MacJournal 5.2.4b2

Get it here.

There are a few bug fixes and regressions fixed in this beta. There are also a few new (very minor) things included here. "More" tags for blogs will be automatically recognized and let through to the server, even if you have "Escape > and <" turned on. If you hold the Option key when connecting a touch device, you can choose to which document you'd like it to sync. I added a new debugging tool in the Help menu: a network log for seeing what is happening during blogging. There are also some improvements regarding touch device syncing: large syncs should do better now.

Please let me know of any problems, specifically regarding touch syncing. Please let me know if that got better or worse for you.

Macjournal 5.2.4b1

Get it here.

This is the first beta of 5.2.4. It has more changes than seem evident in the UI, but there are a few changes that might help you. Line endings with Blogger are improved yet again. The right text margins when you have text zoom set to greater than 100% should also be fixed. There are some changes to wiki links, internationalization, and Services as well. Please try it out and let me know of any problems.

The best ways to report problems are with the Report a Bug menu item in the Help menu or the MacJournal Support Forums. Make sure to include what version of MacJournal you are using.

MacJournal 5.2.3

Get it here.

My apologies for the rapid-fire release but a bug was discovered for dealing with line breaks and I wanted to keep that working for all users and I'll be away from email for a few days so it was now or a while from now. One or two other bugs were fixed, including one with editing the top-level entry template in the Inspector.

MacJournal 5.2.2b1

Get it here.

This is a small bug-fix release for 5.2.1 to fix some of the issues discovered in that release. There are fixes for syncing with iPhones as well as a fix for launching on Tiger. There are fixes in a lot of different places, so check out the version history and let me know of any problems.

MacJournal 5.2.1

Get it here.

Note for Tiger users: after the release, an issue was found that prevents launching on most Tiger machines. 10.4 users should continue to use 5.2 until a fix is released.

This was actually released about a week ago, but I neglected to do a post here. Please check it out and let me know of any problems.

MacJournal 5.2.1b6

Get it here.

At this point, I think all the issues that are going to be fixed in this release have been fixed so far. This beta is to get some of those fixes since the last beta out there for a little while before the final release, which should hopefully be this week. Since the last beta, there have been fixes for mobile syncing, aliases and smart journals, and improvements to the Quick Note window. Please let me know of any problems via email, the "Report a Bug" menu item in MacJournal, or the Support Forums.

MacJournal 5.2.1b5

Get it here.

This will likely be the last beta release for 5.2.1. This includes a fix for an issue where crash logs for MacJournal for iPhone would show up in the crash reporter each time you launch MacJournal, no matter what you chose to do last time. There are some other fixes for syncing with the mobile version, as well as some fixes for smart journals and entries with tables. Please let me know of any issues.

MacJournal 5.2.1b4

Get it here.

After this week's release of MacJournal for iPhone, an issue arose with getting the initial sync between the phone and the Mac set up. It varied based on network conditions, but some users saw it consistently. This beta should fix that issue. Please let me know if you see any problems getting syncing started using this beta.

MacJournal 5.2.1b3

Get it here.

This build fixes some small issues with smart journals, improves support for Boolean operators while searching, and a few small other UI issues.

Monday, March 15, 2010

MacJournal 5.2.1b2

Get it here.

This build fixes some issues people were seeing with templates disappearing. It also changes tabs behavior a bit to reduce confusion: selecting an entry that already is a tab somewhere won't switch to that tab anymore. There are also improvements for export, AppleScript, link detection, separate editing windows, and more. Check it out and let me know of any issues.

MacJournal 5.2.1b1

5.2 came out a little over a week ago and 5.2.1 fixes a few small bugs found in that release. Download it now. Among the useful changes, PNG images will upload to blog servers and look better. Configuring new Picasa settings should work better now. Spell checking should work better in Full Screen. There are a few other small changes, which you can check out in the Version History item in the Help menu.

If you have any issues in this release, please email me as soon as possible as this release will hopefully have a much shorter cycle than 5.2.

MacJournal 5.2

It's finally here! Use the Check for Update item in MacJournal or head to Mariner to get the final release. The major new features with 5.2 are support for the iPhone version, downloads of more than 50 entries for LiveJournal, automatic backups for non-main documents, better UI for setting default font and color, fixes for Quick Note with Spaces, improved compatibility with non-Blogger Atom servers, and, as always, fixes for MobileMe syncing.

If you have a question or an issue, please consider visiting the support forum or using the "Report an issue" item in the Help menu in MacJournal. Thanks!

MacJournal 5.2b13

Get it here.

This beta encapsulates some changes I made that I wanted to get out before the final release. I will likely finalize the final release Tuesday night or Wednesday, so please let me know if you have any issues sooner rather than later. There are some tweaks to HTML export, the first-launch experience is fixed, and the "Save As" menu item will now worked more as expected when used on the main document. There is also a workaround for a crash in the OS with URL caching. Please let me know of any troubles.

MacJournal 5.2b12

Get it here.

Mostly assorted small updates in this one. There's a "Reveal in Finder" button in the Advanced Preferences to show the current main data file in the Finder (which will help me with support). For Leopard or Snow Leopard users, the behavior of smart quotes in tricky situations should be much better. A few crashes are fixed, HTML formatting should be improved for links with smart quotes in them, the entries list should hide correctly after a search, and so forth. Let me know of any problems as this will likely be released sometime this month.

Friday, January 22, 2010

MacJournal 5.2b11

Get it here.

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.

Monday, January 18, 2010

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.
