New in Quay 1.1 (May 9, 2008)

  • The Dock's selected icon name display is now suppressed correctly in all cases. I think.

  • Quay menus will no longer pop up while Dashboard or Expos� are active.
  • The popup menu for running applications should now work correctly for all applications.
  • The popup menu for running applications also shows if the application is in 64-bit mode, running under Rosetta or a debugger. This was already in 1.1b3 but not documented.
  • Under some conditions, Quay could fail to pass mouse-up events to other applications, which could cause strange behavior with text selection (Xcode was one example).
  • You can now click again to cancel while a large menu being built.
  • Closing a menu by clicking again is now more reliable.
  • Aliases/simlinks that form a loop no longer will hang the background application.

  • Quay could freeze the Dock for several seconds if a server volume had just dropped off the network.
  • The URL displayed when option-command-clicking on URL Dock items is now correct.

  • The main Quay application now has an "Enable Quay menus" checkbox, and its Dock icon now has a badge to show if the background application is running.
  • Quay is now installed into /Library/Application Support, meaning it's available to all users of your Mac. Registration is still per-user, although you're free to use the same serial for all users.
  • Quay now works correctly with FileVault.
  • The main menu item count is now accurate; subfolder item counts are still estimates, however, and the menu header now shows a '~' to indicate that.

  • The Installer now runs the installed Quay application after finishing, and unmounts the Quay disk image.
