Growl at 1.2, with 64-bit support

I'm trying to figure out something here...what the freak is the deal with all the bashing going on Tuaw? So what, its old news. Big deal. Its not the end of the world. Yeah, I came across this update a while back somewhere else... I don't have a lot of time to check multiple blogs, so it doesn't really bother me if something was "posted somewhere else x days ago" or if an article isn't the most recent news. If you want to "journalistic integrity" (sarcasm, not a poke at the author) go somewhere else. I appreciate the effort these people put forth. The elitist crap I read in the comments makes me hate that I'm lumped in with the stereotypical Mac users (sorry to those that aren't uppity).

Good ol' TUAW...late to absolutely everything. Will you guys ever break this new stereotype?

BTW, lots of complaints a work about GrowlMail not working. There's some hack on that has to be done to get it to work.

just in: Mac OS X released!

oh...

Growl 1.2 worked fine but the GrowlMail "Extra" that must be installed separately continually crashed during installation. A workaround is to install Growl 1.2 but use the GrowlMail installer bundled with Growl 1.1.6. See Growl's download page for the Growl 1.1.6 package.

I'm used to getting last weeks news, today on TUAW. But 2 month old news...wow.

"Further, the Growl framework has been re-written in Cocoa dropping support for the Carbon-based API."

This is incorrect, there has always been a Cocoa API in the Growl framework. The carbon API is still available in the 1.2 framework, it will be removed entirely in 1.3.

-rudy (yes, from the Growl about tab.)

What news they could have told you is that GrowlMail 1.2 breaks after you install the Snow Leopard update 10.6.2, because the latter raises the Mail.app version to 4.2 from 4.1 causing it to reject the GrowlMail 1.2 plug-in as incompatible (because GrowlMail reports itself as made for version 4.1 of Mail.app). A temporary fix is to add some UUIDs to the GrowlMail Info.plist file in the GrowlMail.mailbundle.

Guys,

Stop being jerks. It's an honest mistake.

Wait wait, I get it.

It's currently 09.28 in the AM. Maybe he thought he got an early release.
