Development / Change Log

The current Mac App Store release is 1.2, Alfred 2.0.3 is the current v2 release.

Please note that the Change Log covers all changes including Powerpack-only features.
To enjoy all that Alfred has to offer, be sure to buy a Powerpack :)

• Give Alfred's Auto Updater its own tab with change log
• Migrate user set hotkeys and keywords when updating a workflow
• Make no results from a script filter correctly fall back to fallbacks
• Make the script filter item uid attribute optional, and generate a UUID for these instead. This prevents Alfred from learning the returned result order so will respect the XML returned order
• Sort saved workflow [input] objects based on y position for more predictable initial no-knowledge ordering
• Add hidden knowledge for placeholder items - Allows for web searches / workflows to be ranked higher in the default results
• better logic on alternative modifiers, allows default mod actions on invalid results

• Fix spelling mistake 'searchces' when deleting a custom search
• add option to escape backslashes in {query} for scripting
• default backslash escaping for script workflow templates and examples
• When using cmd+c on a contact in Alfred's results, copy the name rather than the contact id

• fix issue with typed word not showing with define keyword in certain scenarios
• Add and improve timer logging for better performance profiling
• Change resizing mode on snippets table in prefs to make more useful
• If cmd+down on file, navigate into the containing folder
• Show reason sheet why non-PP users can't import themes or workflows rather than just not doing anything
• more efficient eject workflow which only loads the volumes if it needs to
• Don't grey out advanced 'sync' button for non-Powerpack users, instead, explain Powerpack is needed
• Rename 'Update" to "Save" in the workflows detail editor to prevent confusion
• If a person is marked as a company, then prefix with the company in Alfred's results
• Add in support for Mailplane 3 email attachments
• Trim large type text to ensure there are no hanging characters before displaying
• More clear 'grey out' behaviour for alt connection sheet when selecting 'none' as the connection modifier

• Add type to filter documents in the recent documents action
• Fix some text in the v1 import sheet
• Switch out some unused NSLogs
• add resilience against certain Address Book scenarios
• Move application file cache database into app support folder to prevent auto cache cleaner apps from breaking or slowing Alfred
• Fix issue where joining comments and keywords in the app cache caused a selector not found when assuming an id was an array
• More robust default browser selection when populating browser info into workflow object config browser selection
• Fix time modifiers for snippets e.g. {time:short}
• Code review and remove the unused update controllers from the general prefs
• Fix spelling mistake in Google Suggest workflow example

2.0.2 23rd Mar 2013

• Improved app discovery and caching allowing for apps such as iPhone Simulator to be found if folder added to search scope

• iTunes keywords now available in Alfred's default results, if enabled in Alfred's iTunes > Keywords preferences
• Flatten app cache search string for more reliable internationalised app searching such as Russian

• Add error reporting to Alfred's preferences when a preference can't be saved for better user feedback
• Only enable the clipboard merge preferences if Alfred's clipboard history is enabled to prevent confusion
• Make {query} work in the script filter placeholder fields as they do in keyword / custom search fields for consistency
• Add selected theme to the 'not synced' info text in advanced prefs (allows for different theme per Mac)
• Search by phonetic names in the contacts searcher for better internationalised support
• Don't show the 'no update data available' warning on a background auto-update check
• Clean up unnecessary data in the app support folder when it is no longer needed
• Remove lightening bolt text from iTunes prefs as this is no longer in v2
• Clean up previous main results when switching from a typed query to a ' query in a single shot

• enter auto complete on snip keyword (missing internal UID). e.g. type sn, press return on placeholder, filter snippet
