Growl is a notification system that allows any application to send it a notification, and then it displays it. You can (for example) be notified that you have new email, or that a download completed, etc.
Support for Applescript, Perl, Python, TCL, Cocoa, Carbon, Ruby and more being added.
What’s new:
Version 1.1.3:
Growl core improvements
• Worked around conflict with Logitech Control Center 2.4, and implemented countermeasures in case another input-manager hack in the future has the same bug
• Show notifications on every Space (Leopard)
• Fixed bug that caused Growl to silently not show notifications if you deleted your default display
• Fixed bug where Growl would fail to clean up .growlRegDict files in the Temporary Items folder, instead leaving them to appear in the Trash when you next logged in
• Use the alert-sound device, rather than the default sound device, to play sounds
• Don’t spam the Console log when a forwarding attempt fails
Extras improvements
• Rewrote GrowlMail to fix conflict between it and Leopard, and make it much more robust for the future
• GrowlMail installer package now allows installing to other startup volumes without restarting
• Updated GrowlSafari to work with Safari 3.0 and later (thanks to Ben Willmore)
• Fixed growlnotify to actually send the notification on Leopard
• GrowlTunes no longer shows the rating if it’s 0, since you probably just haven’t rated it
• Fixed German localization of GrowlTunes
Preference pane improvements
• Moved the version number outside of the Credits file, so we don’t need to update that file every version
• Fixed a hang on changing the default display
• Updated the Brazilian Portuguese localization
Display improvements
• Fixed displaying a close widget on mouse-over
• Fixed humongous memory leaks in WebKit display
• Made obtaining image data in WebKit display more efficient
