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 “Install Failedâ€? on Leopard
  • Fixed problem where Growl would continue to be 1.1.2 even after installing 1.1.3, because we weren't looking in the correct Home directory for an old version
  • Fixed Growl updater continuing to inform you of 1.1.3 after you installed it (which was because it was still 1.1.2)
  • Fixed SMS display not loading into either Growl or the preference pane
  • Added version number to the Ăśber (About) tab in the German localization
  • Fixed comma splice in “can't bindâ€? error message
  • Localization updates:
    Czech
    French
    German (see above)
    Swedish
  • Disabled installation for all users on Leopard, because that doesn't work anymore as of 10.5.3
  • Corrected version number in many localizations
  • Fixed what could have been the same “Install Failedâ€? problem on Leopard that the Growl Installer package had
  • GrowlSafari actually works now (fixed some permissions problems in the Installer package)
  • Fixed localized strings in certain localizations
  • Corrected filename extension of Installer package: it was .mpkg, and is now .pkg
  • Allow --appIcon to accept an application name without the “.appâ€? suffix

Growl ReviewCan't live without this... - Version: 1.1.4, 8/2/2008 08:43PM PST

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!

Growl ReviewNot for Leopard Mail - Version: 1.1.4, 7/4/2008 12:25AM PST

Besides it says: 10.4 and higher, it is not compatible with 10.5.4 When you use Growl for Mail, the connection is dropped to 0 when you download your emails. Why is Growl still not compatible with Leopard after these updates?

Growl ReviewGrrrreat! - Version: 1.1.4, 6/19/2008 06:47PM PST

Works just fine on Leopard. I'm using it more & more, with different apps. I work with multi media all day, and Growl gets me to notice things that would pass me by because of audio and video projects that I work on. I get my email right away now, and I really like the notifications I get when I hot swap different Volumes and devices.

These and other uses make Growl an important addition to my daily work flow, as well as for my personal use!
