quicksilver-screenThat took a long time. Quicksilver 1.0b57 is out. Though the version number change is minor it brings some interesting updates.

According to the release notes there is a 20% – 40% speed increase, this is all while managing a library of 13k items. The software feels snappier too, which is also an improvement over previous versions which sometimes felt like Quicksilver was processing something in the background without reacting. The speed improvements are due to Clang. Clang is an Apple sponsored compiler front end project for C, C++, and Objective-C.

At the moment you only can get the latest version via Macupdate – Quicksilver 1.0b57 Download.
