MacJournal 7.0b2

This beta fixes an issue with the Clean Up, re-added entry counts for smart journals in the sidebar, and fixed a focused editing issue. Text Zoom works differently here where you'll get a horizontal scroll bar when using it in certain cases, but this should hopefully fix text issues that people on Mojave have experienced. Also, the Picasa support has been removed as Google has turned that off on their end.

MacJournal 7.0b1

MacJournal 7 is a brand new version of MacJournal with lots of new features. I'll have more to say about this release soon but this is the first pre-release for testing. Some of the new features include a brand new map view for looking at entries, updated timeline, improved backups, improvements to the tabs, added outline entries, improvements to searching and blogging, improved separate editing windows, additional metadata for entries like duration, performance and user interface improvements (including Mojave Dark Mode). This release requires macOS 10.13. Please give it a try and use the "Report a Bug" menu item in the Help menu if you have an issue.

This beta fixes some issues downloading posts from Blogger. It also adds a short delay before locking journals after switching apps in case you switched by accident. It improves handling of the new dark menu bar in recent OS X releases and improved a situation where a default font was lost when editing the journal template for the first time. Please let me know of any issues by using the Help menu's Report an Issue item. Thanks!

MacJournal 6.1.7b5

Get it here.

This adds the ability to send images to WordPress.com and fixes a few rare crashes. It also changes syncing with iOS devices to send deleted entries from the other side to the trash instead of deleting outright as a safety mechanism.

MacJournal 6.1.7b1

Get it here.

6.1.7 is a small followup release to 6.1.6, which came out about a week ago. Some users were seeing issues where entries and journals would duplicate themselves while using MacJournal. This apparently was due to how MacJournal reacts to the system it is running on telling it that its data changed outside of MacJournal. This release tries to address this in a few different way. First, it improves the strategy used to merge the data from disk to eliminate cases where it might duplicate something. The second is to stop paying attention to these messages from the system in cases where it doesn't make much sense. If the document isn't on something like Dropbox, these notifications are likely spurious (and may be a bug in the operating system itself) and would just cause unnecessary work for MacJournal. This is now turned off for most cases and I will look into perhaps turning this general ability back on in the future after testing with future versions of the operating system.

Please let me know if you have any issues with this soon as I expect the final release to come out later this week,

MacJournal 6.1.2b2

Get it here.

This release fixes a few more bugs in anticipation of the release of 6.1.2. There are a few fixes with Quick Note, document navigation modes, blogging with HTTPS servers, and Dropbox syncing. There are also improvements to the command-line tools. Please let me know of any problems that you have using the Report a Bug item in the Help menu. Thanks!

MacJournal 6.1.2b1


This beta should be the only pre-release before the final release of 6.1.2. It fixes some issues in 6.1.1 and before. There are fixes for search indexing, layout issues with books, improved posting to Blogger, and fixes for Quick Note. Please let me know of any issues by using the Report a Bug item in the Help menu. This release should be out soon, so please let me know! Thanks for testing MacJournal.

MacJournal 6.1b4

Get it here.

This beta should be the last one and the final release shouldn't be too much different than this one, so please let me know of any issues that you run into. There are some syncing improvements here as well as improvements for copying encrypted journals. Please report any issues using the Report a Bug item in the Help menu.

Monday, February 10, 2014

MacJournal 6.1b3

Get it here.

This beta has some bug fixes and improvements in behavior. It also should improve behavior when facing conflicts with data on Dropbox since Dropbox has its own way of handling conflicts. Other than that, large images should look better in certain WordPress templates, the default auto-save time is now shorter, most of the items in the Text Cleanup menu will work in the Topic field, and double-clicking an entry with content that can't be edited in MacJournal directly will open the best application for that content directly.

Please let me know of any issues that you have via the Report a Bug item in the Help menu.

Monday, January 20, 2014

MacJournal 6.1b2

Get it here.

There are mostly bug fixes in this beta over the last one. For example, refreshed categories will now be saved correctly when you are posting an entry to a blog. When syncing a document with an iOS device for the first time, there will be an extra message saying so just in case that is unexpected.

One change that you might not see is to how MacJournal deals with changes from other device using the same data over Dropbox. While opening the same place on more than one machine was never recommended, it sometimes happens and this release should hopefully handle it better by merging in the changes from the updated file on disk instead of wholly replacing the opened document, which may have some unsaved changes.

Please give this a try and let me know of any issues via the Report item in the Help menu. Thanks for trying MacJournal!

MacJournal 6.1b1

Download it here.

This is the first beta of the 6.1 release. There are a lot of changes in this release, but not all of them may be immediately apparent. For example, this release should improve performance and memory efficiency. There are several new features to use as well. There's a new live Markdown preview window available. You can add a new column to the Entries list for which journal the entry is from. You can see the character count for an entry next to the word count in the bottom bar. There's a new item in the Format menu to re-apply the default style to a selection of text. There is a new German localization. You can now rename tags in the Change Tags sheet. There are many smaller fixes and improvements for things like blogging, smart journals, syncing, and importing. See the full list in the Version History. Please report any problems that you have using the Report item in the Help menu.

MacJournal 6.0.7b10

Get it here.

Beta 9 expires on Tuesday, so here's a new beta to extend that date. I'm planning on releasing 6.0.7 Tuesday as well but I don't want anyone to miss out on the new release. Despite what I said about the release date, please still let me know of any issues you have using the Help menu's bug reporting item. In terms of what's new, it's mostly just bug fixes. Statistics should be improved, as should restoring a journal from a backup. Blogging is improved, as usual. Dealing with the Browse toolbar item when the Entries list is open should make more sense as well.

MacJournal 6.0.7b9



This beta is mainly to test a new authentication mechanism that will soon be required for Imgur posting. If you use Imgur, please give it a try and let me know if you have any problems. Of course, please let me know of any problems anywhere in the app as I’d like to release it very soon, pending one final bug fix. There is also a new Norwegian localization, fixes for the calendar and timeline views, a change to the default toolbar layout, and a fix for sending empty entries to Blogger. Thanks for testing MacJournal!
