliner for iPad. Auto-correct, auto-capitalize, paragraph formatting, and many bug fixes have been made in this release.
