Growl 2.0.2

Growl lets you know when things happen. Files finished downloading, friends came online, new email has arrived - Growl can let you know when any event occurs with a subtle notification. The rest of the time, Growl stays out of your way.

Along with letting you know when things happen, Growl also gives you full control over how you are notified and what action (if any) you want to take in response to the notification. You can choose to be alerted with a visual indicator or an audible alert, both, or neither. You can choose the type of display that is shown, whether the display remains on the screen, the importance of the notification, and even if the notification should be forwarded to another computer. You can have notifications that trigger an email, run a script, launch a program, or are read out loud.

Change Log:

* Changes:
- improved initial startup time (should be <1 second for a standard installation) - reduced memory usage, both during normal operation and cumulatively after GfW has been running for a long time (both of the above were partially an indirect result of decoupling the History from the main operation of the application) - loads of code cleanup (removing event handlers, better Dispose() operations, etc) - improved tab icons (less jaggy) - added support for data: URIs in *-Icon headers - added support for Forwarder and Subscriber plugins - added notify.io integration (via Subscriptions) - removed hidden splash screen (found the root cause of the bug that was requiring it) - improved debug information gathering - made a change so that registrations/notifications are no longer forwarded if they are disabled - changed auto-update check interval from 4 hours to 24 hours - fixed a bug that caused an additional -ERROR response to be sent after the last -OK or -CALLBACK response - fixed a bug that could cause loss of application preferences if specified display is no longer available - fixed a bug that could cause the (supposed to be hidden) splash screen to appear and hang the app - fixed a bug that could cause GfW to crash if the response to a check for update is missing or malformed - fixed a bug that prevented GfW from detecting when Bonjour-based forwards went offline (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430732) - released Webhook Forwarder plugin - released RSS/Atom Feed Subscription plugin * IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES: - All history items will be cleared when upgrading to this version due to a change in how history notifications are serialized to disk - Additional displays will no longer be loaded from the program folder (ex: c:\Program Files\Growl\Displays); all additional displays must be installed in the one of the following locations: User's personal folder: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Growl\2.0.0.0\Displays\AllUser's folder: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Growl\2.0.0.0\Displays\ (If the same display is found in both locations, the display in the user's personal folder takes precedence.)
