This release fixes a few bugs in 5.1.3. There are fixes for Blogger, AppleScript, and MobileMe settings. There are also a fix for a display issue in Snow Leopard. Tags will be searched case-insensitively. This release also fixes a bug with the Backup progress sheet.

MacJournal 5.1.3

Get the final release at Mariner or from the Check for Updates item in the Help menu. It's pretty similar to the final beta with a few minor changes. Stay tuned for future plans.

MacJournal 5.1.3b7

Get it here.

This is the release candidate; there will be little to no changes for the release. This beta fixes a bug in backups and updates the Google framework.

MacJournal 5.1.3b6

Get it here.

This beta adds some fixes for some rare crashes. There are several improvements in searching: the selections will be easier to see during a search, multiple search terms show up in PDF documents, and fixed behavior when searching only for text. Some new AppleScript commands were added to deal with plain versus rich text. There's also a fix for the live word count accuracy.

MacJournal 5.1.3b5

Get it here.

This beta adds three localizations: Norwegian, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese (the latter two are still incomplete). Please let me know of any problems with these new localizations besides some missing strings in the Chinese ones. Backup behavior and resiliency has been improved. If you were seeing backup errors before, they should go away and backups should be happening (they were likely not happening at all on your machine, even on 5.1.2). The style of journals in the sidebar has changed a bit. There are also new versions of the Media Browser and the Google code, and some fixes for interacting with iWeb.

MacJournal 5.1.3b4

Get it now.

It's a modest list of improvements, but then again, it is a modest release overall. A few minor UI fixes, some new hidden prefs, and a fix for Japanese blogging servers round up the list of changes. This release has been a bit slow because I've been working on future releases at the same time, but expect the final release soon.

MacJournal 5.1.3b3

Get it here.

I intended for this to be the final release, but it's going to have to be a beta for now. I don't expect anything to change between now and then, and "then" is hopefully next week. There's not much in this build either: an AppleScript fix, and import fix for RTFDs with attachments stored externally, a entry deletion fix for WordPress, a fix for Full Screen key equivalents in the F1-4 range, and better error reporting for backup issues. That's about it. Let me know of any problems.
