Improvements in this release:
The sidebar mini-month now immediately updates when toggling the "Show ISO Weeks" preference
Fixed issue where the alarm for a task would fire even after you completed the task. Likewise, fixed issue where the alarm for a task or event would fire at the original time if you rescheduled that calendar item.

Resolved some issues with navigation in the Days (column) view
Improved record/playback button behavior for voice notes
Reduced CPU use when multiple note windows are open
Fixed an issue with certain custom recurrence rules on repeating tasks
Improved the logic for setting start/end times on an event when you convert a task to an event
Fixed issue where Informant would sometimes mistakenly identify events as read only. Among other issues, this would cause some contextual menu options to be incorrectly disabled.
Subtasks were not always sorted properly
Don't offer priority of "Top" for Reminders (Apple doesn't support "Top")
The priority menu for Reminders should always be standard priorities, even in Franklin Style mode
Sometimes, when hovering over a task section header, we didn't show the "show/hide" button

New in Informant 1.02.50394 Beta (Feb 14, 2018)

New in Informant 1.00.50371 (Nov 20, 2017)

NEW & IMPROVED:
NEW: Basic printing support that mirrors what we offer on Informant for iOS.
NEW: Added support for Franklin-Style priorities! This means you can now use ABC/123 prioritization on Informant for macOS. They sync as expected from Informant for iOS. You can right-click on a task to quickly assign a priority from A-C and from 1-10. If you need to go further than that, you can go into the full editor for the task. The Franklin-Style priorities show up in a task row underneath the title (similar to iOS)
NEW: Meeting Invites: You can now send events to meeting attendees as you can on iOS (for local and Informant Sync events). Simply set up an email account in the Informant Account settings to handle the sending of meeting invites.
NEW: You can now re-order checklist items. If you are using Informant Sync between your Mac and iOS devices, the order of checklist items is kept in sync between all your devices.
NEW: Added URL field to tasks
NEW: You can now export a calendar as an ICS file
NEW: You now have the option to show or hide declined events (for non-Apple events)
IMPROVED: In search results, completed tasks are now reverse sorted by completed date instead of due date
IMPROVED: Visual improvements with the Subscribe Calendar sheet
IMPROVED: When you add a new checklist item, it will remain as the bottom checklist item rather than getting reordered (like previous versions of Informant for macOS did)
IMPROVED: No longer show the Completed Date field in the editor unless you are editing a completed task
IMPROVED: Minor UI improvements throughout the app
NEW: Templates have been converted to Triggers! If you are an I5 customer on iOS, then you are probably familiar with Triggers, but for those who aren't, here's a brief overview to a fairly significant change:
Unlike a Template, a single Trigger can be defined to apply to an event, task or both
With Templates, when you applied them to an event or task, they would wipe out all fields with the data contained in the Template. Triggers are far more surgical. Triggers only affect the fields you explicitly specify when you apply them to an event or task.
You can set keywords on triggers so that as you type into the Title field of a new event or task, it will automatically offer to apply that trigger.
You can now sync your triggers between Informant 5 and macOS!
Your existing templates will be converted to Triggers on the first launch of this update.
FIXES:
When you drag a checklist item to a new parent task (that doesn't have any child tasks at all), then the checklist item is preserved as a checklist item (in past builds, it would get converted to a subtask)
Changing the color or time zone of an event calendar didn't immediately refresh the current calendar view
Resolved a few issues with repeating events
Fixed various minor text / phrasing issues in Informant notifications
Multiple fixes and improvements to handling ICS files (both importing and exporting)
Performance & stability improvements throughout the app
Improved compatibility with macOS High Sierra
Updated localizations

New in Informant 0.99.50339 (Sep 5, 2017)

