WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.5.1:

Stability & Big Fixes

    • Thanks to an attachment bug in rc 1 and rc 2 that was fixed before 1.5 GM, it was possible to create files that would crash the GM build. These files no longer cause a crash (and no longer attempt to load the corrupted attachments).
    • Filtering based on custom data worked only with a very limited set of characters in the custom data key and could provoke a crash. This has been fixed.
    • Fixed a crash leveling selected tasks.
    • Partially completed tasks assigned to resources whose efficiency is not 100% will now level properly.
    • Fixed horizontal scrolling in the gantt chart with a Mighty Mouse or trackpad.
    • In Display Preferences, the "Week of Quarter" now behave properly in the Header Format token fields instead of showing up as "%[opWW]". The two digit format now prepends a leading '0' for single digit weeks.
    • Filtering for blank values in custom data columns is now supported.
    • Fixed a crash accessing the open panel on Tiger.
    • Fixed alert and possible crash accessing the Display preferences on Tiger. This problem was introduced by the "Week of Quarter" token fix from rc 1.
    • Changing custom data in the inspector now refreshes the value in the outline and Gantt view.
    • Fixed a case where the mouse up event was being lost during drags on the Gantt View, with the effect that you're stuck in the drag until you click somewhere.
    • The status value of task groups containing only milestones will now be "completed" when the final milestone is marked completed. This change will now propagate up to ancestors as needed.
    • Fixed rounding inconsistencies in scheduling non-100% efficient, non-100% unit assignments that could result in resource leveling crashes.
    • Fixed a crash calculating the end date for task groups omitting child tasks that are filtered out.
    • CVS and Subversion directories inside the QuickLook preview are now carried along when a plan is saved.
    • Leveling should now completely ignore filters. In earlier 1.5 releases it ignored them at the top level, then applied them at greater depth. In AppleScript, the "tasks" property was applying filtering with the same inconsistency.
    • Rescheduling now ignores filters.
    • Fixed a memory corruption error when undoing adding or pasting a task. This typically resulted in an NSUndoManager error but results could be unpredictable.
    • Gantt view no longer gets stuck displaying "lock" handles when hovering over tasks if the command key is not down.
    • Fixed another undo stack corruptor.
    • Page headers and footers do a better job of accounting for print scaling.
    • Using the forward delete key in empty note fields no longer results in an alert panel.
    • Arrowing up/down through field editors in the task outline view was recalculating the position of every Gantt bar, just in case it may have moved (perhaps due to unfolding text). This now only happens if something does move, which should improve responsiveness in typical cases.
    • Setting the alternate row color now takes immediate effect on both the Gantt chart and task outline view.
    • Reverted the optimization in rc 3 that improved the responsiveness when arrowing up and down through field editors in the task outline view. It caused dependency lines to be drawn incomprehensibly.
    • Undo after deleting tasks will now restore any dependencies they had. In prior versions, a dependency would not be restored if the task deleted was the prerequisite.
    • Fixed one more undo stack corruptor and crasher. If the amount of a resource assigned to a task was modified (either explicitly or by leveling) and then the task was deleted, then undoing those two operations would lead to errors or a crash.
    • Fixed a possible crash if the "Connection" or "Assignment" toolbar items were removed and then re-added to the toolbar.
    • HTML Full Report exports will no longer have black areas in the gantt and timeline images if the user previously exported an image with only the gantt chart, the timeline view, or either outline.
  • AppleScript
    • OmniPlan's custom window properties were always returning "missing value" when displaying the task view. "Task columns" was returning "missing value" regardless of what view was displayed. Now they return the appropriate value.
  • Localizations
    • Addressed some issues with the Japanese localization.
  • Security
    • OmniPlan is now code signed to ensure its integrity and security.
    • REQUIREMENTS
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later.

    &&&&&&&&&&&&&  how the feck did this get to version 1,5,1 already? about a fortnight ago it was still in beta.

    jeez! developers release new versions of their software more often than they change their underpants these days. whatever happened to taking a bit of time to bug-check before you let it out the door? that way you don't need a new release every ten minutes.  (Version 1.5.1)

    VINODLIVE  Price is the major deterrent. Hoping for it to come down. Till then I will be contented with LiquidPlanner online.  (Version 1.5.1 rc 2)

    PUFFINZ  As an integrated scheduler at a major Aerospace program, I found some features lacking in this product. How do you insert columns to see Start and Finish dates? How do you insert customized filters and sorts? How can float analysis be conducted in this tool? Is there a total slack/float column?

    Also, I have to work with my "PC" friends and need something that exports to MS Project in a workable fashion. I was working with a client in Canada and using the beta version. I was working with Concept Pro's Project, but had some problems exporting into MS Project. WHen I exported the file as an MS Project XML file, MS Project could not read the file. When I exported the file as an MPX file, then all the tasks were not set up as "as early as possible" or "early dates". Thus, changing the lags on the predessessor or successor didn't move the start and finish dates.

    OmniPlan needs to workout this export function. Also, I work with projects that are 1000s of tasks lines long, the predessessor for a particular task could be several hundered lines above...the OmniPlan program doesn't appear to let you enter in an activity ID or a line number as a predessessor or successor.  (Version 1.1.2)

    MLOWE969  This program is a friggin masterpiece. I remember the days when Windows users would stare over my shoulder at BBEdit and cry. It's not that they have stopped, but OMNIPLAN is a solid successor to this punishing OSX realization. I highly recommend this product. I've been using in production strength projects ever since I started the Demo. I proudly licensed it and will upgrade forever.   (Version 1.1.1 beta 1)
