17 October 2006

Using "Copy To" from the menu bar will save the current entry before copying it.

Fixed clicking the table header in the drawers to toggle sort order.
Fixed a problem when try to add in the tab bar to a window that is too small for it on the screen.
MacJournal now recognizes "macjournal" links with UUIDs in them. They can be created by default by enabling the hidden pref UseUUIDsForMacJournalLinks. This makes the links both location-independent and really ugly.

Fixed problem with changing the labels in the preferences not updating the rest of the app.
Fixed the "Open Drawer Preferences" menu item in the drawers.

Dragging a color from a color well (like in the Inspector) onto a journal or entry will set the label color of that item.

4.0d1

Added ability to have per-journal and -entry background colors
Added a one-time confirmation when you attempt to store a journal password in the Keychain because it's a frequent topic of questions.
Added a warning when attempting to e-mail and entry with rich text.
Added a new drawer for annotations (i.e. notes). Also added a spot in the Inspector for it.
Added AppleScript support!
Exported RTF files will have approximately the same window size when opened in TextEdit.
Added option to exclude common words from word frequency analysis in the Stats panel as well as a way to configure those words.
Double-clicking on a word in the stats panel will new correctly bring you to the first instance of that word and not just the first instance of that substring.

Added an "editable" property to entries to disable changing the entry text
Added "remove HTML tags" text cleanup option
Added per-journal sort types (sort by whatever and sort ascending/descending)
Added XML importing of entries. Download entries off of LiveJournal in XML format, give it a file extension of "xml" and MacJournal will parse out the individual entries. It will also work on generic XML documents where entries are contained in an "entry" element, with properties denoted by "date," "topic," and "text."
Added "webarchive" to the list of possible extensions to import
Added a control in the preferences for changing the default sort behavior.

The menu from the Highlight toolbar item will always originate from the same point in the window, not relative to the mouse.
No longer including the weird <title> tag for non-Blogger.com sites in the Blogger panel. This caused more trouble than it was worth. Use the hidden pref IncludeTitleTagForNonBloggerSites to restore this behavior.
Fixed a crash that can happen when the calendar tries to automatically change days at Midnight.

3.1b2

The Blogger Strikes Back

15 April 2005

Added hidden pref FirstDayOfWeek corresponding to a zero-based integer (where 0 is Sunday) for the first day of week to be displayed in the calendar. For example, enter 1 to have Monday be the first day of the week.
Fixed a problem that might prevent a new entry from becoming the current entry in certain cases in a nested journal.
When automatically locked a journal for any reason, try to lock nested journals if the parent does not have a password set.
If you search for something without any drawers open, the last drawer will open (or the journals drawer). Use DoNotOpenDrawerWhenSearching to disable it.
Improved some of the list logic to ignore whitespace before the list item (be it bullet, number, or checkbox) and retain the level of indentation if you start a new line while indented.
Updated Korean Localization
Added a calendar to the Change Date sheet.
Assorted performance work in several areas of the app for the final release.
Added hidden pref DiscoverListsAutomatically to disable the new list discovery feature in 3.1.
Rewrote the networking for Blogger so as to hopefully avoid some troublesome areas of the OS.
Worked around a little "quirk" of the OS that causes all styling to be lost if you start typing right next to a checkbox.
Added hidden pref AutomaticBackupPath to control where the new auto-backups go.
Fixed a crash that can happen in the save panel during export.
Made some improvements to the way searching works with nested journals so it picks other entries better if the current journal contains nothing in the search.

3.1b1

Localizations ahoy!

31 March 2005

Added hidden pref RestrictWikiLinksToCurrentJournal, which is enabled by default.
Fixed a problem with printing cutting off some lines.
Updated Serbian, Spanish, Danish, Taiwanese, French, Norwegian, German localizations.

3.1a4

Boldly bring networking into 2 years ago!

20 March 2005

Redid the daily backups to include the number of days between backups. The previous pref is no longer good; use AutomaticBackupPeriod to specify the number of days between backups (i.e. 1 for daily backups, 7 for weekly)
Fleshed out the tabs a bit. Open new tabs by Command-clicking internal links. Preference AlwaysShowTabBar to always show tab bar. Most of the work will come for the next release at this point since this is a hidden feature.
Added hidden pref DirectoryForEntryHTMLFiles to allow you to specify a subpath for individual entry files when exporting a journal to individual files.
Re-implemented most of the networking using WebKit and raised the minimum OS to 10.2.7 to match the new requirements. Installing Safari on 10.2.6 or before will also work, so no excuses!
Made the registration dialog a sheet on the Welcome window instead of a separate window.
Decoupled the preference for full screen text zoom from the foreground and background colors so you can set one without the other.
Statistics will now count words in nested journals.
Encrypted journals will now draw with a gold lock in the drawer.
Added controls in the Advanced Prefs for the automatic backup.
Added a HTML 4.01-compliant HTML template and modified the HTML output to print non-XML tags when using a non-XML template.
Moved the Statistics menu item to the View menu and made it context-sensitive in the drawers. Select some entries to just get the stats on those.

3.1a3

Let's try tabs, just for fun

7 March 2005

Fixed a crash when switching to no list style with no selection around.
Fixed a problem with checkbox list style destroying ruler settings when making new lines.
Fixed a problem with exporting accented characters (or any other non-ASCII Unicode characters) into HTML documents when "Use one file per entry" is specified.
Fixed an issue that was preventing new journals from expanding if you used "Command-Shift-N" to create that journal.
Improved the logic of where created journals go: journals created from the menu bar or the keyboard equivalent should always go to the top level, but journals created by right-clicking on another journal and choosing "New Journal" will go inside that journal.
Fixed the dock menu items so they will be enabled when the app isn't active.
Set the hidden default CalendarTextSearchDateFormat with a date format to also search entry text for dates in that format when selected dates in the calendar. For example, set the default to %B %d, %Y to search for dates like "March 2, 2005" in your entry text.
Smileys can now exclude the nose hyphen.
Journals should now properly re-sort themselves when you rename a nested journal when things are sorted by Topic.
Added hidden preference DoNotShowLoadingWindow to prevent the "Loading Data" window from coming up on app launch. If you set MacJournal as a login item, this window will prevent MacJournal from automatically hiding. Use this pref to prevent that, but note that this will bring up the "spinny cursor" at launch time and will probably extend the time it takes by a few seconds.
Fixed Undo in Full Screen Mode.
Added a bunch of Taco quotes
Added a new hidden preference: EnableTabs. Enable this to add a menu item to the menu bar and the entry contextual menu to open an Entry in a new tab in a new tab section in the window. This is a work in progress.
Added hidden pref AllowAdminToDeleteLockedJournals which is enabled by default. Disable it to not show any way to delete locked journals (by default you can enter an admin password to delete it without the journal password.

3.1a2

Statistics Action!

27 February 2005

Add type-selection support to the Stats panel
Fixed appearance of Auto-scroll button in Full Screen mode when Custom Appearance is off.
Improved performance of deleting words from the Stats and allowed for multiple selection.
Added exporting to the Stats sheet. Use "Save", "Save As", or either "Export" menu item (from the Journal or Entry menus) to save a text file with the information in it to a file.
Fixed a problem with combining search terms with quotes and generally made that area of the code a lot better.
Added hidden pref DontCreateNewEntriesInCalendar to refrain from creating new entries when using the calendar. This might become a "real" pref in 3.1.
Fixed restoration of calendar height in the journals drawer.
Added hidden pref IncludeHiddenToolbarItems to expose two hidden toolbar items: Insert Checkbox and Insert Date & Time
Added .Mac to Share menus throughout the app.
The .Mac will now send over any export any attachments in files with the primary file. Added a checkbox to strip out the attachments as well.
Updated localizations instead of removing them.
Added button to LiveJournal sheet for backdating

3.1a1

Who thought up our calendar system?

19 February 2005

New button in the toolbar for Highlighting.
New calendar view in Journals drawer. It will show days in the month that have entries and clicking on those days will bring you to the first entry on that day. Clicking on a day without an entry will create an entry for that day.
New searching architecture to go along with calendar view: select multiple days in the calendar to search for entries on those days only
True automatic lists: the current "list style" will update to whatever the current line on which you are typing represents. For example, start a line with "3. Hello!" and the list style will automatically switch to "Numbers" and the next line will start with "4. " automatically.
Reversed the order of the font name and size in HTML exports as that seems to work better with browsers.
Fixed the undo state after creating a journal. NSUndoManager isn't very helpful for anything really.
Using Insert Date and Time in the Entry Template window when you're in the topic field will add the string to the topic field.
Selecting "Individual Files" as a backup option will now correctly write out entries and journals with slashes (forwards and backwards) and colons. These are illegal characters for filenames.
Added new .Mac panel. It will export the current entry, journal, or drawer selection to your (or someone else's) iDisk in the Sites folder to a filename of your choosing.
Added hidden pref BackDateLiveJournalEntries to set the backdate option on LiveJournal transmissions. This will lift the restriction that the entry's date must be later than the last preexisting one but will keep the entry out of your friends' "updated" list. Hidden for now.
Added visible button for starting auto-scroll in full screen mode. It's hidden normally and only shows itself when you move the mouse. Use the hidden pref AlwaysHideAutoScrollButton to never ever see it. The previous key combo was removed as well.
Fixed a freeze-up that can occur when you cancel the Blogger panel while it was sending an entry or getting the list of blog IDs from the server.
Like Word files before it, importing text files with no file extension but an HFS type code of 'TEXT' will correctly recognize them as real text files.
Selecting something from the font size or name toolbar menus will put the focus back to the text view.
Added hidden preference to automatically back up your data each day called BackUpDataDaily. This happens when you hit "Save" or quit the app with unsaved changes. This will likely become a real preference in the final release of 3.1 when I add preferences.
If there is a permissions problem saving the registration info MacJournal will prompt you for an administrator password to correct the issue.
Tossing your data in the Trash and restarting MacJournal will now create new data instead of using the data in the Trash.
Double-clicking an item in the Statistics window will bring you to the first instance of that string in the selected entries (or journal).
Hitting the Delete key in the Stats window will exclude that word from the frequency analysis.
Fixed problem where the text would be scrolled back to the previous position if that position was at the very end of the text.
The rename sheet you get after you create a journal is now named "New Journal." Likewise, when you try to lock a journal with no password the sheet you get is named "Lock Journal" and will be missing the old password text field (instead of just being disabled like before).
If there is no response from the server for 60 seconds in the Blogger window, the status message is changed to reflect that.

3.0.2

Small but scrappy

9 March 2005

3.0.1b2

Post-MacWorld Fun!

17 January 2005

Fixed possible exception when inserting the current artist or song into new entries as part of the entry template.
Disable Strikethrough menu and toolbar item on Jaguar because it can't work.
Checkbox lists no longer blow away ruler settings.
Changed keystroke for jumping to the summary entry to Command-Shift-Control-S, which is very uncomfortable to perform. I had to get it out of the way of Strikethrough though.

Updated Danish localization
Print margin settings are now saved between app launches
Resolved a few edge cases in the UI behavior when combining encryption and nested journals
Updated Spanish localization
Contractions will no longer be treated as two words in the Stats panel.
Updated Japanese localization

Fixed the Statistics panel for Jaguar

3.0.1b1

Pre-loc bug fixes

12 January 2005

Creating a journal is now one undoable action, instead of two (adding the journal and changing the name)
Added hidden pref EscapeGreaterThanAndLessThanForLiveJournal
Topics can only be one line (which is now enforced to remove any confusion)
Fixed the positioning of the visible area in Full Screen mode again. Now it will really be what you were looking at before.
If the passwords for LiveJournal or Blogger are in the Keychain, automatically look up moods or blog IDs (respectively)
Added menu forms for the Text Zoom, List Style, Font Name, and Font Size toolbar items so you can use them when in Text-only mode.
Fixed an exception that occured some times when switching list styles at the end of the text
Fixed up some more lingering problems with Services not working
On Panther, Word files will now be recognized by their HFS type code if the extension does not exist.
Added hidden pref LinkColor to change the color of links. This will probably become a "real" pref in 3.1. This only works for Panther.
Smart quotes will get automatically simplified when exporting to HTML, Blogger, and LiveJournal.
Exporting journals with nested journals to text or RTF should include the content of the nested journals.
Fixed Change Case->Capitalize
Right-clicking on a journal and choosing Rename when auto-expand is on will now correctly start the edit session instead of selecting the journal's current entry.

Removed a silly console log.
Updated Serbian localization

Fixed misdirected apostrophes with smart quotes
Made another attempt at fixing the empty services window problem
Going to Full Screen will attempt to scroll to the position you are viewing, not necessarily the position that the insertion point is.