Fixed issue where sometimes you might see gaps in your recurring events
Fixed issue where multi-day repeating events would show duplicate occurrences in certain situations
Fixed issue with Google Task sync where clearing a due date wouldnâ€™t sync that change back up to Google
Using an emoji as part of your search string should now work properly
In alarms on all day events, the description of the start time was a day off
Fixed issue where Informant Helper may not properly launch automatically
Snooze and Complete options weren't working from Informant alarms/notifications (regression in M8.5)
Location suggestions are now properly updated as you keep typing your location (in M8.5, the list would grow with duplicate suggestions)
Autocomplete suggestions in the location field now includes relevant Contact addresses
Fixed crash when typing a location if Informant was not granted access to Contacts
Fixed crash if you opened a support request that included your database while Informant was on the Task view
Show leading 0's for 24hr time
Overdue tasks in Stacked Week View now respect the Overdue color
Project Editor was not selecting the sync account properly when editing a Reminder list
The section header show/hide buttons didn't work in Notes View
Informant would hang if you attempt to select a multi-day event in the past that spanned multiple weeks while you were in Month View
Sometimes Month View wouldn't update properly if you dragged an item from one of the top visible rows to the bottom visible row
A couple features wouldn't work as expected while Informant was in Trial Mode
Smart filters with the following rule pattern wouldn't work correctly: Tasks Completed within the last X days. NOTE: If you have made a rule like this on Informant for macOS, you will need to edit the rule and re-save it for it to get fixed.
When editing an all day event and changing it to a timed event, the time zone picker now properly selects "Local"
Fixed some layout issues with the custom recurrence rule editor in German
Don't show the "Repeat from Completion Date" option when editing an Apple Reminder
Removing a project from Informant Sync should make the project be local instead of completely removing it

If your Default Task Project was set to a Google Task project, the setting was ignored and it would always default to Google's default project
If you had an All Day event on a DST transition and you dragged it to a new date, it would convert that event to a 2 day event
Updated Localizations
Several internal performance and stability improvements
Minor visual improvements

New in Informant 0.99.50298 (Apr 7, 2017)

