   Alfred 2.0.3

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Back in mid-March, Running with Crayons released [1]Alfred 2.0, a major
   update to their keyboard-driven launcher that was massively overhauled
   to be faster and more efficient. While the app is free and offers the
   same basic functionality as version 1.x, purchasing the
   feature-enhanced [2]Alfred Powerpack provides access to the most
   exciting new feature of Alfred 2.0 ' the capability to create (and
   import) workflows that can connect keywords, hotkeys and actions. Other
   additions to Alfred 2.0 include improved access to Contacts and more
   flexible theme create available in the Powerpack (a limited starter set
   is included in the free version).

   Last month, Running with Crayons released the Alfred 2.0.3 maintenance
   update with a lengthy list of changes (40 in total), and highlights
   include: user set hotkeys and keywords are migrated when a workflow is
   updated; saved workflow sort positioning is more predictable upon
   initial no-knowledge ordering; positioning of Web searches and
   workflows are rank higher in default results; and when you copy a
   contact using Command-C, the name is now copied instead of the contact
   ID. (Free, £15 for Powerpack, 2.8 MB, [3]release notes)
