OmniFocus updated

OmniFocus was updated yesterday bringing some great new features to the application. Some of the changes that were made to OmniFocus are listed below.

OmniFocus for iPad 1.6 includes support for iOS 6, adds TextExpander touch support, Reminders Capture for Siri capable devices running iOS, and various other improvements and bug fixes.
OmniFocus for iPad requires iOS 5.1 or later.

TextExpander touch Support

• OmniFocus now includes support for TextExpander touch. TextExpander snippets will be expanded in most text fields, in notes, and in search.

Maps & Location

• Location Reminders in OmniFocus exclusively uses geofencing whenever possible. (In the uncommon case where you’ve exceeded the device’s maximum number of monitored regions, OmniFocus will fall back to using significant location changes as a supplemental mechanism.)
• Fixed a bug where requesting directions to a context’s location in Maps mode didn’t correctly open the directions in the Maps app on iOS 6.
• Fixed a crash which occurred when switching between the Map and List views in Maps mode on iOS 6.
• Fixed a regression where a business search with no results failed to display the no results found indicator.
• This release restores business search.

Privacy on iOS 6

• OmniFocus requires permission to access your Reminders to use the Reminders Capture feature.
• OmniFocus requires permission to access your Calendar to use the Calendar Events feature of Forecast mode.
• OmniFocus requires permission to access your Contacts in order to assign a contact address as a Context’s location.
