Growl 0.6
FYI, Growl 0.6 is out in the wild today. If you're curious as to what on earth it is, please see an older interview we did on it. I haven't had a chance to really put it through its paces, but luckily they leave 0.5 available just in case you have a major problem.
There should be some fun eye candy (some new bezels, etc.) but much of the tech in this release is on the back-end and is aimed at helping developers integrate it. I.E., improving what happens when a Growl-enabled app is installed on a System that doesn't have it installed.
The CLI tool is greatly improved, among other things. Unfortunately you wouldn't know it from looking at their site, but that's because they haven't quite grok'd the value of a changelog yet... I think priorities are in this release, but I'm not sure. 'What's new in this version...' people. ;)
At some point I'll go through my notes from various convos and strike out what's confidential so the rest can go online as there will be some neat stuff between versions.

haha, db. I was actually going to pretty up the changelog tonight and then put it up on the website, heh.
Thanks for the post. :D








You could always check out the log messages in the subversion repository. Of course, there's a *lot* of revisions to go through.
