Daylite for iOS 2021.39

Daylite for macOS 2021.28

Improvements

• You can now step through the Week and Month calendars by a smaller duration (by day in the Week view and by week in the Month view) by holding the Option key while using the View > Calendar > Next/Previous menu items. For the Month view this only works if your Calendar Preference setting is set to "Show week and month: looking forward from today".

• Using a plug-in with Daylite now requires user approval. When installing a plugin, a prompt will be shown for the user to give it access to Daylite.

Fixes

• Daylite on macOS Big Sur will now correctly prompt to Save changes when closing a Letter Template that has unsaved changes.

• Fixed an issue where clicking "Show in Daylite" opened a new window to show the item instead of using the existing window.

• Done Tasks now respect the "Remove Done Tasks Daily" preference and will clear automatically on the next day.

• Fixed an issue where Emails in Daylite would sometimes display buttons off the screen if there were several addresses in the To or Cc fields.

• Fixed an issue that caused the default width of the detail pane in the detail/activity split view to be too narrow.

• Fixed a crash that could sometimes occur when adding/removing contacts from Groups.

It is not unusual in many workplaces to have multiple Macs, iPhones and iPad, each running different versions of Apple's operating systems. While it is best to keep all devices up to the latest version, this isn't always possible.

Below is a quick guide to help you understand what versions of macOS and iOS Daylite can be safely run on.

Daylite & Daylite Mail Assistant

Daylite on the iPhone & iPad

Support for version 2020.36.3 has ended.

The choice to have Daylite be a native app has its advantages. Better performance, offline access and integration with Apple Systems. However, as with every choice, there are trade-offs.

In the past, our policy has been to support the three most current OS. On the surface, this policy made sense. Many businesses could continue to use Daylite after a macOS update, but this policy has sometimes done more harm than good. Each year Apple adds new capabilities to help you do more. To achieve this, they remove the old code while adding new, better technology without looking back. Supporting Daylite on older operating systems has added bloat, made Daylite complex to support and slow to develop. Maintaining old code creates new bugs, and keeps us from being able to add new features to Daylite fast enough, the features you’ve asked to be added. 

This year, with the introduction of macOS 11 (Big Sur) and its many new capabilities, we had an important decision to make. 

We want to provide you with a first-class app in macOS 11 but, we found that supporting macOS 10.14, 10.15, and 11.0 would create more of the same problems. The data shows that the current number of customers using macOS 10.14 is below 20%, and that number will only continue to decrease after Big Sur is released. 

With all this in mind, giving you the best experience, modern features, fewer bugs, and faster development, we’ve decided to drop macOS 10.14. Support for Daylite version 2020.36.3 has ended. Customers that are running Daylite on macOS 10.14 should look to upgrade to macOS 10.15.7 or macOS 11.