NEW & IMPROVED:
You can now re-order sections in the Focus view (this is done in Focus View Preferences)
The Focus Menu Bar item is now a "tear off" menu. You can open it from the menu bar, then drag it to wherever you want.
You can now drag/drop between the Focus Menu Bar item and the main app
You can now drag / drop notes to items on the sidebar (e.g. to a project, tag, mini-month, etc)
Month and Stacked Week view now support multi-select drag and drop
You can now select a mix of items in a calendar view (events, tasks, notes) and delete them all at once
You can now right-click on a backup (in Advanced Preferences) to show that backup in the Finder
We have standardized on the term "Projects" for both notes and tasks. Before, we would inconsistently use the term "Notebooks" or "Projects" when you were on the Notes view.
Projects can now be designated as allowing "Notes Only", "Tasks Only" or both. Certain sync accounts only support specific data types, so in those cases, the editor locks you into a single choice. Likewise, Toodledo only supports mixed projects, so the editor restricts Toodledo projects to "both". Informant Sync supports projects being in any of those 3 states. When a project is "Tasks Only", it will not show at all in the Notes view (and vice-versa).
Time zones now appear in the sidebar for calendars locked to a specific time zone
Visual Improvements to the time zone picker when editing a calendar
The event editor now supports specifying time zones when creating/editing an event
Month and Stacked Week view now show the time zone on an event when that event is on a calendar locked to a specific time zone
Informant no longer prompts you for span when deleting an exception
When grouping by project, the task view now sorts tasks in a sequential project according to the user-specified sequence
Making a child task (via command-return) now sets the priority of the child to match the parent
Completed checklist items always show regardless of your "show completed tasks" setting. This is consistent behavior with Informant on iOS.
Updated to a new process for logging into Google and Toodledo Sync Accounts. Informant for macOS is now ready for upcoming authentication changes that Google is making in April. NOTE: While Informant should migrate your existing logins, there's a chance that after updating, you might need to log back into your Google or Toodledo Sync Accounts.
Various UI improvements throughout
New & Improved logic for automatic "Next Action" handling on sequential projects:
Parent / child tasks are treated more like "sub-projects" now. If you set a parent task to "Active", then the first subtask will become the Next Action.
This means you can now have multiple next actions within a given project (the first task in the project along with the first subtask of each "active" parent task)
During automatic Next Action promotion, if the first task in a project is a parent task, it will now set that parent task to Active and the first subtask will become the Next Action
Next action promotion now stops if it hits a task that is in the Hold or Planning status
FIXED:
Fixed annoying "text wiggle" when you inline-edited the title of an event/task
The calendar filter for the Today sidebar would get lost when quitting Informant
Sometimes the editor would not appear when double-clicking an item in Stacked Week view
Fixed issue where the sidebar mini months would jump to a seemingly random month when you first launched the app
Certain views didnâ€™t update themselves properly if they were left open across midnight
When you duplicate a parent task, it now also properly duplicates all subtasks (instead of just the parent)
Fixed several issues that could occur when duplicating a project that contained tasks with subtasks
Pasting a task into a different project, context or tag now works as expected
Donâ€™t allow adding a subtask to a completed parent task
Donâ€™t allow command-return to make a subtask on a checklist item
Sorting by title in Notes view was broken (you would get a blank screen)
Sometimes when editing a task with a custom recurrence, the custom recurrence editor didn't visually set itself up properly
Worked around a macOS bug that would sometimes result in a crash if you tried to undo some typing
Improvements to the handling of icons on Apple Calendar events
The "dim future tasks" option now works properly in Focus View
Long titles werenâ€™t always properly displayed in search result rows
The tab title didnâ€™t update if you renamed a project while that project was open
Certain contextual menu items were incorrectly enabled for checklist items
Renaming a smart filter wouldn't always properly update the focus view
Numerous internal improvements and fixes to drag & drop
Dragging a task from one project onto a task from another project would properly make it a subtask, but would not properly change the project of that subtask to match its parent
When switching from a calendar view to a non-calendar view (like the tasks view), the sidebar mini months wouldn't clear the "Selected Range"
Improvements and fixes to the management of backups (in the Advanced Preferences)
Fixed issue with calendar contextual menu if you had multiple events selected
Fixed some issues with the "Project" contextual menu item on notes
Adding a voice note to an empty note would fail
When the default due date was set to "Next Friday", new tasks were being made for "Next Thursday"
Creating a new Reminder "list" (aka Project) within Informant wasn't getting saved in Apple Reminders
Fixed regression in latest M8 build where the default project wouldn't be auto-selected when going into preferences
Fixed issues copying/pasting recurring events
Quick Entry (NLP) in the Today menu wouldn't respect the currently selected day if you specified a time in your "quick entry" string
Fixed issue where if you dragged an image into a new note immediately after it was created, it would fail to save the image
Improved reliability of syncing notes containing images to/from Informant 5 using Informant Sync
Numerous internal improvements (we now have a fully shared codebase with Informant for iOS, updated to Swift 3, updated several 3rd party frameworks, prepared ourselves for planned future features, etc)
Various fixes and improvements to Alarm notifications
Stacked Week view might sometimes failed to load data (unless you swiped back and forth a few times)
For now, our in-app support feature will pop open a new email in your email client. We are working with HelpShift to resolve issues with their SDK that would give a "network error" when attempting to submit support requests directly within the app.
Several stability and performance improvements
Several fixes to how we manage the on-demand loading of Evernote note content.
Several improvements to note navigation & editing:
We no longer immediately put the focus in the note body when you select a note - this allows you to use the arrow keys to move up/down in the notes list. You can use to get into the selected note.
We also fixed some situations where a note would randomly lose focus or situations where the note would appear to be de-selected in the notes list (even though it still appeared in the editor).
If you drag a note to a different project such that it is removed from the current notes list, we now remove it from the editor as well.
Fixed issue where the notes editor could get stuck in a "No Previewâ€ state
Fixed an issue where sometimes the notes editor would appear blank (the note would still exist, it would just fail to display)
Fixed issue where the notes editor might randomly revert back to an earlier saved copy of the note (this wasn't a very common situation, but it could happen)
Fixed issue where changes to note properties might fail to save / sync changes if the note body was empty

New in Informant 0.98.50296 Milestone 9 Beta 1.6 (Apr 6, 2017)

New in Informant 0.98.50291 Milestone 9 Beta 1.5 (Mar 28, 2017)