The Delete warning will now include the type of object you are deleting
Hopefully handling the width of the column in the journals drawer better now

Scrolling around the journals drawer with the keyboard will not automatically expand journals (since it interferes with the movement)
Fixed a problem with printing text with a right margin set

3.0b2

We're not in Kansas anymore

25 December 2004

Fixed Jaguar compatibility for Full Screen
Added some hidden preferences to set a custom font for Full Screen display. It has some weirdness though for sure; it might never become a regular pref.
Closing the Prefs window with the focus in the Full Screen Text Zoom text field will now commit that change before closing the window
The Services dialog should work better. Maybe it won't be blank for some people and for everyone else it will select the right object better.
Fixed appearance of underlined and struck-through text on Full Screen. Is "struck-through" the correct conjugation here?
Changing the list style with no selection will now correctly change the list style for that line
Finally re-organized the menu bar to a more HIG-friendly layout. Everyone say hello to the File menu!
Added hidden pref FullScreenKeyEquivalent to change the F8 key equivalent for full screen
Accented characters will be handled better for Lowercase or Uppercase text clean-up
Changing the sorting will correctly update nested journals
Tweaked the auto-scroll to be a lot smoother. Instead of just scrolling one line each every now and then, scroll by one pixel a lot more often.
Fixed the mapping of Command-= to Command-+ (so you don't have to use the Shift key to use the Format->Font->Bigger menu item.
Wiki links in Jaguar will have the correct blue text and underline (manually applied)
Added support for smart quotes which is enabled by default. New controls in the Editing preferences for it.
Panther users should be able to drag any file onto the MacJournal icon to create an entry in the current journal containing that file.
2.7 is now 3.0.
Added components for commericial product-itude: EULA, welcome window, and registration window.
The Blogger and LiveJournals sheets should now respect system settings for Web proxy. The LiveJournal sheet sheds its proxy fields.

2.7b1

Shooting right along

14 December 2004

Fixed the color controls in the Editing Preferences for full screen text and background color
Added some spiffy custom scrollers to the full screen display that conform to whatever custom settings that you have
Fixed some problems with WrapTextWhileZooming and turned it on by default. This will help for full screen mode.
To match the new scrollers, the cursor will also become the foreground color if desired in full screen mode
Added hidden preference DisableAlternatingRowColorsInDrawers to do just what it says.
You can no longer drag a journal into itself (which has weird metaphysical ramifications)
Took out the fix in 2.7a1 that allowed you to tab from the search field to the topic field because it totally broke Jaguar compatibility. Oh well.
Moved all the Full Screen prefs to their own pref pane for more room.
Added a preference to hide scrollbars entirely in full screen mode, or just when the mouse is not over them.
No longer fully capturing the display for full screen mode. This means you can use contextual menus, drag text around, and Command-Tab out of MacJournal. On the downside alert windows may pop and ruin the experience (if you do anything that would call for such a thing to happen). Such is life.
Added hidden pref FullScreenTextInset which is set to {20, 5}, which means 20 pixels on each side and 5 pixels on top.
Selecting a bunch of lines and then changing the list mode will attempt to change the text in a more elegant way. For example, selecting five lines and changing the list style to "Numbers" will number each line one through five.
Worked around a Cocoa bug to fix resizing the column in the journals drawer
Reworded preferences for controlling stylization of HTML export and Blogger and added a hidden preference (DisableStylesForBlogger and DisableStylesForHTML) to disable stylization entirely.
Added menu item in View menu for "View in Separate Window"
Fixed inconsistency with "Close After Selection" buttons in Drawer Preferences
Fixed HTML template creating, renaming, and deleting in the HTML prefs
Fixed Background Image/Color Prefs
Rename sheet will now appear when you create a journal directly in the journals drawer ('+' button and with the contextual menu)
Journals created in the journals drawer ('+' button or with the contextual menu) will appear at the top-level more often and the Rename sheet will always show up.
The tool tip (a.k.a. help tag) for the field above the topic bar that shows either the date or the number of entries in the journal will be updated based on what is displayed.
You can now skip versions in the Check for Update window
Fixed a bug where disabling "Show Dialog for Services" and then using "New Entry From Selection" with a locked journal would let things get weird.
Added a quick a dirty auto-scroll feature to the Full Screen Mode: Press Command-Shift-2 while in Full Screen to start scrolling one line at a time automatically. Press Escape to stop. Press Up or Down to move up or down a line, and press Right or Left to speed up or slow down the timing. Press the Space bar to pause or restart after moving lines. Note that this is a completely arbitrary key combination that will be changing in the next build.

2.7a1

Work commences!

4 December 2004

Turned on support for nested journals! This has been long in the making and should apply to every area of MacJournal in the expected way.
Turned on support for lists: toolbar item and submenu in Format
Turned on support for discovery of Wiki links. This includes:
1. Discovery of links with CamelCase that point to entries (entry topics need not be in CamelCase, e.g. it will match to an entry named "Camel Case!")
2. Control over whether or not to require a valid entry already exist, otherwise any and all CamelCase words will be highlighted
3. Control over whether or not to create entries or journals for links that point to non-existent objects. This goes along with #2 here. Make a "macjournal://" link that doesn't point to anything and then click it and MacJournal will create everything that it needs to make that link work. This also works with nested journals, but there is a limit of 10 levels in the link so people don't trick you into clicking a link that blows up your data file in any way.
Moved "Remove Line Breaks" out of the hidden preferences and into the menu by default
Added "Sort Selected Lines" text clean-up menu item. On Panther, hold down the Option key when selecting it to sort in reverse.
Mapped Command-= to the same action as Command-+ (shift key no longer required; matches Safari and Mail)
Promoted some hidden preferences to a non-hidden state:
1. Include seconds in date
2. Escape non-ASCII characters for HTML and Blogger
3. Simple HTML Export for HTML and Blogger
4. Escape '<' and '>' for HTML and Blogger
5. Save LiveJournal/Blogger passwords in Keychain (added to respective sheets)
6. Store Attachments Externally
7. Show Dialog For Services (was Automatically Choose Destination For Services, so this is the inverse of that, but it defaults to on)
When the insertion point is in a link in the text view, the menu title will change from "Insert Link" to "Edit Link"
Added "Copy As HTML" to Edit Menu. Works for selected text and for selected entries in any drawer.
Moved Hidden Preferences from a separate window into the real Preferences window. Changed the preference key to IncludeHiddenPreferences to match.
Journals can now be empty. User-created journals will still contain an entry by default.
New toolbar items for Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strikethrough
Added some tooltips in the Preferences window to explain some of the preferences
Copying a number of entries and pasting it in plain text will add some line breaks inbetween entries
Set a default text inset size of 5 pixels on each side of the text. This is inbetween the side of the window and the start of the text. This is a hidden preference, but the default is {5, 5} now.
Added Clean-up menu items for Discover Links/Smileys/Wiki links. Now you can do them manually if you don't want to have it all of the time. Works for the whole text, or just the selection if you have one.
You can now put e-mail address into the Edit Link sheet without the "mailto:" part; MacJournal will add that for you.
For Discover Links/Smileys/Wiki links you previously had to explicitly hit Command-S to get it to work. Now it will also work when switching entries if the entry is dirty when you switch. It will also work automatically for Auto-saves.
Double-clicking on an entry with the Info Bar hidden will allow you to edit the topic in the table directly.
Restored the hidden preference WrapTextWhileZooming. Same problems still exist: resizing window doesn't update the text wrapping.
Removed the white background behind the text in special entries like "this entry is locked." It was added so you could always see the text even against a dark background, but it just looks ugly. So instead, the entire text view background color will be white!
Added alternate version of "Remove Leading Spaces" that works for all whitespace (including tabs), accessible by holding the option key.
New and improved Statistics sheet which now has word frequency stats. You can also set any set of entries in the drawers and use the menu item to just look at those entries.
Added Text Clean-up command for changing case to upper, lower, or capitalized. This may not make the cut as it currently discards any styles in the text, which sucks.
Added controls to the Hidden Preferences for BackgroundPictureFraction.
Fixed system beep when you page up/down in the drawers
Added hidden pref to focus on the text when creating a new entry (instead of the topic)
Added new "Full Screen" feature to the View menu: will take over the monitor with just the entry text until you hit the Escape key.
Added a special hack so you can tab from the search field to the topic field
Added text zoom to the View menu
Added a new view to the print panel in the MacJournal section to control the page margins.
Ruler settings are really no longer blown away when inserting a checkbox
Added "Reset" button in Advanced Prefs for the storage location
Moved "Insert" menu items to the Edit menu, which is probably where they belonged all along (see iChat and/or the HIG).
Added "Insert Artist & Song" to the Edit menu (was hidden pref)
Fixed selection issues in the drawers at launch
The journals drawer will open when you first launch MacJournal
Manual Reordering of entries within journals! Drag entries around in the drawers and the sort type will change to "none." Change it back if you want to. This is how iChat does it. For now it is still a global sort type though; individual journals can't be unsorted while others are.
Moved e-mail, livejournal, and blogger menu items to a submenu to match the contextual menus in the drawers and shorten up the Entry menu
Entries created from text from Safari will get the title and URL of the page inside the text of the document (in addition to what the topic was)
Fixed a problem where some checkboxes might not get copied if you copied a whole boatload of them at a time.
Improvement for Tiger which I don't think I can elaborate on. :-)
Set the "Discover Links" preference to enabled by default.
Similarly, set the Auto-save Interval to 30 minutes by default. Feel free to set it lower (previous customizations will not be affected). This seems like a long enough time not to get in the way of anyone and it's good to keep the disk updated.
Clicking on a link to a locked journal will attempt to unlock the journal
Added "Expand All" and "Collapse All" to contextual menu for entries in the journals drawer
Exporting journals with "one file per entry" set and illegal characters in an entry topic (such as ":" and "/") will now convert those characters so the OS doesn't skip them.
Added some controls in the Preferences to have custom appearances for full-screen mode

2.6.1

Fixing a few crashers

27 February 2005

Fixed crash using "Multiple Spaces to Space"
Removed links in About panel for Jag users
No longer blowing away current ruler settings when inserting a checkbox
Fixed typo in French
Updated Russian Localization
Fixed copying a bunch of checkboxes (it could miss some of them)
Fixed an exception in the journals drawer when creating an entry and then Undoing it
Exporting journals with "one file per entry" set and illegal characters in an entry topic (such as ":" and "/") will now convert those characters so the OS doesn't skip them.
Fixed some issues with the incorrect row being selected in the drawers

2.6

Der release

26 October 2004

Quitting with no unsaved changes (but after changing something at some point) will now save the intended backups
Hopefully improved the consistency between the search sheet and toolbar item

2.6fc1

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl.

20 October 2004

Fixed problems with dead keys in non-English keyboard layout
When sending text to Blogger, the most common color is treated as the base color and is left to the server to stylize (the color is not specified). This has been changed so the base color has to be at covering at least 50% of the text. This also applies to font size. (The 50% threshold is configurable using the default SimpleHTMLExportMedianThreshold)
Starting a search will scroll the entry to the first instance if it is found in the current entry.
Hopefully fixed a problem where the second Service would show up in Japanese.
Starting a search will select the first entry available if the current journal does not contain any valid entries.
Renamed the hidden "Re-wrap text" to "Remove Line Breaks". The preference key will remain the same.
The "Include Date and Type" checkbox in the Export sheet is no longer enabled when you select the "MacJournal" format. Makes sense, really.
All text clean up commands are now supported in the drawers. Select some entries and choose one to perform the actions in bulk.
Fixed some more date formatting issues in Korean (AM/PM and Day of Week)
Importing a file with no creation date will leave the entry date as the current date. These files have dates that show up in the Finder as either "--" or in the year 1903 or 1904.
Exporting text with "<" and ">" to HTML or Blogger formatted the characters incorrectly before so they wouldn't show up. Fixed.
Control-Command-S will "Force Save," i.e. always save the data to disk whenever you want, regardless of the state of the current entry. This will only work for Panther users. Hold down the Control key whilst viewing the Entry menu to display said menu item.
Opening MacJournal, changing the topic of the current entry without hitting Return, and then quitting immediately would not save the topic change. Fixed.
Exporting and e-mailing when the focus is in the main window (not a drawer) will save the current entry before doing anything.
Individual entry viewer windows will now pick up changes to the background color in the preferences.
Changing the Spelling preference will no longer require a relaunch to take effect.
Small enhancements to HTML formatting
For all you hidden preferences junkies: IncludeHiddenPreferencesMenuItem will add a menu item under the "Preferences" menu item to display a window containing all current hidden preferences. This is only available to Panther users and will always be in English.
Improved the Discovery option for importing entries from a text/RTF file in a few ways, including handling of empty topics in the source file.
Also for the Import Entries option: the "Try to Discover Entries" button in the open panel will only be enabled for files on which the option is supported (but this itself only happens on Panther).
When exporting to Blogger or HTML tabs will be converted to eight pretty no-break spaces ( ).
Updated French Localization
When changing the background color in the main text view, the color panel will no longer close after setting the color once. You'll have to close the color panel or select "Show Colors" from the Format menu again to get back to setting the foreground color.
Modest searching upgrade: search terms are now considered separately. That means every word separated by a space is a different search term in the search. Search terms are combined with an implied AND operator. Use quotes around phrases to combine search terms.
Now escaping non-ASCII characters in titles sent to Blogger. This should help people using non-Roman character sets.
Added more fall-through in searching for the data at startup: if your data are not found in the location specified in the preferences, MacJournal will now also search in the default location, as well as your Documents folder. The data will still be saved in the location specified in the preferences, so you'll still get an error if that location is somehow not writeable.
Don't always scroll the views in the drawers so the selected row is visible in certain cases. This should be less annoying when moving stuff around in there.
Added a FAQ file that will serve as the Help for this release.

