Here are some of the changes in the 1.5.3 update:
- Fixed a crash which happened on iPhone OS 3.1 when leaving the Nearby screen.
- Added a setting for whether the app badge counts flagged actions.
- Updated support for viewing attached Microsoft Office documents to work with iPhone OS 3.0.
- Fixed a bug where OmniFocus would continue to generate the OmniFocus Reminder calendar even after reminders had been turned off.
- Fixed the crash when pressing the Reset Database button in the Settings screen.
- OmniFocus will no longer report an out-of-date error about not being able to find a Bonjour sync server.
- Improved syncing performance by reducing the amount of sync history (zip files) required to keep multiple systems synchronized.
- Fixed a bug where syncing a change to reactivate a folder wouldn't always update the derived state of its child folders and projects.
- Fixed a bug where OmniFocus wouldn't always detect conflicts between incompatible sync databases.
Highlights of OmniFocus 1.5 - 1.5.2:
- Added calendar-based notifications for those who are syncing via MobileMe or WebDAV. (These are time-based rather than push-based, so they'll work when offline and don't require the Mac app.)
- The default due time is now 5pm rather than the beginning of the day.
- OmniFocus now displays nearby contexts using a map. Touch a pin to see all the tasks in the corresponding context.
- You can Cut, Copy, and Paste entire actions by holding down a checkbox in an action list. You can paste into an empty list by holding the "No Actions" text.
- You can search through all your projects and actions using the new Search screen.
- In Projects and Contexts screens, you can select All Actions to show a grouped list of all actions.
- You can set up repeating actions and projects using the new Repeat screen.
- Action lists now display each action's due date.
- Web links in notes now open inside OmniFocus (rather than launching Safari).
- Added settings for whether the app badge counts overdue actions, due soon actions, both, or neither.
- When selecting a start or due date, you can now tap multiple times on the Day, Week, and Month buttons to increment the date further.
- Copying an action now places its task XML, its title (as text), and its omnifocus: link on the pasteboard. You can now paste a link from one task into the notes of another task, then click on the link to switch over to the linked item.
- Added calendar-based notifications for those who are syncing via MobileMe or WebDAV. (These are time-based rather than push-based, so they'll work when offline and don't require the Mac app or a notification service.)
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!)
