1.1.1 In development
New Features
Advanced option for the default file search to add any file types you like. Still recommend using the 'open' and 'find' keywords (or prefix a search with [spacebar] to enter file search mode) Code sign Alfred in preparation for future versions of OS X When using 'email' keyword, option to choose to open Contact View if there is more than one email address, otherwise email the primary address
Improvements
Ability to switch first name and last name in contact viewer for better localisation More exact matching for 'Text Files' in the default results, matching plain text and rtf. This now correctly excludes irrelevant text based items such as .ics Match the 'Open With / Copy To / Move To' search scope to the File Search scope for better predictability Add XCode's new Applications location to the default file search

Improvements
Wildcarding in the clipboard history view with * for more flexible searching through history Non anchored Name search for snippets in the clipboard viewer (for more 'interesting' matching) The iTunes Mute keyword now mutes iTunes instead of setting volume to 0. This allows toggling of mute by typing mute again. Automatically un-mutes on playing from mini player. Turn off iTunes Mini Player DJ mode when selecting a random album to prevent confusion Workflow extension parameters now have the option to be Required / Optional / None, allowing for keyword to be linked directly to workflow with no extension De-duplicate URLS which are in history and are typed as new so you don't see URLs twice (once typed and once from history) Place cursor position to the right of the path when using a global hotkey to open a file path in Alfred's file system navigation Improved URL matching for localhost and sites which use ports (e.g. localhost:8888) Ignore certain schemes from URL recognition e.g. site: kind: as these work better on fallback / finder based searches Improve some of the help subtext throughout the preferences for clarity Remove all spaces from query for maths calculation as they are unnecessary. Also allows for space delimiting on large numbers for clarity Remove legacy code from Alfred, doing a nice big tidy up on the way for improved efficiency Add a gap in the Features > Default Result prefs between Essential and Extras Improved contact card notes field (no longer truncates to the right for multiple lines) Improvements to iTerm2 focusing after 'open terminal here' and terminal commands More useful message on invalid licenses Allow for valid spaces in URL recognition Add the additional items which are now synced to the help text in the syncing prefs