2.6b5

Tick tock

12 September 2004

Hidden pref AddRewrapTextMenuItem to add a menu item to the Clean Up menu for re-wrapping text. This will become standard in the future, but for now is English-only.
Improved performace of the Font Face/Size toolbar items for large selections
Also, Font Face/Size changes will no longer be applied when you first pop down the menu. For example, if you selected a bunch of text and then clicked the down arrow in the font size toolbar item, it would actually change all the text to be whatever size is selected right then; no more.
MacJournal will now get the address of the web page in OmniWeb when selecting text and making an entry in MacJournal from the Services menu (Safari and Mail are already supported)
Fixed printing font sizes. The font sizes were actually correct, but the text was being scaled incorrectly. The size should be good now.
Option-clicking the Previous and Next toolbar buttons will traverse the recently viewed entries, like Safari. So if you click a link to jump to another entry, option-click "Previous" to get back. Option-click "Next" to change your mind. Use hidden pref UseBrowseToolbarItemAsHistory to make the history behavior default and the "standard" behavior come with the option key.
Links at the very end of the text will have a space appended on to them to allow you to type normally afterwards.
Labor Day treat: use the hidden pref TransformSmileysWhenSaving to transfer all instances of the string ":-)" to ☺ and ":-(" to ☹.
Removed references to WrapTextWhileZooming. It didn't work right and I don't think I was headed in the right direction. I will keep working on this, but not for this release.
Updated Spanish localization
Added some new logic to prevent unnecessary saves back to disk. So if you just open and quit MacJournal now, nothing will be touched on disk. Also, if you have Auto-Save enabled it won't write everything back to disk each time the interval comes due.
Added hidden pref UseFirstLineAsTopicForServices to restore previous behavior for the generated topics from Services if desired.
Added a "Show" menu in the "View" menu in the menu bar that does the same thing as the one in the contextual menus for the drawers (and the Action button). Because of the lateness of this addition, it will only be in English versions.

2.6b4.1

Another release for Maine

26 August 2004

Added Taiwanese localization!
Fixed "Reload Data From This Location"
Selecting things in the drawers and using the Delete toolbar item should work a little better now
The names of the fonts in the toolbar item are now sorted
Non-ASCII characters will now be escaped for Blogger.
Fixed the dragging of attachments into the Finder.
Changing the name of the journal while its summary entry is visible won't break the entry links anymore
If you select some text and hit Insert Link, the focus will already be on the URL (since you already have text selected). Hard to describe, good to use, trust me.
Reversed the option-key behavior when dragging entries in the Keywords sheet. Doing nothing will just copy the keywords; holding option will replace them.
Removed the "Revert to 2.5" menu item because, well, you shouldn't. :-)
The value of the LiveJournal availability will be saved for next time.
Fixed display weirdness when changing the journals drawer font while a locked journal is selected in Combined view mode (redefining obscure bug fix....)
Double-clicking the table header in the Entries drawer will no longer yield a new entry.
E-mail address discovery should be a little smarter. You can't use as many characters in an e-mail as you can in a URL, so now it will use a more restrictive character set just for e-mails.
Saving your data while using the program with the "Lock Journals when Quitting" preference set will make sure the data it writes to disk will have all the journals locked that can. This is important so temporarily unencrypted data will end up on disk encrypted.
The columns widths in the entries drawer should be saved in between launches now
Added hidden default SimpleHTMLExport to enable the simplified HTML formatting used in Blogger for all HTML exporting to files. So if you don't want all font information carried over, use this.
Added hidden default EncodeGreaterAndLessThanForHTML to control whether or not < and > are encoded in HTML exports (including Blogger). This defaults to YES, so the behavior remains unchanged unless you modify this directly.
More hidden prefs: SaveBloggerPasswordInKeychain and SaveLiveJournalPasswordInKeychain. Both are fairly self-explanatory and will likely become a checkbox in their respective sheets in the future.
While doing the keychain stuff, I fixed a rare crash in both sheets caused by typing a password and then hitting "Cancel" quickly.
Changing journal names in the drawer (via the contextual menu or by double-clicking them) will now be inline.
Clicking on the arrow next to a locked journal will now present the unlock sheet. Pressing the Right Arrow key while the row is selected did this before (and still does now).
Hold down the Command key while expanding a journal to collapse other journals at the same time (regardless of preference setting). Note that this used to be the Option key, but this modifier key already has default behavior assigned to it by AppKit. So I separated it out in order to provide the expected behavior plus the custom behavior separately or at the same time if so desired. This Command key behavior also applies when expanding from the keyboard now as well.
Small Tiger improvement
Fixed some weirdness with row highlighting in the Entries drawer while searching
Fixed a potential crash when ending a search
Shift-tab in the text view to head back to the topic field (in addition to control-tab)

2.6b4

Perfectionism strikes again

9 August 2004

Updated Serbian Localization
Importing text files and trying to discover entries inside the text file will be a lot more forgiving about the date formatting. It should be a lot easier to import text as entries now.
The topics of special entries like the Locked Journal message and the Empty Search message are no longer editable
More menu item validation (Paste Style menu items)
For links the are at the end of a line a space will be appended after the link. This is so when you go back to that line everything you type won't be included in said link.
Fixed lack of CSS styles after some links/images in HTML exporting
Locking the journal before commiting a change to the topic will save that change
Got bored one day and enabled Copy and Paste from the Edit menu and keyboard for the drawers. Copy entries/journals, navigate to another journal, and then paste them.
Added hidden preference to attempt to wrap text while you are zoomed in: WrapTextWhileZooming. This is still preliminary and has some problems.
Entry view windows will now have the same background as the main window
Added a button in the Edit Link sheet to choose an entry instead of a file to link to.
Fixed the "Friends" setting in LiveJournal
Creating a new entry with no Entry Template set and then hitting Bold or Italic before typing anything should now work
Fixed date formatting on in Korean (and possible other places)
You can now discover entries inside an RTF file while importing it (previously was limited to only plain text files)
System administrators can now delete locked journal. When trying to delete a locked journal, a standard system password screen will come up. Don't worry: MacJournal will get none of your password; just whether or not the thing succeeded. If it did, the journal will be deleted.
Improved the treatment of line breaks when exporting to HTML to restore some previous behavior. Lines will now be bookended by and as in 2.5.
Locking a journal will close any viewer windows for its child entries
A few tweaks for Tiger. 2.6 won't have nearly the amount of features for Tiger that 2.5 had for Panther. But a few noticeable things will be there.
When zooming to less than 100%, the exposed area will now be a shade of gray, which is nicer than the white that was there before.
The text sent to Blogger and LiveJournal should be a lot more simple now. Before, all the same operations were done it as were done to exported HTML. But Blogger does a lot of formatting itself (line breaks are divined from the text transmitted in and some other styles are done via style sheets). So now MacJournal doesn't try to send any of that stuff. Bolds and italics are still sent (with CSS).
Changed the default toolbar items around just a bit
If you are sending to an official Blogger server (*.blogger.com), we will try to use the Blogger 2 API. This will mean the title can be sent. Use a hidden pref BloggerProtocol, introduced in the previous build, to control this all the time. Set it to Blogger2API to force Blogger 2 all of the time, and use BloggerAPI to force the default Blogger API.
Use the Insert Date and Time menu item in the Entry Template to insert a tag that will update when you create a new entry. It looks like <$DateAndTime$>. For some undocumented fun, try out <$CurrentArtist$> and <$CurrentSong$>.
Implemented type-ahead support in the tables. When the focus is in a drawer, start typing the name of a journal or entry to select it.
You can now drag attachments (pictures, etc.) away from MacJournal into the Finder. You can also double-click them to launch in a separate viewer.
Selecting multiple objects in the drawers will no longer change the viewed entry
The Preferences window will no longer have the toolbar button in the title bar
The Delete toolbar item will no longer allow "click-through" (clicking it from a different application)
Jaguar users will see the old word count behavior because apparently the new behavior didn't work. Panther and above will still see the better version (that can handle Asian languages).

2.6b3

Localizations Ahoy!

12 July 2004

Updated Korean Localization
Fixed links to entries with forward slashes in them (especially for the summary entry)
Updated Italian Localization
Using the keyboard to navigate the drawers will hide the cursor until you move the mouse again
Fixed update problem when unlocking journals when "Expand Selected Journals" is disabled in the preferences
Fixed the "Reload Data from this Location" button in the Advanced Preferences
Improved HTML export to include font names, font sizes, improved standards support, underlines, strikethroughs, superscript, subscript, kerning, and ... *gasps for breath* ... text shadows. The finished product looks remarkably like the original in a CSS-capable browser.
Updated Norwegian Localization
Fixed "Print Journal," "Export Journal," and "Email Journal" while a drawer is in focus
The "Move To" menu item will no longer let you move an entry to the same journal in which it already is (another common sense change)
No longer converting all non-ASCII characters to the hex equivalent in HTML exporting (and Blogger). This means wherever it's going better support Unicode (UTF-8). From what I've tested, it all works out.
Some usability changes for the Blogger panel relating to validating the buttons at the bottom
Updated Danish Localization
Removed the key commands for command-1 through -9. Seemed like it was just bloating things. Most journals are greater than ten entries and the entry that you want to get to is usually at the bottom (beyond the usefulness of the number keys).
On a fresh install, the window will now be centered because that's a lot prettier
Inserting a link will now correctly reset the typing attributes afterwards
Removing links from the Clean Up menu will now correctly mark things as unsaved and allow for undo
keyboard equivalents added to Change Date and Change Keyword
In the Change Keywords sheet you can now just start typing into the table to create a new keyword with what you are typing
You can now edit the topic of the summary entry for a journal. The change to the topic will be propagated to the journal itself.
Clicking links when you have multiple journals with the same name around should produce more reliable, desirable results
Updated Catalan localization
The count field in the main window wasn't updating properly when a search ended or if a search began and the current entry didn't change. Fixed.
Realigned some hotkeys:
- F1: focus the main text view
- F2: focus the topic field
- F3: focus the last drawer opened
- F4: focus the search field (or drop down the sheet if the search field isn't visible)
Updated German Localization
Improved the link discoverer to properly recognize things like "<" and ">" that are used to delimit URLs in regular text, i.e. <http://www.apple.com/>.
You're no longer allowed to set negative numbers in the Preferences for Auto Save interval
The text zoom toolbar item now updates continuously as you select items from the list, like the font boxes
If you have Automatic Updates enabled (like you should!) it will now check every day for an update if you leave the app open all of the time
When changing fonts via the toolbar items, it will no longer destroy bolds and italics
Collapsing the active journal is no longer cause to close the drawer and/or open the entries drawer

2.6b2.1

Special release for the great state of Maine

22 June 2004

Fixed importing RTFD files (it was being treated as a folder because it really is a folder on disk)
Fixed selection in drawers after launch that have been resized
Fixed recognizing e-mail address at the end of the entry
When the toolbar is set to small mode, the custom toolbar items like Browse, Opacity, Search, and the new font ones will also hopefully be a little smaller
Updated Japanese Localization
Custom ruler units are now set correctly at startup

2.6b2

All bug fixes all the time, baby!

