   Hazel 4.0.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Noodlesoft has released [1]Hazel 4.0, a major new release for the file
   cleanup utility that adds [2]several features to make it easier to
   create and maintain rules. The new version adds a live rule preview
   that enables you to select a file to see how the rule's conditions
   match that file while editing, the capability to sync rules to a
   specific file, Smart Folders that can be monitored and have rules
   applied to their contents, and the capability to search text in the
   name, notes, or any field of a rule. The update also moves notification
   options from the gear pulldown to the Info section, deactivates rules
   that are moved between folders (and enables you to re-activate them by
   clicking its checkbox at the new location), fixes a bug with rules
   using 'is among the...' that prevented them from running, and ensures
   text replacements now work on numeric attributes.

   The day after its debut, Noodlesoft released version 4.0.1 with a
   couple of bug fixes. Hazel has upped its system requirements to OS X
   10.10 Yosemite, and it now costs $32 for a single license ($49 for a
   family pack for up to five members of a household). For those who
   previously purchased a license to any version of Hazel, you can upgrade
   for $10. ($32 new, free update, 7.6 MB, [3]release notes, 10.10+)
