OmniFocus 4.7.1

The Omni Group has released OmniFocus 4.7 with a new Planned Date type, the capability to create mutually exclusive tags, and improved repeat functionality. Items can now be assigned a Planned Date (the date an action, action group, or project is scheduled for work), several new repeat behaviors can now be configured in the updated Repeat Inspector (including Repeat Limits, Automatic Catch Up, and Repeat Schedules), and mutually exclusive tags can be used in a variety of workflows (such as priority and energy level assignment). These new features require a new database format. An updated database migration assistant will prompt you to migrate your database after all syncing copies of OmniFocus have updated to 4.7.

The task management app also updates Forecast to summarize relevant items better and improve date assignment, adjusts notifications to default to Time Sensitive alert behavior, improves the consistency of Copy as Link behavior across platforms, no longer applies notifications to future instances of repeating actions and projects, standardizes user interface wording and capitalization for consistency across platforms, and ensures the Writing Tools cursor isn’t displayed for project, tag, and date fields in the Inspector.

Version 4.7.1 was issued to include Planned Dates when printing, improve localized date formatting and parsing in some repetition date fields, and fix a crash that could occur when laying out summary task dots in Forecast.
