I would add the ability to maintain multiple tabs as being a major step
forward for me.      To illustrate my current set up:

.         Tab 1:   Outline showing all tasks except those completed more
than 3 days ago (like MLO V3)

.         Tab2:    Main To Do view - like V3 - this is where I mainly work;
I also have a helper window open on this window from which I drag tasks that
appear at the end of my ToDo list (which is manually sorted) to their
'correct position' in the To Do list.  Synched to Tab 1  (remaining tabs are
not synched)

.         Tab 3:  Inbox - so that I can monitor tasks that I have added to
my Inbox

.         Tab 4:  Outline (Adhoc):   so that I can navigate to different
parts of my Outline without losing my place in the main To Do view;   I
sometime switch the view in this tab to show my ToDo view so that I can see
where a particular task appears

.         Tab 5 onward:    focus areas:    I use a combination of Zoom and
Context filtering within each tab to select a particular set of tasks
relating to a project or other area of work that I am currently working on;
so I have tabs such as Xmas,  Planning/Sales;    Tidy office/Catch up;
Accounts.   So when something happens in relation to one of the areas that
are current for me (eg I get an email,  or something comes into my mind) I
can switch to the relevant tab to  a) see what I have planned;  and b)
add/update tasks as appropriate

 

I find this set up makes MLO much easier to use (where I am often working on
several different areas at the same time).

Big plusses for me are:

-drag and drop from one view to another

-ability to switch between views without losing my place

-filtered outline views

Seems to me that the big changes are as follows:-

- auto-sync to cloud

- new format (shifting Zoom feature to tabs, and shifting saved to-do views
into the side menu)

 

but are there any major functional improements in this version?

 

I remember the bigs functional leaps of the past, eg, the introduction of
the to-do filter rules, the automatic formating feature, the introduction of
colour coding, the task depency feature,  introduction of folders.. there
doesn't seem to be any major functional improvements to this version.. still
think its probably worth upgrading for these improvements.. but am I missing
something here?

 

The reviewing feature looks to be new but I'm not sure what it does..

 

I was actually hoping for some other features to be included in this
version, in particular, the ability to have start/due dates dependent on
completion dates for other tasks (which has been mentioned a number of times
in this forum), which would help the creation of project templates... the
calendar, of course, which I understad is still being worked on.. but new
versions in the past, if my memory serves me correctly, have tended to offer
some major functional new ideas/improvements...