Don't truncate the minutes when in 24hr mode
Fixed an issue where creating / editing Apple Reminders wouldn't reliably work in a specific scenario
Improvements to how Stacked View displays multi-day timed events and TravelAssist events
Stacked Week view might sometimes failed to load data (unless you swiped back and forth a few times).
For now, our in-app support feature will pop open a new email in your email client. We are working with Helpshift to resolve issues with their SDK that would give a "network error" when attempting to submit support requests directly within the app on macOS Sierra.
Fixed crash on Month view if you clicked on the "More" button and there was a note pinned to that date
Fixes to the Time Zone picker in the event editor
Minor UI and performance improvements
Several improvements to note navigation & editing:
We no longer immediately put the focus in the note body when you select a note - this allows you to use the arrow keys to move up/down in the notes list. You can hit "Tab" to get into the selected note.
We also fixed some situations where a note would randomly lose focus or situations where the note would appear to be de-selected in the notes list (even though it still appeared in the editor).

Fixed issue where changes to note properties might fail to save / sync changes if the note body was empty
Several fixes to how we manage the on-demand loading of Evernote note content:
This includes a situation where the current state of the note properties might be out of sync between Informant and Evernote
This also fixes situations where dragging an Evernote note to a project in a different sync account might not always move the note content
Also improved the error notification if you attempt to load an offline Evernote note while you are not connected to the Internet

New in Informant 0.98.50282 Beta 1 (Feb 11, 2017)

FIXES IN BETA:
Fixed regression where Quick Entry via hotkey did not properly infer "Today" if your event string did not include an explicit date.
Fixed regression where new items made in Quick Entry (via hotkey or menu bar) did not immediately show up within the main app. You would sometimes have to toggle views before the new item would show.

IMPROVEMENTS:

Informant Events now support Attendees. Apple Calendar events will show attendees which you can also act upon.
New animated checkboxes provide better visual feedback
Month View now supports the BACKGROUND and NONE color options
Reset the Trial from Release 6
Alarm Preferences - you can now set Alarm sound preferences
Major performance improvements in many places
New interface for SUBTASK/CHECKLIST creation by hovering over a task cell in Tasks View. The UI shows up on the right hand side of the cell:
We will add this functionality to Focus View in a future release.
Simply hover over a task in Tasks View and click on the new control. If its a plain task with no parent or child, it'll ask you if you want to create a subtask or checklist item. If it already has a type - it'll just create that type.
New animated checkboxes provide better visual feedback:
Checkbox now shows percentage complete
Added DRAG AND DROP in the following places:
Drag an event or task in Tasks, Week, Days, or Month View to the mini-month dates on the sidebar
Drag an event to a calendar on the sidebar
Drag and drop in Focus View is not yet enabled
Informant Today has the following improvements:
Right click on tasks to delete and other commands now properly work
Quick Entry is now focused when you bring up the Informant Today menu
You can now Filter the events by calendar
Weather
Weather:
We now have Weather preferences and weather in the Informant Today menu, Days, Focus View, Staggered Week, and Month views.
Google Calendar:
We identified a change in Google's logic that in some cases as of January 2016 would create a revolving neverending sync
CHANGES:
Official update for Release 7 - we took feedback from shipping Release 7 and made a handful of improvements:
Fixed a task grouper regression not paying attention to the task sorting ascending
Creating a new subtask from a main task no longer copies various properties - in M8 we will address it copying properties better
Fixed an issue with Infinite Scroll View causing a lack of re-centering between scroll views so that the header could get out of place
Fix for a regression on a bug-fix that would cause a new tab crash in specific situations
Fix for a regression on a bug-fix that would cause a Year View crash
Potential improvement to Days View header synchronization bug

New in Informant 0.98.50193 Beta 1 (Apr 5, 2016)

