Update Alfred to 2.0.3_187 #239
Conversation
Alfred is gonna be one of those Casks that puts pressure on #142 - I see we recently crossed 2.0, which is a paid upgrade for powerpack users. So there's a legitimate reason for folks to want to stay on 1.x. No problem with this update - looks good to merge. But once #142 is fixed we'll definitely want to support folks who want to stick with Alfred 1.x. |
I’m not sure we should. It’s only a paid upgrade if you’ve previously bought a non‐mega‐supporter license before December 31st 2012, in which case you can (could?) buy it at a discounted price anyway. I also spend a good amount of time on their forums, and so far I haven’t seen anything really relevant to people wanting downloads for v1. Granted, that does not mean there isn’t still a demand for it, but an important question is that if Alfred’s website no longer gives you a download link to v1, then why should homebrew‐cask? There are websites dedicated to hosting old versions of software, but that’s not how I see this project, I believe it should work akin to repositories on various Linux distros — always give the latest working version. I really think it should be a focused project, giving a simple, streamlined experience to the users, not try to cover every case, specially when this decreasing minority may bring some confusion to the other users. |
Good point @vitorgalvao - I guess I'm just biased because I haven't dropped the money for the upgrade yet. 😊 |
I think we should keep the latest apps in cask and move old versions to somewhere like cask-versions (just like homebrew-versions). The latest version may contains several channels (e.g. release, beta, alpha ...), but the cask-versions should only keep the past releases (no beta, no alpha). |
I can say I highly recommend it, @phinze. Workflows (new feature) are really powerful (way more than the previous script functionality), and are actually very fun to build (and share on the forums), it really makes Alfred a central piece of the daily workflow (they’re also aptly named). |
I’ll merge this, then. Either way, the current cask is already at 2.0, so bumping a minor version won’t make a difference to what we’re discussing. |
