OmniGraffle 3.14 improves reliability when OmniGraffle documents are synced with third party providers. This release introduces a new file type that avoids compatibility issues with certain sync platforms, such as Dropbox, while maintaining great performance.

• File Formats: A new default single file format has been added. This is a zipped version of the pre-existing file package format which has significant performance advantages over the old single file format that encoded images as XML data. This combines most of the benefits of the pre-existing formats in a way that is compatible with file syncing services like Dropbox. Versions prior to OmniGraffle for iOS 3.14 and OmniGraffle for Mac 7.16 will not be able to read this format.
• All new documents will be created in the new format regardless of what the template uses.
• A legacy format export option has been added.

• Reference Manual: The localized reference manuals have been updated for changes prior to this release.
• Visio Import (PRO): Fixed a couple importing bugs that prevented some files from importing.
• SVG Import: Fixed a bug importing lines that have zero dimension.

OmniGraffle 3.13 is focused on improving compatibility with Visio.

• Visio Export: Added support for top/bottom text margins.
• Visio Export: PANOSE data is exported when available. This helps decide what font is used for substiution when necessary.
• Visio Import: Added RelQuadBezTo support for .vssx files which improves Visio stencil compatibility.
• Visio Import: Fixed cases of text objects not being created large enough to fit the text.
• Visio Import: Documents previously triggering the Incorrect Block error are able to be imported.
• Visio Import: Unexpected characters in unsupported attributes were causing some files to fail to import. Those attributes are now ignored.
• Visio Import: Fixed a bug causing some EMF images in vsdx files to have components flying off into space.
• Visio Import: When a Visio file type is associated with an UTI OmniGraffle doesn't expect, check the file extension instead to determine if the file can be imported. This should fix compatibility problems when other applications are installed that use Visio file types.
• Visio Import: Text placed inside groups is imported.
• Visio Import: Fixed a crash when importing .vss files containing EMF images.
• Visio Export: Fixed multiple bugs with exporting images. Images are now exported to PNG format unless already in BMP, WMF, or EMF. This results in significantly smaller file sizes than previously.
• Visio Export: Corrected export of text alignment and offsets values.
• Visio Export: Override Visio's auto-routing in the exported file so that lines retain their path set in OmniGraffle. This will cause some files to appear with connection lines on top of objects. Adjusting any object should fix that.
• Visio Export: Objects are positioned on the canvas when the canvas is using a non-zero origin in OmniGraffle.
• Visio Export: Line labels are exported as line labels instead of separate text objects.
• Text: When typing immediately after editing on a label begins, the text has the correct style and insertion point.
• Text: Text set to be bottom or top aligned are positioned correctly when the shape is rotated.
• Gestures: It is possible to initiate a zoom gesture when your two fingers do not touch the screen as the same time and one is over an object.
• Images: When editing the mask of a scaled image, the image's position will stay static.
• Linked Resource Folders: Changes to the contents of linked folders are picked up immediately and files needing to be downloaded can be selected.

We've heard your feedback about how difficult it can be to reposition objects on the canvas so we've made the following changes:
• The delay before the selected object begins to lift up to show the context menu has been increased. This gives you more time to initiate different actions such as dragging.
• Unselected objects will instantly respond to gestures so you can immediately drag objects. If you need to pan the canvas but objects are in the way, a 2-finger drag can be used.
• iOS drag and drop has been disabled on the canvas. You can still drag objects from the Canvases list to other apps.
We will be looking at other additional improvements in future releases.

• Stability: Fixed a crash most commonly encountered after using the Share option that results in a different app being activated automatically.
• Stability: Using any of the Share options that result in an image, such as Copy as Image and Copy Document, keeps the current document open.
• Share: Send to Photos only creates one image.

• Document Browser — OmniGraffle now uses Apple’s built-in document browser for file management. With Apple’s file browser, you can sync your documents using iCloud Drive or a third-party sync solution that fully supports OmniGraffle files, or you can continue to sync your documents via OmniPresence.
• OmniPresence — Downloaded files synced via OmniPresence are now stored locally in a subfolder of the OmniPlan folder on your device. By default, OmniPresence does not download larger synced files automatically; tap the OmniPresence icon in the file browser toolbar to open the download manager and choose files to download.
• Syncing Templates and Stencils — Stencils and Templates stored in the OmniGraffle folder in iCloud Drive (if you have iCloud Drive enabled) will automatically appear in the Template picker when creating a new document and in the Stencil browser when editing a document.
• Context Menus — Quickly perform common actions via context menus, accessed via 3D Touch or the touch and hold gesture.
• Dark Mode — When your iOS device’s Appearance is set to Dark, OmniGraffle’s interface will now automatically switch to Dark Mode.
• Multitasking — Work with two OmniGraffle documents simultaneously in Split View, or open several documents in multiple spaces on iPadOS.
• Thumbnail Previews — Preview images are generated and saved as part of the file when a document is edited. Existing files will not display a preview in the file browser until they are edited.
• Alignment — Added a new preference to control the alignment behavior. You can now toggle between Align to First-selected Object and Align to Selection.
• Omni Automation — We’ve made a number of improvements to Omni Automation, including support for input dialogs and file output. For more details, see the Omni Automation Release Notes (which can be found in the API Reference documentation).
• Gestures — Added support for the new 3-finger system gestures for Undo, Redo, Copy, and Paste – 3-finger tap to see the new options! Gestures now respond faster to touch input and less utilized gestures have been removed.

Version 3.10.1:

• Localizations — Localized the various UI changes that were made in version 3.10.
• Labels on Small Objects — Fixed a bug that caused label text to not appear on objects with text margins larger then the object itself.
• Label Width — Fixed a bug that caused the width of labels with certain settings to not adjust while typing.

Version 3.10:

• Fill Shape with Text — Added a new Fill Shape with Text option to the Text Position inspector that fills the inner bounds of a shape with the label text. This makes it much easier to keep text within a diamond shape in a flowchart or as a creative background on a Bézier shape.
• Text Flow — Added a new Text Flow option to the Text Position inspector that wraps the object’s label around the perimeter of the object.
• Text Rotation Controls — Added relative and absolute text rotation controls to the Text Postion inspector.
• Object Alignment — Object alignment is now performed based on object positions on the canvas, not z-order. Align to top means OmniGraffle aligns the selected objects with the top of the top-most object. Align to bottom means OmniGraffle aligns the selected objects with the bottom of the bottom-most object.
• Canvas Preview — Fixed a bug where the preview thumbnail for a canvas sometimes wouldn’t update when objects were added to the canvas via drag and drop or copy and paste.
• Text Copy and Paste — Fixed a bug that caused font family data to be lost when copy and pasting text between objects.
• Selection — Fixed the multi-touch gesture for adding items to an existing selection (touch and hold on the first object, and then single tap the other objects you would like to select).
