Product Description:
Growl is a global notifications system for OS X. (for example) Growl allows you to get notifications on iTunes track changes, new email notifications, and many other things.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed crash on notification when Safari 4 beta is installed ([65a0bcf23292], fixing #336354) We don't know for sure whether this also happened with Safari 4.0 release, but whether it did or not, it's fixed now.
- Fixed another crash, first seen in betas, on PowerPC machines ([0d7cf6a69fde], fixing #385444)
- Only show notifications for unread messages ([b19d240b576a])
- Took out a little more insurance against the possibility of clobbering an Apple method when running under a future version of Mail ([caae0ed9a580])
- Internal refactoring, eliminating an assumption about Mail's internal nature ([f8a902d33769] and [c36ddc8e6b22])
- Now loads its preference pane into Mail's Preferences window by method swizzling, which is explicitly supported in 64-bit Mac OS X, unlike the previous technique of class posing, which is explicitly not ([3be8b67aac72], fixing #363176)
- Fixed the off-by-two error in the displays pop-ups on the preference pane's Applications tab ([30c4b669cad3], fixing #251376)
- Fixed MusicVideo to not fall over after the first notification when it's using a screen other than the menu-bar screen ([10d1c49d4df1])
- Improved reliability of local-network forwarding ([099dfa400709])
- Forwarding now uses the Keychain to store passwords ([899d3019a60a])
- The "Growl Bug Submission" button now goes to our Report a Bug page, not our long-deceased Trac site ([71e205ca6b20], fixing #301955)
- Fixed assorted memory leaks ([9d0747a53f45], [642c27e46937], [a8b169b45c40]/[442ca737bbcb], [942b66d1feef], [ab8742429e22], [494e5044075d], [5deddffb750a], [a4a2e33ce568]); thanks to the Clang Static Analyzer for revealing these
- Also fixed a leak in the Carbon API ([ba114c864317])
- Fixes to our Python API: â?¦ Fixed a couple of assertions ([69b5347d8262], contributed by Charles Lepple) â?¦ Switched from the deprecated md5 module to its replacement, the hashlib module ([2e72fc363066], contributed by Bjoern Haeuser)
- We now generate dSYM bundles for every release, which makes us better able to read crash logs from 1.1.5b1 and later ([07c18306756c] and [cda6a8576c59], fixing #341838)
- Fixed a strange error in the Automator action--please let us know if this broke it for you ([54eff2ab48e0])
- Credits are now localizable
- Added the version number to the Get Info string in English and Dutch
- Updated Catalan localization of the Growl installation-capable framework ([ba114c864317])
- Other localization updates postponed until 1.1.6 due to critical fixes
- If you forget to enter a description, growlnotify now prints a prompt message before waiting for you to type one in on stdin ([5f49950abfbb])
- Fixed a crash when you pass --appIcon and name an application that you don't have ([c5aea4e41bce])
- Show the correct AirPort and Network icons on more recent versions of Mac OS X ([c78b283d2fca])
- Added new icons for power events ([2564276c9d5c])
- Allowed power sources to notify again consecutively when their charging state changes ([f3398597ecdd])
- Enabled coalescing: a new notification, particularly from a power source, will replace an existing one on-screen if there is one ([f3398597ecdd])
- Added the word "minutes" after the number of minutes remaining to charge, the same as the battery's time-remaining notification already had ([62367bdaaf88])
- Fixed "(null)" in notifications for radio stream events ([2776a948782a]--thanks to Ludek for the patch)
- No longer includes some of its headers in the distribution ([91e95ee0745d])
- Fixed version information in GrowlSafariLoader bundle ([803920185e34])

Needs to Become Shareware for Better Support - Version: 1.1.4, 2/26/2009 10:49AM PST

I love Growl, but like others in the freeware category it lags (significantly at times) in keeping current with the Mac OS, or other issues that can make using it miserable. I wish they would simply make it shareware whereby we could expect more support.

the one thing about Growl i've always had a hard time believing is that you can't make the notifications appear wherever you want on your screen. they have to be in a corner unless you're using Music Video, or Bezel with the Charcoal option selected. is this really true, or am i just missing something in the documentation about making the notifications appear where you want them?
Can't live without this...

I feel lost when I don't have Growl keeping me up to date on everything. It's really pretty amazing how many apps integrate with Growl and how little configuration it needs; it really follows the Mac philosophy of "just working." There is, of course, plenty of customization for those who want it, but all of the configuration is painless. Five stars!
