   fixes for OS X 10.11 El Capitan. The update to the text expansion app
   resolves expansion failures in file name popovers and file save dialogs
   of sandboxed apps. It also no longer stores invalid passwords to
   URL-based groups on Keychain, updates localization for Inline Search,
   and updates DevMateKit to version 1.2. ($44.95 new with a 20 percent
   discount for [2]TidBITS members, free update for version 5.0 licenses,

   Alfred 2.7.2 -- Running with Crayons has released [5]Alfred 2.7.2 with
   enhanced focusing behavior, which should improve how clipboard history
   paste works with a multi-screen setup, among other things. The
   keyboard-driven launcher also enables you to add and edit UTIs in the
   Features > Default Results > Advanced preferences, improves logic for
   auto-discovery of 1Password bookmarks, fixes a crash that occurred when
   using Alfred's hotkey to hide Alfred when Quick Look is showing,
   removes irrelevant items from the iTunes Mini Player, and provides a
   better result order for Spell and Define. (Free, £17 for [6]Powerpack,
   3.7 MB, [7]release notes, 10.6+)

   Carbon Copy Cloner 4.1.4 -- Bombich Software has released [9]Carbon
   Copy Cloner 4.1.4 (CCC) with support for OS X 10.11 El Capitan. The
   backup utility also now accommodates SMTP usernames that contain
   special characters, no longer re-launches the user agent after changing
   the preference that shows the CCC icon in the menu bar, fixes a bug
   that occasionally caused CCC to get stuck on unreadable files,
   addresses a time zone adjustment issue for cases where a task was
   created in one time zone but scheduled in another time zone, and adds
   custom VoiceOver descriptions for the task status images in the Task
   History window. ($39.99 new, 12.0 MB, [10]release notes, 10.8+)