Improvements from Release 7:
Alarms for Apple Calendar/Reminders are now handled by Informant (there will be a setting to turn this off in the future)
Focus View now allows Drag and Drop to the mini month
Sidebar mini months now show you the currently visible date range in the current calendar view
Stacked Week View now offers many display options
Added separate FDOW settings between Days and Week view
CalendarView now allows you to store multiple locations for a single item. This is most immediately useful for timed events that span across 2 days but are showing as timed events rather than an all day bubble. This will be useful with a future change we plan to make month view, but it's useful right now since week view now experiences that specific situation.
Stacked Week view now shows location information for events
Several visual improvements to Stacked Week view to make it visually more consistent with other calendar views (no more shadows, days are edge-to-edge, thinner font for headers, etc)
Changed the "all day" style for Stacked week view to no longer use a bubble (when this style is used, multi day all day events are repeated on each day they occur)
Month View now uses "past event" styling for events on "today" if their end time is in the past
Added Rich Text Editing for Events/Tasks
Added the *beginnings* of our Notes View
Added the beginnings of Printing
Added support for HTTP Realm Authentication for Subscribed Calendars
Localization of Preferences
Changes in 0.98.50193:
New Drag and Drop images
Fixed crash when clicking on a non-date area of the mini month
Don't show contextual menu on mini month when used in sidebar or focus view
Fixed crash when right clicking on a group header in the tasks view
As part of this fixed, added a feature that will auto-select all tasks in a group when you right click on the header so that you can apply the action in the contextual menu to all items in that group
Fixed issue where in some cases the Days view wouldn't update the visible date range indicators on sidebar mini months
Fixed issue where opening an Inf Sync task, then hitting cancel with making no changes would still confirm if you wanted to discard your changes
Fixed an issue with deleting tasks from Days View
Improved the text spacing of All Day items in task view
Completion circle on tasks in Days view is now more consistently visible regardless of task bubble color
Fixed issue where sometimes when you created a repeating event on Days view, it wouldn't automatically expand enough to show all occurrences on visible days unless you forced the view to refresh
Fixed issue where the month/date was the wrong color in Stacked Week View if today's date was the 1st of the month
Updated our tab code
Fixed crash when attempting to drag a header in task view
Fixed crash when duplicating a project
Fixed crash when deleting the interval in the custom recurrence rule picker
Fixed crash when search string contained any regex pattern metacharacters (like parens, asterisk, etc)
Fixed crash sometimes when opening Manage Template window
Potential fix for crash 1324 - now testing to make sure our task view is loaded before replacing the task list
Fixed issue where changes to a tag color or icon wouldn't get reflected in other open tabs (similarly, this affects iOS in the much more limited case where a tag change was synced down without changes to any other calendar items)
Fixed Crash when checking MessageID. I believe I have this fixed. I'll check back in on Fabric once M8 is released to verify the crash didn't get re-opened.

Improvements:
More improvements to drag/drop in task View: it’s now possible to drag a subtask out from under its parent even when there is no white space in the task list and it’s easier to drag a task between sections (before, you had to drop on the task header itself...now we also re-target a drag to the section if you are between task cells).
The color picker popover is now easier to dismiss when it’s in the editor. We might decide this change makes it “too easy” to dismiss in other places (like account settings)…if so, we’ll expose the popover behavior property in the color well and set it in places that we care.
You can no longer hit the complete button on a task row that you are actively editing in the editor
Dragging a task to the “none” section will behave as expected (for instance, if grouping by content, dragging to the “none” context section will just clear the context). This should also work for iOS as well
You can now drag/drop tasks between sections when you are grouping your task list
You can no longer click into the location address field in the editor when it is hidden
Better handling of the past appointment style & calendar text color preference
Added Preference for Event Row color style (text, background, none). Event rows now respect this new preference.
Partially implemented the “Past Appointment” style preference (it was been hard coded to “faded”). The work on this isn’t completed for the italics option yet
When editing an event/task row, the text field no longer draws its background
Issue #878: Added option to do background colors on task cells (event cells coming soon)
Fixed:
Fixed formatting issue with the red today circle on month view in El Capitan
Fixed sizing of the title field in the editor when only the placeholder text is showing
Fixed issue where sometimes we’d allow dropping onto a section header that didn’t have a drop action
Fixed issue with drag/drop between sections when grouping by tags
Fixed issue with drag/drop between sections that involved managed objects (like contexts and projects). We would wind up with objects in separate MOCs
Fixed issue in tasks view that could prevent drag / drop from working as expected in sequential projects
Fixed issue with drag/drop getting into an unexpected state in sequential projects when the project was being grouped
“Past Appointment Style” preference is now properly respected in Focus View
Fixed issue (that affected iOS + OS X) where changing the Overdue task color wouldn’t ever update the view (you needed to fully quit/relaunch the app). There may be a performance cost to this solution if there are *a lot* of overdue tasks, but in real life I don’t think it will be a widespread problem.
