This fixes a regression in Quick Note and MobileMe syncing that could cause a crash. It also improves MobileMe upload and resizing images for uploading to WordPress.

MacJournal 5.2b10
Get it here.
An assorted collection of minor enhancements and bug fixes. Recorded video should play back correctly now. Accessibility and VoiceOver support has been improved. Uploading to MobileMe via the Share menu should work better. When both the sidebar and vertical entries list are on the screen, only one set of Add and Action buttons will be visible. If you open the File menu and hold the Control, you'll see a new item to add a journal at the top level, no matter what is selected. There's more, so check out the Version History in the release if you want, and, as always, let me know of any issues.

MacJournal 5.2b9
Get it here.
This beta has as few fixes here and there. Really, the release is closing down at this point (hopefully). Emailing non-textual entries (such as PDFs) should work now. You can specify a translucent (or completely clear) background color for Full Screen if you want to see your desktop. There are small fixes for MobileMe HTML upload, back/forward history navigation, maintaining selection while deleting items, and configuring attachment servers. The one note that is worth mentioning by itself is the iWeb functionality: it's never worked very well due to a very limited interface made available by Apple. An interface they have chosen to remove entirely, it seems. So, for now, the corresponding functionality has been removed from MacJournal while I investigate another solution.

MacJournal 5.2b8
Get it here.
This beta has some syncing fixes and some other unrelated upgrades. The old simultaneous-use warning that was added in 5.1 is gone, in favor of watching the file system for changes and updating automatically. There's a fix for tabs, and for time zone switches in the calendar. The recording devices in the pref pane should update more consistently now, and page setup information is now included with files dragged out. So perhaps there's something there for everyone, but let me know of any problems.
UPDATE: There was a regression with rich text entries with attachments in beta 8. I've updated the link above to point to a fixed release, 5.2b8.1. If you downloaded 5.2b8, you should see it offer the update.

MacJournal 5.2b7
Get it here.
Search is now entirely done in the background, making large data sets and/or lots of smart journals a lot faster. There was also a bug introduced in one of the betas that could cause an issue if you edit an entry in a smart journal but this has been fixed here. The file naming scheme for attachments in HTML file has been changed to reduce duplicates on the server. There are a few smaller fixes, such as the appearance of MacJournal in the Spotlight menu on non-English systems, typing styles between entries, a weird tab bar one, and others. Check it out and let me know of any issues. And to my US-based audience: Happy Thanksgiving.

There's a fix for searching so it won't rebuild the index during searching in a certain case and a few small UI tweaks. There are a lot of under the hood changes for new syncing features, so please let me know if you experience any issues with this release.

MacJournal 5.2b5
Get it here.
This is a somewhat smaller beta release, but there are some fixes that I wanted to get in people's hands. There was a case when trying to save checkboxes in a template that would go awry and a case where the search index would need to be rebuilt incorrectly (which can take a while depending on your data).

MacJournal 5.2b4
Get it here.
This beta fixes support for posting to Atom blogs (Blogger not included; that has worked just fine). There is also a fix to restore 10.4 compatibility and another regression from 5.1.4 when moving entries between journals. You may not see save prompts at quit anymore, but worry not: everything is being saved anyway. Let me know of any problems.

This beta fixes a few key bugs: a crash while searching, a crash while customizing the toolbar on Leopard, a problem with dates when switching back and forth between these betas and 5.1.4, and a rare issue with losing entry text. Please let me know of any problems that you see.

MacJournal 5.2b2
Get it here.
Nothing too exciting, but there are some fixes you'll want if you are using beta 1. There's an important fix for Tiger. There's a few small usability improvements, like being able to highlight sections of text in a separate editing window. There's also a few fixes for small regressions since 5.1.4. Check out the full details in the version history if you are interested.

MacJournal 5.2b1
Get it here.
This is a larger release than 5.1.4, but smaller than 5.1. It's largely to support a future iPhone client, but there are some features in there for desktop users as well. For example, LiveJournal users can download more than 50 entries. Also, non-main documents are backed up. Quick Note works better on Snow Leopard as well. However, this release is already feature complete, so nothing else will be added except for bug fixes.
There are a fair amount of under-the-covers changes as well, particularly in blogging, so please try it out and let me know if anything breaks.
9/22 Update: I fixed the beta expiration date for non-US users. If you were seeing a problem, please re-download 5.2b1. There are no other changes in the fixed build.

MacJournal 5.1.4
Snow Leopard is on the Prowl! The Cat is out of the bag! More tortured cat metaphors!
Yes, Snow Leopard is out and so is MacJournal 5.1.4. If you use the former, you'll want the latter as well. There was only one cosmetic issue that I found in 5.1.3 (as well as a rare crash), but that is fixed in 5.1.4, along with some other things. It's a benefit to all three OSes on which it is supported. Download it at Mariner now or get it from the Check For Updates in a previous version of 5.x.

MacJournal 5.1.4b4
You can get it here, however please try to update MacJournal from within the application by using the MacJournal or Help menu to Check for Updates.
This beta is pretty small. I decided to do it to test a new version of Sparkle in the last update and some build environment changes in this release. There is also a long-in-the-making data loss fix that is also in this release. I expect the final release to have no additional changes and be out some time next week.

MacJournal 5.1.4b3
Get it here.
This beta has a few fixes here and there as well as some updates to third-party components that MacJournal uses, like Sparkle. Some rare crashes are fixed, such as one opening the Inspector and editing links on Snow Leopard. A bug where the crash reporter would show up each launch is fixed as well. Tiger users will note that searches from the toolbar will no longer highlight text within the PDF as that was causing a reproducible crash. The issue is not present in Leopard and is still available there.

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.
