I’m happy to say that Neu 1.1 has been approved by Apple, and is now available from the Mac App store, and from this website.

This version of Neu includes a number of improvements:

• Added “behaviour” and “appearance” preference panes, removed “general” pane, reorganised preference items.
• Improved handling of symbolic links, added support for Finder aliases, and added options relating to them. Added “Create Document On The Desktop…” and “Create And Open On The Desktop…” service menu commands.
• When documents are created on the desktop, they are now just selected on the desktop in the Finder, rather than another “Desktop” window being opened.
• Added some more substitution variables.
• Switched Help to use an embedded PDF manual instead of Apple Help / web pages.
• General bug fixes and improved OS support.

It doesn’t stop there though, work on Neu 1.2 is underway, so watch this space.
