All Versions of Personal Diary (Journal) App
3.0.11
May 10, 2024
- Fixed: The image viewer may not work correctly for HEIC images on some systems.
- Fixed: The image viewer now has dedicated buttons to export images. This was incorrectly removed.
- Fixed: The export function no longer randomly resets the date range to export after explicitly set when entries are being updated in the background.
- Improved: The image viewer now supports keyboard navigation.
- Misc: Updated dependencies.
More3.0.10
December 11, 2023
- Fixed: Hyperlinks and Strikethroughs did not save until other unrelated modifications have been done to trigger autosave.
- Fixed: Importing photos taken directly from the Camera within the app did not do anything.
- Fixed: Some users may have had troubles installing the app on the Apple Watch.
- Fixed: Images may be stuck "loading" - they are caused by previously deleted images of which the app still thinks exists and is trying to load.
- Fixed: Dragging and dropping images to export images out of the app, or copy images to multiple entries, may cause the app to incorrectly use low resolution thumbnails of the image.
- Fixed: Images may flicker upon selection of an entry, upon autosave, or upon scrolling through lists or pages with images.
- Fixed: Smart Search did not correctly account for search terms consisting of the day of the week (so searching for "Saturday" did not work).
- Improved: Added more hints of Safe Mode and direct shortcuts to exit it.
- Improved: Disabling image previews will now show a placeholder image instead of a blank space.
More3.0.9
June 15, 2023
- Fixed: Storage Location preference settings may not update correctly after a background iCloud login update. This may have caused unexpected confusion as to why storage locations randomly switched.
- Fixed: Journal Picker headers may not appear correctly on macOS.
- Improved: Information about storage location differences of a journal are now clearer. The app also now prompts to automatically change settings for you if you want to access journals in a different location without migrating.
- Improved: There are now double-confirmations for journal storage location migrations to prevent accidental migrations.
More3.0.8
June 9, 2023
- Fixed: On recent versions of iOS, iPadOS and macOS and Personal Diary, there is a chance where you would frequently get scary iCloud access denied errors. This is because the system temporarily removed access to iCloud for whatever reason. It has now changed to a "waiting for iCloud access" indicator, which automatically dismisses once iCloud is ready.
- Fixed: Some miscellaneous crashes that do not appear to have any reason should be resolved.
- Fixed: Depending on luck, you may occasionally find a warning of an "unavailable" entry, which does not acutally exist.
- Improved: Entries which have data load issues are now ordered beyond the latest entries in the list.
- Improved: When you are in the Timeline and you have written data in iCloud in the past, but no data is downloaded (making the Timeline appear blank), and system configuration permits, the app will more aggressively poll for iCloud updates and refresh the Timeline in order to retrieve your data.
More3.0.7
May 1, 2023
- Fixed: On recent versions of iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and macOS 13 (Ventura), the app may incorrectly assume all your diary data is downloaded from iCloud, and attempt to load them before the download is complete, causing extremely slow loading times in the Timeline.
- Fixed: Some links in the app (like FAQ) were moved, and are thus updated.
- Improved: The Data Availability section in Storage Location & Usage now shows an estimated percentage of data downloaded locally.
- Misc: Removed legacy code and updated dependencies.
More3.0.6
February 26, 2023
- Fixed: Page Curl Animations added tap-to-flip-page tap targets that conflict with button taps on images and text, making it impossible to edit text or add a new image in some situations. This is now removed.
- Fixed: Strikethrough option was missing in recent versions of the app.
- Fixed: Strikethrough and Hyperlink keyboard shortcuts were missing in recent versions of the app.
- Fixed: PDF and Printing Export Cover Page might not be removed even if you turn it off.
- Improved: For PDF and Printing exports, they might crash when merging large numbers of pages due to running out of memory. This is mitigated through transferring partial exported contents onto storage and improved memory management.
- Improved: For PDF and Printing exports, you can now specify the starting page number, so you may merge PDF parts from the past outside of the app and do not need to reexport everything to get the page numbers right.
Known Issues:
- PDF Export may not work correctly if you have too many images. You will now be served a warning if you hit memory limits.
More3.0.5
December 31, 2022
- Fixed: Mood and Weather cannot be removed if already set.
- Fixed: Biometrics Unlock may be displayed even when it is not supported or enabled on your device.
- Fixed: In some cases you might be able to "import" inline images into the text editor. Though it looks like it worked, the action isn't supported and it is not saved. The text editor will now correctly reflect this and not show inline images.
- Improved: Closing the Journal Picker (available when Multi-Journal Mode is on) will now lock the app as well (if a passcode is set).
- Improved: Entry data now internally tracks a version number, so future version incompatibilities can be marked with an appropriate warning.
- Attempted to Fix: Personal Diary might crash on older versions of macOS.
More3.0.4
December 22, 2022
- Fixed: Notifications stop working after 2 weeks in the newer versions, claiming that you have never opened the app even if you did.
- Fixed: 'Something went wrong' alerts may appear on app launch even when nothing is wrong.
Known Issues (go to in-app section to read details):
- Page Curl Animations may conflict with the image attachment buttons and Focused Editing Mode.
- PDF Export may not work correctly if you have too many images.
More3.0.3
December 11, 2022
- Fixed: Searching with multiple words may not work in certain languages.
- Fixed: Search terms with only the month and year now correctly shows results (again).
- Fixed: Delete button was missing in the image attachment panel.
- Fixed: Image thumbnails may appear in the wrong orientation in previews on iOS 14 and below.
- Fixed: A transition animation may unexpectedly occur which "transitions" to the same entry.
- Improved: Added a section to perform basic customizations for VoiceOver prompts.
- Improved: Date Format options for the Timeline view has been rephrased for clarity.
More3.0.2
December 8, 2022
- Fixed: Search terms with only the month and year now correctly shows results.
- Fixed: Searching contents were incorrectly case sensitive. That is fixed and are now no longer case sensitive.
- Fixed: Tags now show up correctly in PDF exports.
- Fixed: Editing an entry while entries are refreshing may cause edits to be undone and reverted.
- Fixed: A rare crash that may occur when the number of entries loaded changes while the UI is being updated.
- Fixed: When mood and weather are turned off for new entries, auto mood detection should not have kicked in automatically.
- Fixed: Raw Data Archive now outputs folder names with the corresponding timezone the entry is written in.
- Improved: The timezone indicators for entries with timezones different than your current one can now either be hidden or ignored.
- Improved: Clarified in-app explanation for legacy iOS version warnings.
