MacJournal 5.1.1

The final version is out. Download it from Mariner. The in-application updates will be updated tomorrow to start offering it there as well if you want to wait for that. There aren't many differences versus the last beta, but there are a few bug fixes, a new Danish localization, and no expiration date.

I'll post more on future plans in the coming days.

MacJournal 5.1.1b5

Get it here.

Beta 4 contained some good bug fixes but it also contained some regressions that caused problems. So, enter beta 5 to fix the regressions. If this works out, this will be the last beta and we will release 5.1.1 to the general public. Let me know of any problems.

This release has a few fixes for blogging, Tiger issues, and other assorted problems. There is also some syncing experimentation for Leopard users.

MacJournal 5.1.1b1

Download it here.

MacJournal 5.1 is here

Download it here.

This is the final release of MacJournal 5.1. If you've been following the betas all along, not much will be new. But if you're coming from 5.0.4, there are some nice new things. I think the three biggest things are the "three-pane view", editable entry windows, and Karelia's Media Browser window. Let me know of any problems you find. I will update the in-application update mechanism soon as well if you just want to wait for that.

Note: If you saw it posted yesterday and downloaded it then, it may have been the incorrect build. A bad disk image was posted yesterday but has been corrected now. It was just beta 9, expiration date and all. Re-download using the link above to get the real 5.1.

MacJournal 5.1b9

Get it now.

While we prepare the final release of 5.1, here is a new beta to extend the expiration date. There are a few bug fixes in this release over beta 8 and it should be very similar to the final release soon.

MacJournal 5.1b8

Get it here.

This is the eighth beta. This contains various bug fixes, localization tweaks (including a new Italian localization), and one UI change in particular: .Mac is now MobileMe. Search is fixed, as are some issues with MetaWeblog servers. There is a fix for a crash when synchronizing Palm devices. There are some various other fixes as well that are detailed in the Version History. There aren't any new features as 5.1 is feature complete already. Providing more localizations is also a goal for this release. Please let me know if you have any problems with this beta.

MacJournal 5.1b7

Get it here.

Here comes the seventh beta, now with French and Spanish localizations. Not all the localizations are complete, but we hope to get things wrapped up soon. There are also more syncing fixes, and a few other fixes in various places.

I haven't mentioned it in a while, but here is the page that lists the current and recent releases, in case you should need them: http://danschimpf.com/dev.html.

MacJournal 5.1b6

Download it here.

Watch out: here comes beta six. This beta has two new localizations: Japanese and Dutch. It also adds some AppleScript properties and a Services menu in the contextual menu. It also fixes a long-standing bug in .Mac syncing regarding resetting data, so that should work better. We're getting late in the process here, but remember: this is still a beta, so remember to back up your data and let me know of any bugs you find.

It's mostly bug fixes, but fixes that will be helpful to most people. There's also a new German localization (more to follow). Let me know how it works out for you.

MacJournal 5.1b4

Get it now.

This is the fourth beta. There are various fixes in a lot of areas. There are some text editing fixes and some fixes for smart journals. There is now native support for importing OPML (outline) files. There are some various other fixes as well that are detailed in the Version History. There aren't any new features as 5.1 is feature complete already. Providing localizations is also a goal for this release, although none are included yet. Please let me know if you have any problems with this beta.

MacJournal 5.1b3

More bug fixes! This fixes some incompatibilities with Tiger, so issues editing text in the separate windows and with new entries, and a few small issues with the sidebar. Try it out and let me know how it works for you.

MacJournal 5.1b2

This fixes a few problems with editing entries in other windows, as well as a few other problems here and there. Please try it out and let me know how it works.

MacJournal 5.1b1 is here

This is the first beta of 5.1. The goal of this release is to provide a few larger features, a few smaller features, and provide localizations. We are currently working on the localizations so there are none in this release, but we will use this as a reference point and update what we have. This release is feature complete, which means I don't plan on adding any new features, largely because of the localization issue.

The big new features in this release is an option to have the entries list display vertically on either side of the entry text, enhancements to the calendar to support non-Gregorian calendars and display more than one month at a time, and editable entry windows. I also added Karelia's Media browser to see pictures and so forth from iLife applications and drag them in easily. There are a few other improvements and bug fixes, so I encourage you to read the Release Notes and the Version History for this release. You can go back and forth between this release and the last public release, 5.0.4, without any trouble. As with anything, it's a good idea to make backups before changing just about anything on your computer though.

MacJournal 5.0.3 and 5.0.4

As most of you already know, MacJournal 5.0.3 is now out. However, due to a silly mistake at the last minute, there was a problem preventing it from launching on Tiger. So, enter 5.0.4 with the fix to that problem. Early reports are good, so it's on to a small feature release with localizations (finally) included. It will have one or two small new features and will be a free update. More on that as it comes. I'll probably wait until it is feature complete to post a beta to avoid the endless stream of betas that 5.0.3 had.

MacJournal 5.0.3b8

Get it here.

This is the eighth, and hopefully final beta of MacJournal 5.0.3. It is intended to fix a long-standing crash on Tiger with the sidebar. There is also a syncing fix, and new check at launch for the minimum required version of QuickTime (7.3.1), a fix f or entry tabs, and a Batch Change fix.

Check out the included Version History for the full details.

MacJournal 5.0.3b7

Get it here.

This is the seventh beta of MacJournal 5.0.3. It should fix a crash on Tiger with expanding journals, as well as improve Picasa support, fix importing podcasts, fix saving Word files, fix the Batch Change sheet, improve support for other calendar types in the Change Date sheet, fix auto backups in some circumstances, and add badges to the entries list.
