Users of the popular Day One journaling application are advised to pay great attention while considering the 1.9.1 update released on January 17 by Bloom Built LLC.

According to a memo included in the release notes, OS X Lion and Mountain Lion customers who are using an older version of Day One should refrain from updating, as version 1.9.1 will cripple the app.

The message, as displayed in the changlog on the Mac App Store, is reproduced below.

“IMPORTANT NOTE to Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8 users: Please do NOT upgrade to Day One 1.9.1. We have discovered some app crashes that are pending a vital patch in the next few days. Sorry for any inconvenience or concern this may have caused.”

For those of you running the software on OS X Mavericks, no issues should be encountered while upgrading. The full list of changes, including a range of new features, can be found below.

- Menu Bar entries now include location and weather - Star Toggle added to Day and Timeline View - Step count and motion activity icons displayed with entries - Drag Photos out of entries and have entry date as filename - Double-clicking dots in Maps view will zoom to that location - CMD + T keyboard shortcut for toggling tags on/off and CMD-L for toggling the location menu - Sorting menu in the Calendar view - Repair location button added to Map view list of entries - Spacebar to open photos in quick view - Blank entries collapsed in timeline view - Option to disable analytics - Show names for bodies of water if street address unavailable - Speed improvements

Remember, you should download Day One 1.9.1 only on a Mavericks computer (OS X 10.9) for now. Lion and Mountain Lion customers should stay put until Bloom Built releases the promised patch.
