Yep, there's a change to the data returned by Wolfram Alpha. I'll fix this and release an update in a day or two.

Preface:  Please bear with me on this one, I was a bit excited writing about this feature request so I am sure I repeat myself plenty but a quick read and the screenshot should tell it all. Thank you!
 
The workflow section is amazing and with the new layout of workflows I think it would be even better if workflow creators could give users notes about usage and possible variables that need to be adjusted or can be adjusted in various scripts located throughout the workflow.
 
Yes, I know titles and subtext exist to explain the basic idea behind what a workflow does, but as of now if different parameters can be set within a script the developer either comments the parameters in the script itself, which is always good practice or in the worst case scenario no comments exist and the user searches through the code to figure out what the parameters can be used by double clicking the script icon in the workflow to view the script and/or search for comments containing information about different parameters that the script can take advantage of.
 
I hope this will clear up what I am getting at:
 
Take for example one of Pedro Lobo's wonderful workflows: "Spotlight Comments" - Pedro always comments his code very neatly for users to view parameters and makes a detailed installation and usage instructions for his users wherever he posts the workflow. When a repository is up and running and these wonderful detailed instructions are not joined with the actual workflow download the user is missing a lot.
 
This is what Pedro posted with his workflow:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Installation and Setup
  Download and import. As for setup, there isn’t much to it. Simply define what your desired default action should be when encountering existing comments. Change property defaultOverwrite : "append"  accordingly. Possible options are append, replace and interactive.   Extension Usage   Triggering the extension and entering text without any of the following parameters will default the the behaviour discussed above, with the exception of delete of course. -d — Will remove any spotlight comment from the selected files; -a — Will append to existing comments; -r — Will replace existing comments; -i — Will function interactively allowing you to decide on a file by file basis. It will display the existing comment to facilitate your decision too  There is no need to leave any space after the parameter but you can do so if you prefer (it will be stripped from the begging) 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Sometimes after you download a workflow you forget all of this wonderful information.
 
Solution: 
 
 

 
 
 
In the workflow "environment" allow for the developer and users the option of inserting a text field that spanned the bottom of the workflow screen that can be added by the workflow creator and especially the user to make comments about the workflow.
 
1) It could be used for jotting ideas while creating workflows.
2) Wouldn't require remembering where a workflow was downloaded from and visiting that site (if a site is listed in details) to learn more about it.
3) Usage instructions would be right their for you to see at a glance.
4) When making modifications to someone else's workflow, note your changes.
 
So many great uses for a feature like this and I beg of you, If you implement any feature I ask for during this beta period, PLEASE let it be this one!!
 
Keep interface clean:
The text Field could slide up from the bottom if added and then collapsed again to make the workflow view clean and pretty but when you need the details or want to make a quick note, you can pull it up and edit away never again forgetting important info about the workflow.
 
I am sure Andrew will have a great way to implement this. Please vote it up so it happens, thank you to everyone for sharing their workflows and again to the Alfred team for letting me beta test and make feature requests. Cheers!

As an update to this popular topic, it's likely that we'll bring back "remember last typed query" as I'm finding myself missing it too. It may be slightly different but keep an eye out on the next build or two
