Growl 1.2.1 is Out
It's not updated often, and I suppose that's a good thing, but this morning I noticed that Growl 1.2.1 got updated this past weekend with a rather impressive list of changes. The Growl team seems to be a little miffed that several applications (DropBox, Adobe Creative Suite) are installing Growl as a part of their installations, and it's a little sneaky and underhanded in their book. I can understand their concerns - to a point. People see something in their systems that they didn't install, and it's not clear to them that it's because of something they did install. It can be annoying support emails. Not good.
But if someone wanted to include that functionality, and it's explicitly made open source, then it's really a shame that you can't "tag" it as part of a larger install package. Like "Growl for DrpoBox" in the name. Then, at least, it'll give the users a good idea what's going on and why that might be installed on their systems.
Anyway, I like it, and it's nice to see the improvements.
