QS has been updated for Snow Leopard, fixing problems such as the menu services plugin.

Development has now moved from Google Code to Github:
http://github.com/tiennou/blacktree-alchemy

Full release notes below:

Default compiler changed to Clang, Apple's and the Open Source community's next gen compiler.
By doing that a 20 to 40% increase in runtime speed was gained while managing a catalog library with approx. 13k items. Quicksilver also feels a lot snappier too. This, of course, is mostly subjective (read: YMMV).

Actions should now appear localized again where appropriate.
(e.g. 'Copy to...' for example in German could also be typed as 'Bewegen nach...' or 'Open' as 'Ouvrir' in French.
.lproj folders for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Danish, Finish, Norwegian, Polish, and Swedish have been included. Mind you, the end result really depends on how Mac OS X handles this in the target language as Quicksilver just asks the OS for the localized representation of some common actions).

Composed characters like German umlauts (e.g. 'ä') will now show both parts (the letter 'a' and the 'dots'. Previously only letters would show up).

The broken action menu now shows up with a cross-selection of all enabled actions from the Actions preferences.

The Smart Replace and Replace dialog actions no longer crash Quicksilver and will now actually append numbers via a smart numbering system if a file to be copied or moved already exists at the destination.
In order to use the Smart Replace dialog you will need to set the feature level equal to or higher than 3.To do that enter the following exactly into the Terminal and press Return: defaults write com.blacktree.Quicksilver "Feature Level" 3

File operation requiring credentials no longer crash QS after providing the password.

The Large Type action now keeps the text visible again for prolonged periods.

Icons associated with custom file actions (e.g. like custom AppleScript actions) are now correctly displayed instead of a generic file placeholder icon.

AppleScript actions which return something now cause Quicksilver to reappear again ready to use the result for the next action.

Mouse tracking for triggers ('Mouse entered' / 'Mouse exited') now seems to work more reliably.

The Extras pref pane no longer has a row spacing issue upon first loading of the associated NIB file.

Excessive log outputs have been silenced to only occur if certain debugging environment variables are set in order to avoid spamming the Console.

Dozens of API upgrades like replacing deprecated methods with safer variants or adding declaration names for the new way of handling informal protocols.

All NIB files were converted to a SCM and collaboration friendly XIB format. A lot of clipping warnings have been fixed.

Triggers with wierd keys (like Function keys) are now displayed again.

Updated French and German localization.

Various other housekeeping tasks.

• Corrects some visual glitches on Leopard
• Fixes shelf/clipboard behavior in Leopard
• Fixes For Plug-ins and App update

- Dock icon now hides correctly in Leopard
- Many other small tweaks for Leopard
- Addressed some crashes related to switching applications
- Added a request for user data

Addressed some crashes related to switching applications Fixes for Leopard