17 June 2004

Changed the font of the text views in the HTML Preferences to a fixed width font.
fixed the Font Size toolbar item to correctly use what you type after something is selected from the popup list (it would just keep using the last thing you selected from the list)
The Font Face and Size toolbar items will now update immediately the first time you add them to the toolbar (before it would be blank until you move the insertion point about a bit)
Fixed crash when unlocking an encrypted journal with the wrong password
Fixed drawers not remembering their state in between launches
Now setting the default value of the "Append AM/PM" preference based on your locale. If you change this setting, your change will be saved regardless of the locale after that.
Use the spacebar to page down in the drawers (like Safari), and shift-space to page up
Deleting empty journals during a search will not delete all other empty journals now.
Fixed wrapping on the toolbar search field
The search toolbar item should stay in sync with the search sheet at all times
Searching will now correctly update the selection to select the first matching string if the current entry is found in the search
For those that want it, there's a hidden preference to make MacJournal a metal app: "UseMetalWindow"
Fixed exporting to MacJournal format for Jaguar systems
Change the way topics are generated for entries created via the "New Entry With Selection" service: it will now use the name of the application it came from. For Safari, it will also include the URL. For Mail, it will include the Subject of the message.
Added a hidden preference for specifying date formats specifically
The Release Notes will no longer show up in your journal; instead it will show up in an Entry Viewer window
Fixed word count for any language
Improved the Entry Template window for Jaguar users
The "Hide Info Bar" menu item will now be correct if Info Bar is hidden when the app is launched
Moved the key equivalent for "Customize Toolbar" to "Hide/Show Toolbar" where it was meant to be in the first place
Fixed a problem with the default font not being set correctly upon start-up if there was no text to go along with it
Implemented Undo support for those using the Find panel on Jaguar (for Replace/Replace All)
Added temporary "Revert to 2.5" menu item in the MacJournal menu to revert the checkboxes back to their 2.5 representation in case you want to go back. At this point, you don't really need to go back though. This menu item will be gone in the final version.
Fixed errors importing a text file and discovering entries therein
Discovered entries from a text file will be placed in a new journal bearing the name of the text file that spawned them
No longer creating an empty entry when importing folders
The Import->Entries menu item is now always enabled (since it can create new journals). If you try to import entries with a locked journal current, a new journal is created for them because MacJournal is sly like that.
Hold option when clicking the lock button or the menu item to unlock all journals in your bookcase with that password.
Font Face and Size toolbar items will now correctly disable when viewing a locked entry

2.6b1

The Return of the Curse of the Creature's Ghost

6 June 2004

Fixed problem with the entries drawer not updating at startup until you switched journals
Tweaked the importing behavior a bit to be a little smarter. So if you drag in some folders, it will create a journal for each folder with the (aggregated) contents inside. Any loose files will go into a new journal (as before).
Fixed a problem with exporting to HTML or Blogging entries with certain colors in them
Fixed data loss when journals encrypt themselves after locking and there is unsaved data
Unlocking a journal in the chooser window (after using a service) will also select that journal after you unlock it (since you did hit the "Choose" button)
Added more tool tips to various buttons that don't have any other text associated with it
Help->Show Release Notes will now create a journal entry to display the release notes instead of launching another app and letting you edit the file inside the app package. Plus this is spiffier. :-)
Now inserting a blank line in front of appended text when using the new service
Added a warning if you try and double-click the main data file in the Finder to open MacJournal. MacJournal is best opened via the app icon itself and manually opening the data file can cause unexpected behavior (well, unexpected to some), so it's best to just throw a quick warning up to let people know that that's not what they want to do.
Added a little information alert before you install the tool explaining what's going to happen. Whenever you ask for the users password (and you're not Apple) you should probably explain why.
Made yet another change to hopefully fix the occasional crash associated with creating entries from text from Safari via the Services (John this is for you!)
Now saving export settings in between launches
Fixed black space appearing at top of any sheet when you resized it. All thanks to Joe.
Hitting "New Entry" when a locked journal is current will now prompt you for your password and then create the new entry if all works out.
Fixed "Restore from backup"
Fixed encoding of text sent to LiveJournal servers
Creating a new keyword in the sheet and then hitting return will end the editing as originally intended
Journals will always snap shut if they were opened during dragging entries around. Before it depended if the entry was deposited in the journal. This now matchs Mail's behavior.
The iTunes button in the LiveJournal sheet didn't work. It does now.
Now disabling a bunch of menu items and toolbar items when the current journal is locked
Removed the "0 items" for locked journals in the Journals drawer when in Combined view mode.
Added two new toolbar items: Font Face and Font Size.

2.6a8.1

Minor fix #1

22 May 2004

Fix problem with converting consecutive sequences of checkboxes from the old format (which isn't common at all)

2.6a8

The one that took forever to get out!

22 May 2004

Added Share menu to the contextual menu for Entries with items for emailing, blogger, and livejournal
Now saving the frame of the entry viewer window for the next window
When you lock a journal with encryption enabled, it will encrypt itself in memory
Drag some text from the text view onto an entry in the journals drawer and wait: it will become the current entry so you can drag it into that entry's text directly (a.k.a. "Spring-loaded Entries")
Re-enabled dragging a journal onto a journal to copy its entries
Added "New Journal" button to the Journal Chooser window (for Services)
When focus is in the main window, Change Date/Keywords will only act on the current entry. This makes sense when you think about what should happen when all drawers are closed. Put the focus in a drawer to act on whatever is selected there.
Also setting the modification date of exported files (individual style) to be the entry date, for the UNIX guys out there (UNIX has no concept of creation date, so modification date is all you have)
Followup to a bug about checkboxes destroying paragraph style: now fixed the case where the checkbox is the first thing in an entry (with some kind of margin set in the template). This should (hopefully) be all for that one.
Added MacJournal format as an export format
Added "Paste Font" menu item to Entry contextual menu. So here it goes: Copy a font style with the Format menu (opt-cmd-C) and then select some entries and/or journals. Then use opt-cmd-V, or right-click and choose the item, or use the Format menu again to paste that style into all the entries selected. This, of course, is undoable.
Added a (for now) hidden pref to lighten the background picture to a certain fraction: BackgroundPictureFraction. Use a floating point number between 0 and 1 to control how light the background picture is (0 is white, 1 is no change).
Disallowed password changing on locked journals. Didn't make much sense in the first place.
To clear up some checkbox issues, MacJournal is now handling checkboxes differently. Note that this is technically a change to the format of the data on disk. Checkboxes are now stored on disk as a Unicode checkbox character (on or off). When they are summoned to be displayed, the characters are looked for and turned into their equivalent UI checkbox. Benefits: you can export entries with checkboxes to any format and the checkbox will be included. Drawback: opening your data on anything previous to this release will give you the Unicode character instead of the checkbox.
Disabled spell checking on the non-editable summary entry
Disabling the "Use One File Per Entry" button in the export sheet if only one entry is being exported
If you clicked a "macjournal://" URL and launched MacJournal with it, it usually didn't work. You had to click the link again. No more!
Prevented undoing changes back into previous entries that you edited.
Fixed some styles in exporting entries to RTF
When you select the summary entry in the Journals drawer, the Entries drawer will show no selection
Changing the sort order with the summary entry up will correctly update the entry text
Another oft-requested feature that's being done way too late in the process: A new service! Yes, it's called "Append Selection To Entry" and I think it's fairly self-explanatory.
Made a hidden pref non-hidden: you can now select a directory when choosing a background picture to get some randomize action whenever you launch
Foreground and background text colors are now exported to HTML! Go Cascading Style Sheets!
Fixed support for fancy characters (umlauts, etc.) in titles sent to Blogger
hitting tab in the tables should get the focus back in the topic field

2.6a7

a6 was a fixer-upper

18 April 2004

Fixed the Edit Link and Print toolbar items
Fixed the ellipsis after the Unlock item in the drawer contextual menu
Added Edit Link toolbar item to the Entry Template window
Backed out the change for keeping the insertion point black with a background image. It was raising an exception.
Fixed a problem when launching MacJournal on a clean system
The entry template window will now keep up to date with the ruler unit changes in the prefs
Enhanced the import text feature so it doesn't replace the entire text with what you're importing (just inserts it at the selection)
Added pref to auto-collapse other journals when you select one
You can now import new entries from/including folders (it will dive down into folders and pick files out)
Fixed exporting of entries to individual files in RTF and RTFD
Hopefully prevented 10.1 users from using MacJournal (which very much requires 10.2 at this point)
On a trial basis, including a preference to make the journals drawer "simpler" (this was in a6 in a less-useful form). Use the boolean preference "SimpleInterface" from the command line to get at it for now.
Allowing inline editing of journal name in the drawer if Combined mode isn't on.
Use command-down in the drawers to move down a level if you have the journal selected
Added Word format to the Export window (on Panther)
You can no longer visually drag things to locked journals (it wouldn't work before, but now you don't even get the black outline around it)
Fixed crash when dragging an entry into the text view
Added an automatic save before printing from the menu bar so unsaved changes are picked up
Now using short date format for combined view (like in date view itself)
Added some friendly undo support to dragging stuff around in the drawers
Added a timer to check for moods to the LiveJournal panel after typing in the password field (similar to the Blogger one)
Improved Taco.

2.6a6

Last minute menubar changes...

10 April 2004

Changed the blogger title support to hopefully work
reset the focus in the change password sheet each time you open it (i tried to fix this last build, but i broke it again)
Fixed a large problem with e-mailing entries via Entourage: line endings. Entourage can only handle old-style Mac line endings (CR, for you geeks out there), instead of the Unix-style line endings we've all been using on OS X (LF). Thankfully, Mail is cool enough to handle either, so it's CFs for everyone! Thanks Entourage.
Dragging an entry to its journal will now result in a failed drag
Removed Show menus in the main menu. They never made any sense being there. Now that the Action button is easily accessible in the Drawers, that works a lot better.
Created the long-overdue View menu to house View-related items like toolbar stuff and drawers
Fixed checkboxes destroy some paragraph styles when inserted (ruler settings)
Always make insertion point black with a background picture
Topics that are generated from entries created via Services are guaranteed not to have newlines in them
Fixed the Current button in the Change Date Sheet
Removed the Delete Journal menu item. This kind of thing is best done in a drawer now.
Made the Insert Link menu item work in the Entry Template window
Added option key alternative to New Journal to sidestep the naming of the journal right away
Reworded donation nag message since it was incorrect (the menu item had changed locations) and quite dubious grammatically
Fixed the double-spacing that showed up when changing the drawer fonts when Combined view is on
The date of the next entry could sometimes encroach on the last one when printing. Fixed.
If you didn't save your changes in the entry template window, they would still be there the next time you opened the window. Fixed.
Hopefully protected against HTML data sneaking into entries (which will cause crashing when saving).
Exporting things one-entry-to-a-file will give the file the date of the entry
Potentially fixed some blank print jobs one person was seeing
The '+' button in the Journals drawer now creates a journal, since it is the Journals drawer
Redid a little of the Keyword pane UI to make is simpler (in my mind). It also fits in with other system UI elements of the type better, while retaining all original functionality.
Hopefully more of the menu items will work when the drawer tables are in focus more to the user's expectation (i.e. either Export menu item will now work like the Export menu item in the contextual menu). YMMV for now.
Minor reorganization of drawer contextual menus to account for a more parallel construction
Added timer in the Blogger panel to automatically look up your blog ids if you don't type anything for 2 seconds in the password field (in addition to when you tab out)
Added a button to the Edit Link sheet to browse for a file
Turns out Jaguar can't handle alternate menu items. So now they are manually removed on Jaguar.
Added "TXT" as a plain text extension because windows likes it
Testing a new thing where MacJournal will load your data on a separate thread at startup. This makes startup a constant time affair! If your data takes longer to load that the UI does, a window will pop up to keep you entertained until the data are done loading. I wasn't going to do this until the next version, but oh well.
Exported entries to HTML will have a ISO standard date filename, which is more webserver friendly
Added an option to hide the time from all dates because some guy on VersionTracker complained about it in the comments for someone else's app. Yeah, I know.

2.6a5

Tweaks and teeks

27 March 2004

Dirty the entry after creating it via services
Entries with no topic will display their date as a fallback in the summary entry
Added the Blogger hack for sending a title to the Blogger panel. Let's hope it works.
Tried to standardize the display of entries a bit so hopefully the date will always display if there is no topic
Added cleanup option to remove just attachments
Added a Donate menu item
Added Donate button to nag window
Now selecting topic field correcly when creating a new entry by double-clicking an empty spot in the drawer
When unlocking a journal, hold down the Option key to bypass the Keychain altogether
now prompting for a name when creating a new html template
Added warning before deleting a template.
Restored pref to switch drawers upon selection
Made a hidden pref for disabling new command-[1-9] entry selection behavior (DisableNumericCommandKeys)
Drag a VCard to the topic field to insert the name into it
Made the buttons in the drawer prettier
When drawers open on the same side, the other drawer will properly close now
Fixed an issue with checkboxes becoming clones of each other and looking all alike. Note that this fix will only apply to new checkboxes; you'll have to fix the older ones yourself.
Fixed some of the menu items in the drawer button (Export, etc.)
standardized wording you get on delete dialogs (better pay attention to what you are deleting!)
Added a little padding on the edge of the drawer so you can resize the drawer after the window resizes
Added a pref with no UI to randomize the background image (RandomizeBackgroundPicture)
Re-disabled deletion of locked journals. A solution for this need be found....
Fixed the focusing when opening the change password sheet to always be the topmost field
Fixed some edge cases with link highlighting where the links are at the beginning/end of the entry
Cleaned up some other text stuff (such as discovered links will now save properly in all situations)
Now updating the name in the summary entry when the name of the journal changes
Fixed printing from the action menus in the drawers
Fixed exporting to HTML when all the images are the same name
The Show menus in the drawers and menu bar will now have a checkmark next to the current display type

