There’s an update for nvALT available (2.2.7) via nvALT->Check for Updates, or download directly below. It’s a lightweight bugfix, no big deal. Primarily for those who noticed that it no longer automatically focuses the search field when you bring it up via hotkey or menu item.

We’re seeing more and more Mac apps switching to subscription-based models. It reminds me of premium channels on my Apple TV: I cut my cable a long time ago, and was happy to have the option to add HBO, Showtime, and others without needing a cable subscription… but the cost added up fast. It’s not going to be a sustainable model for users who need more than a couple of apps.

There’s a quick update for nvALT available. These things do seem to happen in multiples. It corrects a little mistake in the handling of the menu bar item in 10.9.5. Most people probably didn’t even notice it. I sure didn’t.

I haven’t been using Safari much for a while, but after Sierra came out I started getting a lot of requests to update my TabLinks extension. I hadn’t planned to, but then looked into it and realized it was just a codesigning issue. But you know me, I had to update everything else, too.
