OmniFocus for Mac 1.9.1 has been submitted to the Mac App Store.

If you bought OmniFocus directly from us, you can download 1.9.1 here. Or just check for updates from within the app.

OmniFocus 1.9.1 for Mac improves compatibility with future operating system updates and improves support for date entry in non-US locales.

Date Entry

• When entering a date, weekday and month abbreviations are now accepted without trailing punctuation in all locales. (For example, “Di” et al. in German.)
• When entering a date, localized variants of h, hour, and hours are now recognized when parsing the time component.
• When entering a date, ASCII equivalents are now accepted. For example, “miércoles” and “miercoles” are now treated as equivalent in Spanish.
• Fixed a bug where entering a full day name didn’t work in certain locales if the day was prefixed by a month abbreviation. (For example, “martes” in Spanish.)
• When entering a date in locales where short day names and short month names share the same abbreviation, the short day name is preferred.
• Fixed a bug where the abbreviation for tomorrow in Italian prevented you from entering a date as Domencia.
• Corrected date parsing in the French localization such that “vendredi prochain” and “dernier vendredi” are equivalent to “last friday” and “next friday”.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed a bug in Sync Setup which prevented successful configuration using the Omni Sync Server method if your username contained an @ symbol.
• Fixed a regression where holding down the Option key to reverse a Perspective's “Open in New Window” when choosing a Perspective from the menu bar only worked if the option key was held down when you clicked in the menu bar.
• The “Send to Omnifocus Inbox” now works correctly with OmniPlan 2 and Mac App Store editions of OmniPlan.
• Fixed the Help button on the Sync Clients sheet.
• Fixed a regression where using Command-Return to create a new Project or Context didn't leave the field in edit mode.
• Relaxed the modifier key requirements for global quick entry keyboard shortcut.
• The Inbox badge no longer counts items blocked by a future start date.
• Worked around an OS bug which prevented clipping certain messages with attachments from Mail.
• Fixed a bug which prevented the Clippings Shortcut from being correctly set in a new user account.

Localization

• Fixed a localization bug where the Action inspector repetition text was incorrectly in French for the Italian localization.
• Fixed a problem where OmniFocus help could not be loaded for certain localizations.
• Additional fixes to various localizations.

Is that a typo? "improvements to Forecast mode"

[Jim Correia]

abowen500 — Yes, it is a typo, which I've corrected. (Part of the release notes header from OmniFocus for iPad were inadvertently copied and pasted.) Sorry for the confusion.

Any idea when this will be visible in the App Store?

[Lizard]

We don't have much visibility into Apple's review & approval process. Generally, we find out only a few hours before it's live.

I've installed the 1.9.1 upgrade running under Lion. I noticed in the release notes there's no mention of the enhanced Lion support, such as those just updated for OO and OG. I appreciate the versions / autosave features are probably irrelevant for OF given it's DB sync implementation, but I'd have thought fullscreen would have been added to this update (which it isn't). Can we get some clarification as to why it was updated for OO & OG but not OF?

Cheers

Fullscreen is something we want to do for OmniFocus, but it fits better with some other upcoming changes, so it didn't make sense to cram it in right now. And versions, as you said, is far more complicated and less beneficial for OmniFocus than for our traditional document-based applications.

Thanks for the clarification Lizard. I'm going to choose to interpret your response as "we're adding fullscreen support to the upcoming OF 2.0 release with a redesigned UI" ;-)