2.6a4

The trick is to know when the draw the line

16 March 2004

Covered some more cases to preserve the correct typing attributes when you switch entries
HTML italics and bolds found in text files when discovering entries from them will be converted to their realistic counterparts
Fixed the line break formatting on some of the exports
Removed the hard restriction for unique journal names. It was more trouble that it's worth at this point.
Worked some magic with the key equivalents:
- Hold down Option key to temporarily disable warnings for some menu items (deleting entry/journal, reverting entry)
- Delete Journal is now Shift-Command-Delete (which is what it should be)
As a somewhat unrelated note, I want to get rid of the preference to disable the warning for Restoring From Backup. The action is undoable, but it seems like something you always want a warning for no matter what. Comments?
Redid the Drawers Preferences. Removed the Behavior radio buttons because I don't think anyone uses the "Switch" mode anymore. You can still auto-close each drawer (individually now).
Added preference with no UI for now: AlwaysShowSummaryEntry (for use with the Journals drawer). Set it to YES in the Terminal to instruct the Journals drawer to show the summary entry whenever you click on a journal, regardless of its expanded status.
Added a non-editable text field and a color well to the Entry Template window to explicitly state the typing attributes that will be saved. This is most useful in the case of "I want a default font, but no text." Note that on Panther it will keep updated more easily than on Jaguar. That's the price of running on an older OS, but at least it works well enough.
Added the much requested "Mail drawer buttons," the "+" button and the "action" button, to both drawers.
Finally figured out how to have the drawers have the same opacity as the main window!
You can now copy and paste checkboxes
Fixed exporting dates with non-ASCII characters in them to HTML
Fixed exporting links/styles to HTML
Mapped Command-[0-9] to the first 10 entries of the current journal (a la Safari)
Fixed Export toolbar item
Made some LiveJournal improvements:
- Fixed formatting issue so sending entries with spaces and quotes works
- Added "Availability" matrix to control who can see the entry
- Remove status field that accounted for the huge empty space in the sheet. If there's an error, you'll still know about it (trust me)
Starting converting the stable of sheets to work non-modally. This will probably have no end-user impact, but it's probably a good thing to do.
Started some work (disabled for now) for storing files dragged in outside of the data file. This will result in smaller files (and less save time) and music/movies that you drag in will continue to work after you quit.
Improved the Change Password sheet to be a little more friendly (disabling the set button and whatnot)
Extended the option for separating exported things to individual files from HTML to all types. So text files should work on iPods, in theory
Re-normalized the width of the Preference panes
Changed the modal window for setting storage location in the prefs to a nice sheet
Added button to Export panel to disinclude entry meta data (topic, date) from exports
Fixed drag reordering journals
You can add a checkbox to the entry template now
MacJournal will now throw up an error when run on systems below the minimum OS requirement (10.2). This will probably become more valuable later on.
Put at an extra check in when decoding journals to make sure password is valid

2.6a3

You win some and you lose some

5 March 2004

Remove line formatting information from Blogger transmissions
Removed "2.6a2" from the Application menu title
Implemented the unfinished Exporting stuff from a2 (that just had the FYI dialog promising new features at that time). Exporting is done all through one panel: different formats, HTML templates, and even any combination of objects. Export just one entry to HTML if you like!
New export stuff also includes a button for splitting entries into separate files when exporting to HTML
Added Export menu to Entries drawer menu
Fixed exporting checkboxes to HTML (and fixed a leak while I was there)
Switched to a more standard method of loading data off a web server which might resolve a reported problem with an Airport Base Station in modem mode
Enabled use of tildes in the Edit Link sheet for file links
Implemented a rudimentary picker screen for picking a journal for text from services to head to.
Revisited some of the Keywords sheet to try to resolve some issues a user was seeing
Fixed a potentally rare, but very real crasher associated with the "summary" entry (thanks John!)
Preferences window now remembers what pane you were on last (as specified in the HIG)
Added a user-friendly check-mark next to the current search type in the little drop down menu next to the search field (in Panther only)

2.6a2

the next feature is typing with your mind!

15 February 2004

Optimized the updating in the entries drawer
Extended the Combined view to the Journals view (it's nifty!)
Resolved some lingering issues with the selection in the journals drawer
Hold down the Option key whilst expanding a journal to collapse all other journals in the process
Improved the link generation and parsing for the future
Made the background color panel less confusing it by closing it if the Preferences window is closed or otherwise loses focus.
Rearranged some things relating to deleting things:
1. Entry->Delete Entry (the menu item) just deletes the current entry only (previously it deleting anything and everything selected in the drawers)
2. Journal->Delete Journal (the menu item as well) just deletes the current journal (as always)
3. Selecting something in either drawer and just hitting the Delete key will delete what is selected in the drawer
This was done to resolve the difference in previous behavior between #1 and #2 mostly. And since you can only select multiple items in a drawer, this doesn't really pose any problems to the workflow.
Dragging an entry into an empty spot in the journals drawer will create a journal and put it in there, much like iPhoto and iTunes
Changed the name of Transfer to Move To and made a Copy To menu item (to match Mail)
E-mailing entries should work better with Entourage
Right-clicking a row in a table will produce a little selection rect around it so you know whatever action you choose in the menu will act on that row, not whatever is otherwise selected
Fixed the entries drawer to truncate the strings like the journal drawer does
For now, journal names must be unique. Non-unique journal names will be changed upon app launch. I'm sure no one will really even notice this.
Journal name changes are now undo-able
Hopefully locking the data file prior to writing to it (O_EXLOCK, if you're interested). This is good for doing stuff like building flying cars and reading minds.
Preliminary (mostly place-holder) for new exporting UI. Right-click an entry in the Journals drawer to export it to HTML. That's it for now.
Added lock item to menu for journals in the journal drawer

2.6a1

Stuff that got pushed from 2.5

29 January 2004

now you can put graphics and checkboxes into the entry template
completely redid the entry template set-up UI. Now it's in its own resizable window with easy access to fonts and colors and rulers (oh my!).
Added some niceties to LiveJournal panel:
- If iTunes is installed, a button will show up. If iTunes is launched, it will allow you to query iTunes for the currently playing song and fill it in there.
- New checkbox to allow you to use whatever the current date is instead of what the entry is marked
New option in the preferences to back up your data to individual files (one file per entry inside a journal folder on disk)
Shuffled some menu items around to make more sense (more will happen for 3.0)
added some more saving of HFS type/creator codes and hiding of file extensions
new panel for displaying issues that have been reported in this build
redid the keywords sheet to be generally more useful
Added "Paste with Current Style" menu item
Added "Change Name" menu item to journal menu
Added a button to the print panel when you print entries for disabling the header
Added a new preference for setting a background image to the main window
Moved user-initiated and periodic saves to disk to a separate thread so it doesn't block the UI quite so much
Added button to the Preferences for the Lock on Sleep preference (that's actually available in 2.5, just not from the UI). This only works in Panther.
implemented a new toolbar item for controlling the opacity of the window. I don't know why.
Entries created from the Services menu now include the first 30 characters of the text as the topic
Truncating long strings in the drawers by putting an ellipsis in the middle
Beefed up the link discovery mechanism to include most, if not all types of URLs.
The Lock toolbar item now correctly shows the state of the current journal right when launching
Hopefully fixed an issue with opening drawers on secondary monitors
removed "Delete all journals" menu/toolbar/pref item because it seemed useless and dangerous (I was probably the only one that ever used it)
now disabling the topic field and text view when the entry is read-only
hold down the option key when locking a journal to lock all available journals at once
Journal names are now required to be unique from one another (while this was probably what happened before, now it is enforced)
Now remembering the state of the ruler inbetween app launches
For beta testers: when a new development build comes out, MacJournal will automatically back up your data from the last build.
Fixed a problem with some date formatting preferences not correctly reestablishing themselves when restarting macjournal
The LiveJournal and Blogger sheets will close if the entry transmits successfully.
now showing status messages in the main window from various things like Blogger and LiveJournal and automatic saves
Fixed a problem where topics and entry text were sorted backwards
Now sorting entries with numbers in the topics better
The segmented control for browsing entries in Panther now has a text-only representation
Yes, topics now update in the tables immediately after you tab out of the topic field (or hit return).
Double-clicking an entry in a table will make the topic field active ("renaming" the entry), to parallel the double-click action of the journal. This one is still under debate....
On Panther, using a new "placeholder string" instead of "<No hint>" in the Unlock Journal sheet if no hint exists
If you use the MacJournal Service and the current journal is locked, it will ask you for your password
Implemented a new version checking feature to take minimum OS of the release into account (for the future mainly)
Now exporting styles out to Blogger
implemented something for "highlighting" text (i.e. changing the background color of the selected text
Clicking on the count field will display the date of the current entry (click again to come back)
From the ill-fated 2.5.3 release:
- Fixed problem in tool with entering passwords
- Fixed issue with copying encrypted journals
- Fixed an issue with sending Unicode to LiveJournal
- Fixed a problem with switching keyboard input methods with F7

2.5.2

...and straight on 'til morning!

9 December 2003

fixed double-prompt in tool
fixed an issue when you would change the text zoom then go back to 100%
Spelling and grammar corrections in German localization
Fix to make file URLs work again

2.5.2b1

It's the little things that kill...

3 December 2003

Fixed a problem with retreive certain kinds of passwords (usually really long ones) from the keychain
Some minor UI changes to further comply with the HIG
Fixed a problem with dragging locked journals into the URL field of the Edit Link sheet
Fixed a data-loser when you modified the "this journal is locked message" and then unlocked it
Fixed a problem with the font being reset after inserting a checkbox
The drawers will remember if they were close when the window is shut, as opposed to just when the app is terminated
added some more console output in case of Blogger network trouble
Fixed a crash in the German localization when opening a MacJournal file
Fixed a problem in the tool where it wouldn't open your data
Fixed e-mailing things with ampersands in them
tweaked some other things in the Blogger panel
Fixed some other problems with URLs

2.5.1b1

Cleaning up loose ends

18 November 2003

Fixed problems with the Edit Link sheet taking the wrong selection range and not respecting pre-existing attributes (like font)
Added (non-UI) control over the "Insert Date and Time Format". Use the command-line defaults tool to set it with the key "InsertDateAndTimeFormat". Use the Cocoa date formatting options.
Fixed a possible crash with unarchiving an old journal file
Started to run the text going to Blogger sites through the HTML character replacement wringer to convert all non-ASCII characters
Fixed a potential issue with exporting to HTML
Now only allowing movie file types to become an embed tag in the exported HTML, all non-image/non-movie attachments get the dreaded "attachment" conversion
Fixed a rare issue that prevented the Preferences window from loading
Fixed an issue where the current entry text would be copied into the new entry when you created a journal. Now the default entry template is used as it should be.
Fixed a problem where auto-discovered links have an extra character on them.
Fixed repositioning journals in the drawer (it would always copy no matter what)
Fixed the next/previous buttons again to go the other direction depending on the sort ordering

2.5

A long time in the making

14 November 2003

Now converting any non-ASCII characters in journal names when exporting to HTML
When importing entry text, now treating HTML as just plain text (as it should be) because the "rich" interpretation can't be archived.
Added Korean Localization!
Now displaying the date of the entry when you open the Change Date sheet. This is what it used to do, but it got tripped up in another change to the sheet.
Fixed a problem with links in Russian localization
Fixed an issue with renaming HTML templates and canceling the dialog
New version of Help; now with less frames than ever before!
Added 'plist' as valid plain text file extension (for importing and such)
Fixed 'Switch to Journals From Entries' drawer behavior
Fixed a data-loser associated with dragging the current entry with unsaved changes
Creating a new journal now endows the initial entry with the template out of the preferences
Resolved some lingering issues with the HTML Template UI
Fixed a problem with the Prepend Day of Week/Append AM/PM not updating the tables based on what the current view is (now that the date may show through if you're viewing topics)
Changed default drawer view to Topic, since the Date is displayed if there's no topic
Bringing up the Edit Link sheet (cmd-K) with the insertion point in the midst of an link will correctly put the link into the sheet for editing
Hopefully working around the crash on launch that some people were seeing when MacJournal is used as a login item (it was a rare occurrence)
Now accepting all file types when importing files as entries (or dragging files into the drawer). Text will be added as text, images/movies/audio will be added as such, and all other types will just be included just as if you dragged them into the text view. It's hard to explain, but it's more powerful to use.

2.5fc6

Small but important fixes

27 October 2003

Tweaked German localization
Fixed crash associated with deleting entries with the warning turned off
Opening the update window while a previous update was going on (the background one at startup) no longer cancels the previous one and begins a new one
Fixed an issue where saving an entry that causes it to re-sort itself can make the information in the drawers stale (leading to "duplicate" entries and so forth)
Updated Icelandic localization
Fixed a mismatch that can occur when right-clicking a journal and trying to change its name/password
Improved memory management in tool
Importing a bunch of text files now sets the date of the new entry to the creation date of its file
Now saving a completely new backup. This is the previous backup. So it goes like this: quit MacJournal for the first time and a main data file and a backup file (which are the same) are written. The next time you quit, the old backup file (the main data file has been updated during the life of the app, but the backup is only changed at quit) is renamed to Previous Backup and the new backup is made of the current data. This is just to prevent more mishaps. This is part of keeping the MacJournal backup preference, which is highly advised.
Retroactively updated version history to reflect actual Panther changes that I couldn't be explicit about until Panther shipped. This dates back to d20.
The new Help documentation is here! Generously donated by a user, it is a lot more complete and helpful than the previous help. Check it out and let me know what you think.

