   TidBITS Watchlist: Notable Software Updates for 18 November 2013

   TidBITS Staff

   Mellel 3.2.7 -- Smoothing out the rough spots, RedleX has released
   [1]Mellel 3.2.7 with several fixes to improve stability and
   performance. The word processor gets a fix for a crash that occurred
   with the Spotlight plug-in when trying to index template files, adds
   support for small caps in formatted citations and bibliographies, fixes
   a problem with non-functioning smart quotes in OS X 10.9 Mavericks
   using the Hebrew keyboard layout, avoids a crash when Mellel scanned
   documents containing empty citations, and fixes a problem with Bookends
   12.0.6 that prevented live bibliographies from functioning correctly.
   As of this writing, the [2]Mac App Store version remains at version
   3.2.6. ($39 new from RedleX and the Mac App Store, free update, 97.7
   MB, [3]release notes)

   Keyboard Maestro 6.3 -- Stairways Software has released [5]Keyboard
   Maestro 6.3 with nearly 50 small enhancements and fixes in the
   automation utility. The update adds a delay before and after dragging
   in the drag mouse action, adds a number of Typed String trigger
   options, promises vast improvement in the performance of actions that
   write named clipboard entries, allows more use of shortcut letters in
   switchers with non-English keyboards, utilizes a 'more modern method'
   of hardware key simulation to resolve issues with the Volume Control
   action, and adds support for displaying time saved in days, months, or
   years. A newly discovered bug can result in Keyboard Maestro-mediated
   clipboard text being messed up in some applications; look for 6.3.1 to
   appear shortly. ($36 new with a 20 percent discount for [6]TidBITS
   members, free update, 24.1 MB, [7]release notes)
