Feel free to test and report issues with this one on my GitHub page !
What was fixed (since 3838ab) :
- Some memory leaks, bug fixes.
- More deprecated stuff left to die ;-).
- Trigger display in the Triggers pref pane.
- Action localization should be a little more consistent (see http://wiki.github.com/tiennou/blacktree-alchemy/localization-and-mak... if you want to help).
- German and French localization have been updated.

Wow. Am I wrong in thinking this is the first non-"a" (I'm assuming
that means alpha) build of QS since Alcor released it into the wild
and went off to work for Google?
This build seems solid and stable and fast and Snow Leopard
compatible.
My thanks to all the developers who have seemingly saved Quicksilver
from oblivion.
After a long period where it seemed like QS was petering out, the last
month or two things have really seemed to pick up some steam.
Yep - I'd like to second you on this, elspub, on all counts. A really big thank you to all involved for your time and efforts. Hey, André - I hope you're not sleeping too much, man?!!?

I'd love to send some money to these fine fellows as well. I know the
original developers repeatedly rejected offers for money, but it
really is something worth paying for. The fact that it's open source
now makes it even more worthwhile.
Thanks for the amazing job.
just curious if there's any plan to bring back the modifier-only(e.g.
double cmd) activation? just an ask, never thought to push anything.

There is a plan, but it requires some work. I'm aware Visor and Google Search Box both have this functionality working right now, so its just a matter of time.
A feature request I have in mind is extending the current approach to become Trigger-compatible (as in, being able to set arbitrary triggers with single or double tap modifiers).
if i just moved my existing b56 from the applications folder instead
of overwriting with b57 would i be able to roll back easily? i am just
playing it safe in case b57 doesn't work.
also do we need to trash any prefs for the upgrade?
thanks.

You should archive your old version (Right-click > Compress (or Archive) in /Applications
Then move aside
/Users/[yourusername]/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver
and /Users/[yourusername]/Library/Preferences/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist
Then delete
/Users/[yourusername]/Library/Caches/Quicksilver
This will effectively make it like you've just installed it, and you can always restore to ß56 by putting back your old folders.

Another approach: I created a 512 MB sparse bundle (using Disk Utility) to keep various versions of Quicksilver, preferences, Application Support, etc. backed up. It’s unmounted most of the time, which keeps them hidden from Launch Services, but it’s much easier to deal with when I want to add things to it or pull things out.
It's not that I think guns, drugs, prostitution, swimming, eating and reading should be legal. It's just that no one on Earth has the authority to make them illegal.
Feels snappier indeed, but now when I trigger the assigned hot key for
a shell script it opens the quicksilver window like waiting for my
approval. (If I press enter it executes the script instantly) How can
I avoid that window? In B54 it used to run the shell script
automaticly without any prior window.

I backed up my settings before updating, but kept them in place to see
if they'd work. And they do. I've had no issues. I'd recommend back up
your settings (including a .zip of your existing Quicksilver.app), but
keep them. Worst case scenario you upgrade, find it buggy and then
delete all your older settings. QS will create a fresh application
support folder/preferences file, if there isn't one and it will be as
good as new.

you know it just hit me that i have all the old files in my time
machine backups so i can always roll back easily. i think i will still
back up those prefs though.