2.5fc5

Bug fixes galore

14 October 2003

Fixed non-ASCII linking on Jaguar-based systems
Fixed printing entries printing a blank page when used before any other kind of printing operation has taken place
Now automatically closing the update window after the "download" button has been pressed
Fixed a crash that may happen when opening the entries drawer after changing journals in the other drawer
Fixed weirdness when managing entries (transferring the wrong entry by mistake, crashes while deleting entries in certain situations, etc.)
Fixed styles after adding a link to the end of an entry on Jaguar-based systems
Fixed the rollover effect when MacJournal is launched with a custom size (i.e. you resize the window, quit, and relaunched)
Some performance enhancements relating to opening drawers and selecting things in the table.
another panther improvement (Added Word .doc files as an importable type)
reset the toolbar so 2.1 users will see the search field even if they've customized before
opt-cmd-F/F8 is now more intelligent about things. if the toolbar is not visible, or if the search item isn't in the toolbar, the sheet will be used instead
updated the search sheet to be a little more intelligent and user-friendly
fixed some things relating to what happens if the primary data file is corrupted

2.5fc4

In reality, this would be something like 2.6.1

6 October 2003

Fixed a mixup that made the entries drawer open on the wrong side
Tweaked localizations
Fixed another problem with non-ASCII links. This one was recognizing them correctly and going to the right entry. It works now.
Clicking a checkbox now correctly dirties the window
Made a stab at highlighting search terms in entries. If you switch to an entry while a search is active, it will attempt to highlight the first word in the text that matches your search string.
The ruler in the entry template text view should now have the correct units (if you can see it at all: i'm going to redesign this pane for 2.6)
Now correctly setting the title of the Preferences window when you load it for the first time (mostly for localization)
Fixed some state problems with the lock button
fixed some oversights when resetting the preferences (some things weren't getting reflected elsewhere in the app)
Fixed backing up as XML
Implemented a new way to find the data on disk. It now handles it like an alias, so you can move and/or rename the folder and it should still find it. You can also put it on a different drive and it will mount it automatically for you.
Switched the E-mailing back to trying to use the default email client. It seems like the truncation issues have been solved for now.
Made some improvements to the LiveJournal password hashing to eliminate any corner cases
Fixed up a bunch of a code and eliminated a potential crash that no one had ever seen before
Fixed a crash when opening up the journals drawer after deleting an entry (this was a fun one to find)
Now resetting the typing attributes after adding a link at the end of an entry so the rest of the entry doesn't become part of that same link (bugs like this are so hard to describe)

2.5fc3

This should be it

26 September 2003

Re-enabled encrypted passwords in LiveJournal after I figured out what I was doing wrong
Spanish language update (including taco quotes!)
Fixed a bug that would kill the Edit Link sheet if an entry was dragged in that had "illegal" (non-ASCII) characters
Updated Serbian localization
Fixed an issue with changing the search type while no search was active weirding things out
Updated link to Matthew Bice's homepage in the Credits
Fixed the next and previous entry menu items to match the changes I made to the toolbar items
Fixed an issue with an entry link to an entry in the same journal
Updated Russian Localization
changed the text zoom toolbar item to an NSComboBox (for those in the know) and added some potentially useful preset values
fixed a crash on startup when you leave the cursor at the end of an entry when you quit

2.5fc2

So close I can feel it

17 September 2003

MacJournal command line tool now supports unlocking journals and custom data paths
Re-updated all the localizations to fix all the layout issues from the origial comprehensive update in the last fc
Added not-my-fault message before E-mailing stuff if it won't work. I'm washing my hands of this; this is bad code on Apple's part. I don't mean to ditch on them or anything, but it is very hit or miss from computer to computer.
Cycling past locked journals now correctly highlights them in the journals drawer
more panther additions:
- Searching out all the help buttons in all of the sheets and replacing them with the new Panther pink buttons when possible
- Dragging stuff to trash to delete them now only works on Panther because I didn't want to boot into Jag to work it out
Restored what Help files are there back to working order
Fixed a bug that would crash the app if no data were found on disk at startup
Added the cool halo effect around the search cancel button

2.5fc1

FC, baby

13 September 2003

Fixed a stupid bug that prevented the Blogger panel from working. Dumb.
Added updated Spanish localization
Added mood and music support to the LiveJournal Panel
Updated Danish localization
Switched the default sort order to ascending so things don't seem to go backwards. I did it in a mean way: if you had changed it before, you'll have to toggle it again. It's a simple thing to do, and it keeps the launch time of the app down
You can now undo insertion of a checkbox
Minor consistency fixes to make sure the selection in the table is accurate
Updated Norwegian localization
Month and day of week names should now be properly localized throughout MacJournal (I hate date formatting)
As this is an FC, 2.5 is no longer able to write the MacJournal 2.1.1 format (it can and will be able to read the format to provide an upgrade path). d24 will be available for this reason if necessary, but I had to disable the code for the final release.
Added more key combos to highlight parts of the UI: F6 for the journals drawer, F7 for entries drawer, F8 and cmd-opt-F for the search field
Disallowed tinkering with the Preferences' toolbar again. I know it might be helpful for some people, but I think for the majority it might be confusing to drag an item out of the toolbar by accident and not necessarily know how to get it back.
Many other small fixes and changes for the final candidacy.
Included first version of MacJournal command line tool. This provides read-only access to MacJournal data. Editing may come in the future, but not for 2.5.
With the magic of shell scripting, all nibs for all localizations have been updated to the current. This probably puts some English back in the other localizations. Localizers, please fix it and send the update to me!
Exporting a single entry will now decide whether it is RTF or RTFD

2.5d24

24 is my lucky number

2 September 2003

Removed all the duplicate items in the menu next to the search field
Pictures will now be exported into HTML documents. I hope. Pictures definitely work, but good luck with other media.
Minor panther improvements
Fixed an issue where the focus wouldn't always be on the top field when you changed a journal's password.
Converted LiveJournal to use an encrypted password instead of cleartext
Fixed an issue where the journal drawer font would get blown away if you set the entries drawer font
Added Norwegian Localization!
Added Icelandic Localization!
Changed the default HTML template. The default template is now XHTML 1.1-compliant.
Redid some of the Blogger panel. Will now go out to the URL you specified and try and get the Blogger IDs when you enter a username and password. I also redesigned the panels a bit to be better layed out. All the localizations that have a localized Blogger panel should be updated as well.
Made the version number comparing stuff a little smarter about '2.5' being better than '2.5d23'

2.5d23

How many times have I said "Last Test Release?"

27 August 2003

MacJournal will no longer dial a modem at startup (to check for an update) if that's your only connection. Please let me know if it's still happening.
Hacked together a Spanish localization from what I had before.
Inserting the date and time no longer selects the inserted text because in retrospect this was kind of a weird thing to do (and not the solution to what it was supposed to solve)
Added some basic undo support to some text field. For example, setting a topic is now undoable
Finally got the encryption to work like I wanted. This means no more MulleCipher. I'm using CDSA, which is included on the system itself. It's probably faster and more secure. Another minor inconvenience for test users in that they have to turn off encryption to migrate, but shouldn't be a big hassle. BTW, I'm now using AES-256 by default. However, this is easily configurable via the command line (algorithm and key size).
The tables will only get the first line of the full text to display, which should improve performance (it won't have to go through your entire 7 book collected works to display each time)
Added a fancy rollover effect to the lock icon in the window. No reason; just cool.
New entry template will now save ruler information even if there is no text. It saves a lot more information now, so go nuts.
Checkboxes are now exported as Unicode equivalents of themselves (showing their state) in HTML

2.5d22

Backwards compatibility is not an optional feature....

20 August 2003

Fixed an issue where the styles from the last edited entry would carry over to newly created entries.
Fixed an issue when starting up with an autosave interval that wouldn't save the data to disk, just into memory
Worked around a weird bug preventing MacJournal 2.1.1 entries from importing into 2.5. It should work now.
The journals drawer will display the date for an entry if there is no topic or text (depending on what is supposed to displayed)
another panther improvement (Hidden preference to lock journals when machine goes to sleep)
fixed a bug preventing the background color of the window from being set in the preferences

2.5d21

This will be cool. Trust me.

17 August 2003

Removed the UI to the special character stuff as promised
Fixed the entry table view line height with respect to crazy fonts again
more panther improvements:
- Topics now take advantage of new special character HTML export conversion scheme
- Recent searches menu for NSSearchField toolbar item
- New "Entries" toolbar item (with an NSSegmentedControl) replaces Back and Forward toolbar items
- Now using Panther's built-in URL support to highlight and follow links where appropriate
- Refined the taco alert panel to use NSAlert
- Bypassing my custom solution for the "gray string" in text fields (like the topic field) and using the Panther solution where possible
Fixed a bug with searching that may clobber an entry with the "no entries found" message
fixed a few small issues with the custom text fields, mostly relating to dragging things into them
hold down Option key when choosing "Remove Styles From Selection" to just remove line height styles for the selection (trying to combat a weird upgrading bug)

2.5d20

Some larger, behind-the-scenes improvements here

27 July 2003

Deleting a journal will now update the window title
Now honoring links, bolds, and italics in outgoing LiveJournal submissions
If it is possible to write the journal as an RTF file (instead of just RTFD), we do that instead now
Added "Show" menu item to show the window if it is closed (in the Window menu)
Completely redid the way special (non-ASCII) characters are handled in HTML export. The Special Characters preference is now completely ignored. All non-ASCII (the 7-bit flavor) characters are converted, no matter what the preferences say. If this works out, I'll rip out all the UI for the preference.
Turns out passwords can only be a certain length, so I'm now checking this and making sure it's valid
Using a dirty hack to get around a bug in Apple's code, entering an incorrect password will no longer crash MacJournal
Added a quick check at startup to make sure the number of journals you started up with is the same as when you quit. Might catch a few disasters.
Inverted the state of Lock toolber item image so it shows the current status of the journals instead of what will happen if you press it (back to what it used to be)
About Dan Schimpf and Check For Updates menu items will always be enabled, even if window is closed or minimized.
Tweaked Serbian and German Localizations
Specifying an empty replacement string in the find panel for replace and replace all will now work
Some improvements for panther (using new NSSearchField where possible)
You can no longer delete a locked journal
Removed the menu item that gets added when the Preferences window is loaded. Let me know if anyone actually knew about this.

2.5d19

WWDC is almost upon us....

12 June 2003

Updated Serbian localization
Added Danish Localization!
Dragging entries into a locked journal will now fail as it should
Resetting the preferences no longer causes the donation window to appear again
Insertion point now correctly lands in topic field (if visible) after creating a journal and naming it
Fixed bug that prevented the current pref pane from updating after resetting the prefs
Added first revision of the help documentation for MacJournal 2.5 with new content and updated file formats
18 more Taco quotes
Fixed the inoperative scrollbar on the special HTML character table
Re-enabled user customization on the Preferences toolbar. Doesn't really match Apple's apps, but it's okay to differ here and there.
Updated other localizations to take care of some minor UI updates

2.5d18

I wish I could work on 3.0

6 June 2003

Now you can drag attachments (pictures, etc.) around to reposition them
Updated French Localization
Changed File menu back to Entry menu for English-speaking folks. I'm still thinking about this.
Importing RTFD files via Import->New Entries now works
Fixed an issue with loading encrypted 2.1 entries
Use F12 to jump to the topic field at any time

2.5d17

I'm tiring of this like a bear loaded up with tranquilizer

28 May 2003

Fixed the disappearing "Close" button in the Blogger sheet. Oops.
When you try to change the default font for entries, the insertion point automatically lands in the text view to prevent any mishaps
The color well that was in the entry template prefs wasn't remembering the default text color. Fixed.
Added Blogger menu item to the English version, others to follow
Removed some code that I don't think was being used. Let me know if anything stops working.
No longer automatically trying to unlock a journal. Double-click it, or use the lock button, or the menu.
Support for the "hand" cursor over links
When you insert the date and time, it is now automatically selected if you want to bold or italic it
Added character set to default HTML template (UTF-8)
Switched encryption again. My Blowfish apparently sucks. Back to MulleCipher for the time being.
If encryption fails for some reason, the data will still saved unencrypted
Changing the password of a still-encrypted journal will work now
Updated Swedish localization
Updated localizations
Redid a lot of the version number comparison code (i.e. 2.1 is better than 2.0.1) to be, well, better. It now differentiates between common developmental labels, i.e. fc is better than b is better than a, as so forth. I am thinking about branding one final candidate eventually (fc), so this was necessary because the old system would not have seen any different between fc and d

2.5d16

Feature-complete my foot!

