   Alfred 3.0.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Running with Crayons has issued [1]Alfred 3.0, a major new release for
   the keyboard-driven launcher with a number of new features and
   under-the-hood improvements. You can download and run Alfred for free
   with basic functionality, but purchasing the feature-enhanced [2]Alfred
   Powerpack provides access to several of the additions and improvements
   in version 3, including improved workflow flexibility and object
   layout, enhanced Clipboard History with the capability to copy images,
   file lists, and hex colors, and the addition of snippet auto-expansion
   (see this [3]announcement blog post for additional details). Alfred
   also moves to requiring OS X 10.9 Mavericks to take advantage of newer
   OS X technologies, overhauls Alfred's theme editor, and improves file
   navigation.

   Shortly after its release, version 3.0.1 was issued, with the
   maintenance update improving the reliability of automatic snippet
   expansion (including allowing spaces in snippet keywords), fixes a bug
   with AppleScript files running twice when finding them for running in
   file search mode, improves reliability of initial migration, fixes
   iTunes indexing progress display when the track name is nil, and fixes
   the Clear History button in Clipboard preferences. If you purchased a
   Powerpack license in 2016, you will receive a free upgrade to Alfred 3.
   For licenses purchased prior to 2016, you can turn your single user
   license into a Mega Supporter license (which provides free lifetime
   upgrades) for £15 (the difference between the £17 single user license
   and the £32 Mega Supporter license). (Free, £17 for Powerpack, 2.8
   MB, [4]release notes, 10.9+)
