What is new in this release:

- Added exact searches (surround your whole search query with quote marks to search for the exact phrase). Previous version introduced improved search by splitting quieries into words. Some users wanted the exact search back, so in this release we introduced it back: for example, to search for why me, but not for why not me, type "why me", including quotes.
- Fixed black sidebar background in Yosemite if "Reduce transparency" accessibility setting was on.

What is new in version 4.5:

- New look optimized for OS X 10.10 Yosemite. It's less cluttered and looks great in the new OS X, as well as in the previous versions of Apple's operating system. (Also, the app now has a new icon!)
- Improved search. The program now splits queries into words before searching, so it's now possible to find an entry containing "awesome vegan lunch" by looking for "awesome lunch", while previous versions required entering the exact phrase.
- Updates via HTTPS. While automatic updates were already secure by relying on digital signatures, in this version, in addition to signatures, we turned on Transport Layer Security for improved confidentiality.
- We fixed bugs, such as editor losing focus during saving, slow typing with a lot of text or images, and many other smaller issues.

What is new in version 4.0:

- Fresh new look. Memoires 4 comes with the improved and modernized user interface, which wastes less screen space and has better usability. Search field is now closer to search results; password field is integrated into the journal window.
- Improved security. Encrypted journals now use AES-256 encryption with a key derived from the supplied password using the state-of-the-art scrypt key derivation function, which makes bruteforcing passwords very difficult and costly. After encryption, journals are authenticated with the fast and secure keyed BLAKE2 hash function to prevent malicious modification of encrypted journals. Memoires 4 will automatically convert your journals to the new encryption scheme when you open them.
- Native autosave and versions. Memoires now uses the native OS X autosave and versions feature, which means that your journals are now automatically and constantly backed up by Time Machine, and you no longer need to save your journals explicitly.
- Native full screen. The new version comes with improved full screen support, which uses the native full screen feature of OS X. You no longer need to switch between a window and full screen modes to use the calendar or search for entries.
- Keyboard navigation. You can now navigate through the calendar with arrow keys on your keyboard. Pressing Return after editing entry title will let you switch to editing the entry content.
- Faster Spotlight indexing. We rewrote the Spotlight indexer and made it so fast that we removed the option to disable it: it will be used automatically for non-encrypted journals, as it no longer slows down the saving.
- Go To Date. Now when you want to go to a specific date, you no longer need to click on the arrows in calendar -- just click View > Go To Date... and enter the date to jump to.
- "Insert" menu. It is now easier to insert links, quick drawings, or images by using the new Insert menu.
- ...and lots of other small tweaks, improvements, and bug fixes.

Limitations:

10 entries per journal