21 May 2003

Fixed minor cosmetic issues with localizations
Fixed expanded row spacing that could occur in the entries drawer when switching views
Fixed a problem that could cause the HTML export to fail before even showing the save sheet
Now disallowing customization of the Preferences toolbar because I am evil
Changed encryption again. Removed MulleCipher framework. Back to personal implementation of ECB Blowfish, but it shouldn't crash anymore. And it's even backwards compatible with 2.1!
Fixed issue with find panel not getting the global find string the first time you open it
Completely redid LiveJournal posting so it works now. I've tested it, and it actually posts. It never did before, and I only got one complaint the entire time. Oh well.
Improved the stop ("X") button in the search field. Now it sticks to the right side of the field as it gets resized, and it should always be clickable.
Now prompting automatically for a name after you create a journal since I'm guessing "New Journal 2" isn't always what you want

2.5d15

Quick, but good

14 May 2003

Finally fixed the infamous keywords issue! If editing more than one entry's keywords per session, they could all end up with the same keywords. It's all locked down, so keyword away.
Fixed a possible issue where 2.1.1 was being shown in the default html template instead of 2.5.
Fixed a bug where the drawers wouldn't display any text if started up in Combined view
Updated Russian Localization
The email sheet will attempt to fill your email address in automatically when using it for the first time
Fixed issue with dragging certains journals from the outline view to the trash
Switch direction of sort arrows to match what they should be
By popular request, double-clicking in an empty spot in the drawer will create a new entry in the current journal
You can now drag entries from both drawers into the Edit Link sheet (it was just the journals drawer initially)
Updated German Localization
Updated Dutch Localization

2.5d14

The first localized Bubbles release!

9 May 2003

fixed non-operational change entry drawer font button in prefs
stream-lined and optimized HTML export routines to make them faster and stabler
Added updated German localization.
Save to keychain buttons in enter/change password sheets now remembers what you set for next time (defaulting to off)
now updating find panel when the application becomes active again, to more closely match behavior of other find panels
re-included images for the arrows in table headers. they got lost, so the arrows disappeared and you couldn't tell which way stuff was sorted.
fixed weird display bug in the entries drawer when you switched from Text to Combined view
Added Catalan Localization!
Yet more potential crash fixes around keychain accesses
Updated Serbian localization
Updated Japanese localization
Fixed bug where prepending the day of week in date formats would fail to work for the "short" format in drawers.
Changing date format prefs (in the advanced pane) now updates live in the drawer
Fixed a bug that would hobble the app when the text zoom field was cleared. Also made the new minimum a more logical 1% instead of 0%
Added the little X is the search field when a search is ongoing. It's really hacky and not like Apple's, but it works. Hopefully Apple will make the real search field available for people to use.

2.5d13

Now with less crashing!

25 April 2003

special protections around decoding old stuff
added bigger and smaller format menu items
fixed a few things in the version update thing to hopefully crash less
tweaked dragging a bit to make it a little more efficient.
Clearing undo stack when switching entries. you could type something, switch entries, then undo it and mess everything up.
fixed bug where locked journals would be expanded when unlocked even if you specified not to in the prefs
now not saving passwords in the keychain by default
Made some changes to the find panel so it should crash less on Replace All and dirty the document when you replace something
Fixed exporting a journal to text so it works now
text import now works with either \n or \r
Edit Link sheet now replaces all of your spaces with %20
New menu item: Add Link: command-K
you can now drag entries from the drawers into the Edit Link sheet to add their URL automatically
Firmed up the link handler (what happens when you click a macjournal://) to squash crashes
Added Serbian Localization!

2.5d12

Can you tell I want to get this right?

14 April 2003

Dragging journals to reposition them broke in a previous test release, but is fixed now. This also fixes weirdness (potential crash, unexpected behavior) that may result from dragging journals around.
Fixes a shortcoming of the new entry template system that would allow you to set an empty entry with just a font and/or color.
Fixed the weird drawer-is-all-white bug that has been popping up since the 1800s. Why is NSDrawer not an NSView? Can someone please explain this to me?
You can now drag files/URLs into either field in the Edit Link sheet to add their paths. This is very helpful for file URLs.
The journals drawer now switches menus based on what you are right-clicking: entries or journals.
Firmed up text import of entries (with discovery) to avoid potential crashes. let me know if there are still issues.
Fixed a bug with switch entry views in the entry drawer (combined to anything else, and vice versa)
Split up version info files on server to make for a quicker download
When printing an entry with unsaved changes, MacJournal will now use the unsaved text instead of what's saved
Now sorting entry topics case insensitively
Put some safeties in around importing other MacJournal files (of both old and new types) in case they fail

2.5d11

Bug fixers

7 April 2003

Redid some of the HTML template stuff to make more sense
Fixed a bug that would crash MacJournal sometimes if you weren't connected to a network and auto version checking was enabled
Tweaked some things to try to fix the "Delete 0 entries" bug people have been reporting

2.5d10

Mmmm, big, round number

31 March 2003

Tweaked LiveJournal network code to provide more error handling and a better success rate
MacJournal now handles macjournal:// links from outside applications, such as web browsers and...TimeCard (1.0pb3)!
Changed the date format of "Insert date and time" back to the "MacJournal" format that is used elsewhere. I hate, hate, hate date and time formats.
Switched default storage location to a newly-created MacJournal Application Support folder. Your existing paths will not be changed; but watch out if you reset your prefs....
Implemented Undo for a few more things, as well as fixed undo in a lot of other things
Over the past few releases (including this one) I've been doing all I can to reduce startup time. I just clocked it informally on my machine and it was twice as fast launching!
Implemented brand new version checking system that runs much better. It also runs automatically at startup (in the background) unless told not to in the preferences.
Corrected an issue where the font panel would not work right after changing the drawer fonts in the prefs.
Add an export of single journals in MacJournal format. This is for the folks who have gigantic collections of data so they can farm some of it out.
Fix a bug where the keychain wouldn't get the new password if it was changed.
Fixed printing journals
Added some common source code file extensions for importing text files via drag and drop or the menu item

2.5d9

This is all one big joke...on me

31 March 2003

Fixed entry view type (topic, date, etc.) not saving upon relaunching app
Fixed memory leaks in the find panel
Changed wording in find panel to read "Entire Entry" to minimize confusion over what the find panel actually does
Fixed the inelegant way the info bar hid itself at startup; you'll never see it now
You can now use Enter as well as Return to dismiss all sheets
MacJournal now remembers the size of the drawers
Fixed printing, which apparently had been broken for the past few test release, but I just kept forgetting about it because I never print anything.
Tweaked table cells a bit and switched to a Apple-provided custom cell for quality.
Removed check marks for the transfer menu. It didn't really make sense.
Worked around a bug in Interface Builder that cause the Delete Entry/Journal menu items to have a key equivalent of command-forward-delete instead of regular delete no matter how many times I set it. It's regular delete now.
Put a one-time-only nag window for donations. this is probably as far as i'll ever go with MacJournal.
Fixed a crasher introduced in d8 involving re-locking journals that were encrypted.
Fixed an issue where an empty entry would take on the font and color of the previously viewed entry when switched too.
MacJournal won't write the journals to disk during each implicit save anymore. It will still write on user-initiated saves (menu and toolbar). This is for optimization purposes.
Switched to MulleCipher (and Twofish) for my encryption purposes. This should solve some of the crashes that popped up with 10.2.4.
Fixed a stupid, stupid bug about archiving a locked journal that is not encrypted. Stupid. This will break format, but I'm not going to provide backwards compatibility to d8, just a big, fat warning in d9.
Implemented key-based coding. The tyranny of the version number is over! Hopefully performance won't be too bad. Unfortunately this forces a new file extension because I couldn't freaking get it to work any other way. But it's okay: I wanted to switch it to ".macjournal" a long time ago.
Took out the encryption radio buttons in favor of a single button. No functionality has been lost, but it is easier to use by far now.
Changed "Entry" menu back to "File" menu to be more HIG compliant
Another long-awaited feature: text zooming! It's a toolbar item. Zoom away!
Special entities in the HTML templates pref pane now tell you what their value is after you type in the illegal character
Changed LiveJournal networking yet again, this time to straight CFNetwork for their HTTP streaming stuff. I tried to do this two or three networking cores ago, but didn't know what I was doing. I still may not now; let me know if it works for those that actually have livejournal accounts.

2.5d8

The end is in sight....

13 March 2003

Completely revamped the e-mail stuff! It works now for text of any length. The e-mail is actually sent from MacJournal (courtesy of the Message framework) instead of opening your e-mail client. E-mail addresses are looked up in the Address Book!
Tweaked the startup behavior to warn the user whenever the load fails
Added ability to add links using the sheet when there is no text selected.
Tweaked HTML export a bit to change two newlines into a and a single into a
Messed around with the behavior of "Next" and "Previous" to make it more logical. It wraps now, and should head in a more obvious direction
Removed "Cycle Journals" menu item in favor of just having it work quietly.
Added "View" submenu to Journals menu to mirror the Entry menu
Fixed dragging things from either table into the trash. (it used to crash)
Added "remove style" menu item
Removed buttons at the bottom of drawers. For clutter.
Delayed some stuff at app launch to speed the launch up greatly
Added support for symlinking the text backup of entries
Fixed a bug that prevented deletion of entries when the warning was turned off.
Fixed a crasher with Import Entries from Text
minor feature improvement: more stats: number of characters and average word length
modal error dialog when a save-on-quit fails (instead of a sheet that didn't stop anything)
Much more secure encryption scheme (much, much, much...). This is actually quite notable. It wasn't very good before, and this one should actually work a lot better. This also means a new file format (newer than past test releases and much newer than 2.1).
fixed an issue with setting the font of the tables (whoops)
fixed bug where MJ wouldn't switch to a new entry after creating it
actually remove the number column in the entries drawer if numbering is disabled, instead of just not displaying anything there
took out UI for using old journal format (new is now the default). still accessible via command line, see release notes
switch networking cores yet again from DSSocket to NetSocket (based on CFSocket)
Did some work on the way prefs get initialized so the app will hopefully launch quicker.
Other random bugs that I can't remember right now

2.5d7

I got kidnapped. I swear.

2 December 2002

Fixed a bunch of memory leaks. Exciting!
New import behaviors:
- Drag all kinds of text files (rich/plain) into drawers to create entries with them
- Import text command now accepts multiple files and does the same thing as above
Fixed an issue with double-clicking in the journals drawer not recognizing when you double-clicked a journal vs. an entry
Fixed a bug where changing the current journal name would fail to update the title of the window with the new name
Started inverting the insertion point color when the background color gets below a certain brightness (60% right now). Terminal-savvy users can control this number with the defaults system by using the key InsertionPointColorDivision (default is 0.6).
Redid how each outline view cell draws (using a new custom subclass) to get rid of aesthetic oddities and general programming hacky-ness
Background color pane now updates continuously as opposed to only when the "apply" button is pressed
New Feature! Control the font of both tables in the drawers using the Drawers pref pane. I like this one!
Preferences now adds a menu with all the available panes when the window is open (and removes it when it closes)
Scrapped some things in the interest of releasing this thing this millenium:
- storing journals as multiple files on disk instead of one
- super-customizing date format
- FTP transfer
New warning when a save fails
Backup options: backup as MacJournal file, text, and/or XML file
changed default location of saved data to ~/Documents. for fun, I guess.
New networking core (replaced SmallSockets with my own kind)

2.5d6

Fortified with vitamin WWDC

22 May 2002

Fixed issue with search menu accidentally not working in d5
Removed "MacJournal:" and little icon from window title. Blame Matt. :-)
Finally figured out how to get the search/topic text fields to work properly when dragging a string to them (i.e. auto-initiate the search, or dirty the entry automatically). Finally!
MacJournal is now aware of the info bar when putting the insertion point in the topic field (it won't if it's not visible, it will go to the text view)
Preference window now has a key equiv: the semicolon!
Fix a problem with not loading the auto save pref into the window when loading, and added an "enabled" button to make things clearer.
As a neat side-effect of some other improvements, you are returned to the entry that was previously opened before locking the journal after you unlock it again. Fun times.
Added option for including AM/PM in dates. In Advanced pane for now.
Got rid of ugly drag images when dragging stuff in the entry drawer; now it just does the text representation (like I always wanted it to)
Made several things relating to tables/outline views and drag-and-drop more efficient (and a lot easier to read the code)
Made more things a lot more efficient (I'm really working on this stuff)
Added special sheet to search for people with their toolbars set to text only
Big new feature: include checkboxes in entries (for to do lists, and the like). Use the menu item in "Entry", or command-L
Big new enhancement: bold and italic attributes are now exported into HTML! Links are also translated into HTML anchor statements. I'll work on images for later on.
Completely rewrote most of the drag and drop code (still should be careful of dragging things)
Reinstated the option to "switch" drawers upon selection in the journals drawer (I took it out when I killed the second drawer)
Neato new feature: importing a .mjj file (by dragging the file or with "Read Journals") will (if necessary) prompt to *replace* journals with names found in the dragged file (for restoring backed-up files or synchronizing two copies of MacJournal)
Undo might actually work now. I'm not sure when it stopped working, but it should now.
Completely overhauled the preferences system to be more correctly done and cut down on weird issues
Changed the "change date" sheet to a simple text field with a formatter instead now that I have a handle on formatters
And, of course, improved Taco

2.5d5

School's out!

