true launch bar 4 is out today

[mouser]

even though i have my own program (launchbar commander) that has similar aspirations, the program True Launch Bar, clearly one of the best launch bar tools ever made, has today released version 4:

True Launch Bar is also one of the most reasonably priced programs out there.  it's now $15 on their site (and donationcoder.com members can get it for $10 here: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=2250.0).

Hard to beat that deal and certainly worth a look (note there is also a free launch bar on their site).


the only thing worth mention is that the change history from version 3.2 to version 4 says only: "Some minor changes "

Yeah, funny that he just lists "some minor changes" on the history page!

One of the minor changes made after the last release candidate is a fix for a delay with TLB startup. At least I am no longer getting a delay.
