This release includes some exiting new and requested features: including support for Spaces, creating timers to achieve delays or timed events and support for running Phoenix completely in the background! We also added some nice additions to the API, made various other improvements and fixed a few annoying bugs.

Phoenix is a lightweight OS X window and app manager scriptable with JavaScript. You can also easily use languages which compile to JavaScript such as CoffeeScript. Phoenix aims for efficiency and a very small footprint. If you like the idea of scripting your own window or app management toolkit with JavaScript, Phoenix is probably going to give you the things you want. With Phoenix you can bind keyboard shortcuts and system events, and use these to interact with OS X.

1.) highly customisable, write your own configuration 2.) bind keyboard shortcuts and system events to your callback functions 3.) control and interact with your screens, spaces, mouse, apps and windows 4.) log messages, deliver notifications or display messages as modals and 5.) run external commands