28 April 2002

Re-implemented the Entries drawer to complement a modified Journals drawer. There is now a preference to turn off auto-expanding of a selected journal, so it basically can work like it did in earlier versions if specified.
New pref for turning off numbering in entry drawer (actually in window now)
Pref for quitting when window is closed is actually in the pref window too now
HTML export special tag "date" has been split into "date" and "time" (self-explanatory functions)
Each journal now saves what entry you were last looking at in it, so switching to another journal will bring you right back to it
Dragging plain text or rich text (w/ or w/o attachments) creates an entry with the text in either drawer (I may have mentioned this earlier, but the rich text part is definitely new)
Worked on efficiency of the code a lot (cutting down the number of times the same helper method is invoked for each user-initiated action), so things should be faster, especially when starting and quitting MacJournal
Implemented Import/Export for HTML templates. Back 'em up, or trade 'em with your friends with the magic of XML.
Rewrote a lot of how the special text fields (search and topic) work to make them much more efficient and standardized in appearance (I'll make a good programmer out of me yet)
Also sped up how my customized "Combined" table cell draws to make it a lot more efficient
Re-implemented LiveJournal support (the frameworks are now included) and added some prefs for it
Began work on a possible FTP feature (it doesn't work at all yet)
Implemented some basic text cleanup abilities:
- Multiple Spaces -> Tab
- Multiple Spaces -> Single Space
- Strip Leading spaces
The find panel now recognizes some escape sequences (\n \t \r) for both finding and replacing
Topics can now officially be only one line in length (it was possible to paste a whole article in there, which is confusing)
New pref for adding the day of the week into dates. It's in the Advanced pane (for lack of a better location). Restart MacJournal for it to take effect
Moved the window-closing pref into the advanced pane too.
Testing out a software update menu item. It's in the MacJournal menu (and it actually works!)
And, of course, improved Taco

2.5d4

Stupid frameworks

6 April 2002

Disabled the LiveJournal stuff because it turns out that I don't know how to include frameworks yet. I'll figure it out (if I think it's important enough), but I'm too busy now. I wanted to get a test version that actually launched on any machine other than mine out there.
Added ability to drag to the search and topic text fields. This is something that should be there by default....
Dragging text into the drawer creates a new entry in the dragged-to journal with that text (as requested)

2.5d3

Will anyone use LiveJournal support?

17 March 2002

New toolbar item for LiveJournal uploading
Fixed a bug that would prevent the dock menu from updating when a journal was locked
Keyboard alternatives for center, left, and right justify. You'll just have to full justify things with the mouse for now. Sorry 'bout that.
Importing text (including RTF/RTFD) appends it instead of replacing the contents of an entry (this one started here and had to be integrated into the 2.1.1 source. Kind of annoying...)
Added a "Cycle Journals" which is essentially the same as Increment journal, but uses Command-Tilde instead. I wish I knew a better way to register keyboard equivalents....
Fixed some problems with passwords being of length 0 and still locking journals
Fixed the weird problem that caused the pref window to not load (or load blank)
There may have been some issues with the encryption between this and earlier builds. See, I removed the special encryption key to post the code, and kind of forgot to put it back in.... I put an extra check in there for this build just in case. You may find your passwords wiped out, and you should turn off encryption in d2 before replacing it with this one. Sorry!

2.5d2

I should be working on 2.1.1

10 March 2002

Firmed up the Drag and Drop and reimplemented stuff that I hadn't gotten around to doing (I've had to basically rewrite all the dragon drop code because of the way outline views work, so I'm really wishing I hadn't been so enterprising for 2.1!), so it might be usable now. I said "might...."
Implemented the much-anticipated Link editing feature. Check this out:
- New toolbar item for editing links
- Option-click on links to edit them too
- Intra-MacJournal linking of the form macjournal://Journal Name/Entry Topic
Integrated some improvements from 2.1.1

2.5d1

Let's try this...

4 March 2002

Scrapped the Entries drawer and moved the Journals drawer to a hierarchical outline view. Maybe this will work.
Put the search field into the toolbar with a custom toolbar item
Put the different viewing preferences (date, topic, text) into a contextual menu on the outline view

2.1.1

Maintenance Release

21 January 2003

Added a warning dialog if MacJournal can't save to the designated location.
Added a check so that if the save location is ever messed up, revert back to the default (~/Library/Preferences) and not totally fail like before.

2.1

HTML Smackdown!

26 February 2002

Totally revamped HTML export to give full control over templates and special characters
Real encryption for saved entries! Turn encryption on and off in the Advanced preferences, or choose to just encrypt locked journals
Updated localizations
Added Russian Localization!
Greatly enhanced drag-and-drop
- move entries directly in a journal (option-drag to just copy it)
- drag journal files from the Finder into the journal table
- reposition journals in the drawer (option-drag to just copy it)
- copy an entire journal by dragging it onto another one
MacJournal now remembers the location of the insertion point in journals
Command-clicking the window title now displays the path to the data files
If no data files are found at the specified location, MacJournal no longer changes the preference, it just looks someplace else temporarily
Added control over opaqueness preference (that existed in 2.0)
Added ability to set an interval to automatically save entries
MacJournal no longer quits when the window is closed. Show the window again with the menu bar or by clicking on the dock (to be more HI compliant)
Fixed a bug where toggling the sort order would loose the current entry (the row stays highlighted, the entry changes)

2.0

Finally!

7 February 2002

Changed control of the sort order from the menu to just clicking the column header in the drawer (more standard that way)
Added Portuguese Localization! Sort of!
Inverted the order of the entry numbers for it to make more sense

2.0fc3

ad nausem....

28 January 2002

Remedied an issue with using the arrow keys in the entry/journal lists from early builds of 2.0
Add cool "drag images" when dragging things from tables
Fixed a problem with deleting the prefs file, then trying to use MacJournal
Greatly overhauled how MacJournal deals with preferences to make it more industry-standard (preparing for source release)
Began work on 2.1 features while waiting for localizations to get finished. Should be a quicker turnaround for this one....
I now use the localized date format from System Preferences instead of my own (why wasn't it like this in the first place?)
Added Japanese Localization!
Added Swedish Localization!

2.0fc2

Why won't he just release it?

21 January 2002

Added ability to select multiple entries in order to delete, transfer, print, export, change date, and change keywords. Quite an undertaking, believe you me.
Redesigned entries drawer GUI to make selecting different views (date, topic, etc.) easier and to re-enable text viewing
Added "gray strings" to the topic and search field that display when they're not selected/filled. Eye candy.
Fixed question mark buttons in sheets that did nothing but beep
Fixed issue with umlauts in the German localization not showing up.

2.0fc1

New features galore!

14 January 2002

Services! Highlight any text anywhere and use the services menu to make a new entry with it.
Dock Menu! A new feature in 10.1 allows you to create a new entry/journal using the dock icon. It also displays your current entry's date and topic
New Preferences window! Again! The prefs window I always wanted.
The adjustable bar in the middle of the window is gone in favor of a removable Info Bar! It's just like Mail, or the Finder, and what I always wanted it to do.
Added ability to control background color of main window.
Added keywords to each entry for added searching ability
Replaced Text tab in the Entries drawer with a combined view of both the Date and the Topic
Search field automatically searches if you type something (a la Mail)
HTML export now adds the correct DOCTYPE (standards are good)
MacJournal now adds the correct Metadata tags to saved journal files (as well as the filename extension).
New toolbar item and menu items for e-mailing entries and journals. It will open up your default e-mail app. E-Mails over 1K will be rejected because they are too long (this is not my limitation).
URLs when clicked will open up in your browser (you must save an entry for URLs to be highlighted)
Journals can be exported to plain text files
New file format for saved data. Once you open 2.0, you will be unable to open 1.5.4 or earlier to read your entries, but you also won't be able to read them in any text editor.
Drag and Drop! Drag entries and/or journals from the tables to the Finder or the entry text
The order of the numbers in the entry drawers now toggle with the sort order
Standard find window added for entry text
New Journal statistics toolbar item
Transfer entries between journals using the Entry menu or the contextual menu
Toolbar items for Import/Export entry text fixed
Journal name is now displayed in the window title instead of current entry time
Fixed annoying crash when using toolbar items to drop down sheets
Fixed bug when attempting to change journals before opening the journals drawer
And, of course, improved Taco!

1.5.4

10.1 Compatibility

30 September 2001

Fixes bug introduced with OS X 10.1. Apple started enforcing the difference between mutable and immutable sets....

1.5.3

Small feature additions and bug fixes

26 September 2001

Open and save directories are now saved between uses and app launches for your convenience
You can now designate where you want the entries to be stored (to allow for automatic backup and/or greater convenience with multiple users)
Added support for translating some special characters when exporting a journal to HTML so they'll show up nicely (notably: emdashes, smart quotes, and the Euro)
Fixed the mega-obnoxious interface bug where the window contents would stay the same size after you resized the window and restarted the app.
Fixed an annoying bug that prevent the app from properly quitting when the window was closed in a certain case (i.e. a drawer was open)
Fixed a bug in the Spanish and German versions that would prevent the user from unlocking a journal in those languages (oops!)
Long lines will no longer be clipped off when printing entries
Many, many small bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements
Still waiting for my development copy of Mac OS X 10.1 ....

1.5.2

Incremental Update and Bug Fix

22 August 2001

French Localization!
Entries are now saved when locking the journal
Better protection against corrupted files. When in doubt, however, save them out as a backup!
Added option to lock journals with passwords on quit
Searches are now ended properly when the search box is cleared
Fixed interface bug that affected windows that had been resized beyond the factory default size
Restored the Ruler toolbar item

1.5.1

Bug fix

14 August 2001

Fixed a nasty bug in exporting journals to HTML

1.5

First public update

13 August 2001

Added the German Localization!
The way dates and times display is now localized
Another oft-requested feature: you now have the option of exporting a printing an entry with its topic and date attached.
MacJournal will stay on the same entry when its time is updated (and moved to the top of the list)
Advanced searching has been implemented to show all entries in a journal with the given search terms. You can also switch journals to continue the search.
MacJournal now uses the Apple Help Viewer for its brand new (actual) help documentation
Journals can be exported to both RTF, HTML, and printed (and therefore exported to PDF using the printing dialog box)
A few more and arguably negligible changes from beta 1.

1.1b1

Limited testing release

27 July 2001

Multiple journals! MacJournal now supports as many individually named journals as you want.
Journal locking! The most requested feature is now here. You can lock each journal with its own password. If Keychain support ever comes natively to Cocoa, I'll add that too.
MacJournal now starts up on the same entry in the same journal as you left off in when you quit
The usual bug fixes (mostly behind the scenes; nothing visible) and performance enhancements
Removed the Ruler toolbar item because it was too redundant and not useful enough. Rulers are still available from the Format menu.
Added some new preferences (like default color and font) that required me to reset the preferences if you've used 1.0 before. Sorry.
MacJournal will no longer exit out if bad journal files are loaded at startup (it will just make a new one and chug along)
Redesigned preferences window to accomodate new options. If Apple ever releases an API for their nifty preferences window (like System Preferences), I'll do it that way.
A lot of other, possibly major stuff that I'm too lazy/forgetful to record
Improved taco :-)

1.0

Initial public release

12 July 2001

You can now undo an import
Added a menu item to get to my website
Added a preference to remember the continuous spell-checking state (default is "off")
MacJournal now backs up entries every time it quits. These entries (stored in a different file) can be accessed using the Restore from backup menu option. It is undoable, and you can turn off the warning.
Added a Spelling toolbar item that does the same thing as the "Check Spelling" menu item
Contextual menus for the drawer
The main window now tells you what entry you are currently viewing as well as the total amount
Added a format checking method for the entries stored in a file.
Completely rewrote how Preferences work and the window is displayed. It looks much prettier, and it works much prettier as well.
New icons for a lot of things, including the application. I need a graphics department!
I tried to let the user control where the drawer comes out of, but there's a bug in Apple's code relating to this, so that's on hold for a future release of MacJournal
Added a "Text" tab to the drawer. It displays the first line of each entry so you can chose them that way. There's also a preference for what tab will be selected first.
Improved the user experience to more closely match that of OS X (stuff like "dirtying" the window when an entry is unsaved)
Other minor improvements and streamlines. A lot of things are now done properly that were just "working" in prior releases.

1.0b2

Second testing release

2 July 2001

Fixed a bug where the topic listing in the drawer wouldn't update if the topic would change in the main window
attempted to put an icon on the application
Preferences! Now you can shut off any and all warnings in the application. It even has a window all to its own!
Default toolbar items have been reshuffled, and many new items have been added to the stable.
Import/Export! You can now import and export the entry text to rtf/rtfd.
MacJournal now actually stores all the different fonts/colors. Be happy.
Spanish localization! I did as much as I could; anything that's left is Apple's fault.

1.0b1

Initial testing release

25 June 2001

No user preferences (unlikely for first release)
Printing kind of bites. Only the entry text is printed, and not very attractively.
The default toolbar items are still very much in the air. They may change before the final release.

MacJournal 7
