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 1.1.4:
Growl core improvements
• Fixed “Install Failed” 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 Über (About) tab in the German localization
• Fixed comma splice in “can’t bind” error message
• Localization updates:
? Czech
? French
? German (see above)
? Swedish
GrowlMail improvements
• 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 Failed” problem on Leopard that the Growl Installer package had
GrowlSafari improvements
• 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
growlnotify improvements
• Allow –appIcon to accept an application name without the “.app” suffix
