As someone guilty of doing what they'll advise against (but only in a non-business home use context), the obvious alternative is to not update the OS until updates for GrowlMail (and anything else that's likely to need them) supporting the new OS update have come out too. That particular precaution may or may not meet your needs; but as a practical matter, very few people really _need_ to grab an OS update within a few hours or even a few weeks of when it comes out, unless it has a fix or feature they really need, in which case, they need to decide what they're willing to risk breaking for the sake of installing the OS update early. (however...if there's a way that works for the developers and within what Apple will allow, it would sure be great to close the window entirely and be able to have a 10.x.y+1 ready GrowlMail update out _before_ 10.x.y+1 goes official...a simpler user experience and a lot less repetitive discussion if that could happen. I wonder if Apple could be asked if just the magic UUIDs could be incorporated in something to be released before an update becomes official...I wonder if donations would cover Mac Developer Program subscriptions for the developers...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
