MacJournal 6.0 and 6.0.1b1

As you may have seen from a few other websites, MacJournal 6 was released last week! After 14 months of development, I’m thrilled that it’s out for everyone to use. I’m very proud of this release.

However, any large release has its share of small issues that need fixing. I aim to pick off the vast majority of the problems that have been reported with 6.0.1. So far, the biggest issue is that for some configurations, MacJournal has trouble quitting cleanly. Either it never quits, or it quits after a minute or so of spinning the CPU. These issues should be solved for 6.0.1. Today I’m releasing the first and only planned beta for 6.0.1 for those that want to try it out.

Here is 6.0.1b1:

Please let me know of any problems with this release via the “Report an Issue” menu item in the Help menu. Keep in mind though that this is a beta, and it’s always good to make sure you have backups of your important data when trying out a beta.
