Yes. Growl 1.3 is horribly broken. I recommend seeking a refund from Apple and backing out to the older release, which works far better. The developers did not test the upgrade mechanism well and altered the interface between growl and applications (claiming it is the fault of app developers for not having all upgraded to the new and unreleased framework in advance), and failed to release any of the auxiliary software like the itunes growl addon at the same time. The code is also buggy and crashes for many people. They have also (apparently) taken the code closed source (at least for now) so no one can try to fix the problems on their own and release fixed versions outside of the Growl developers themselves. They have generally posted messages here explaining that they did their best, it is not their fault, and besides why are we complaining. I've been less than impressed by this response but it is all too human to deny that one has done something wrong rather than to admit it and try to move on. Anyway, if you read this list for a day or two, or look at the archives, you'll find complaints by the bucketload, along with half hearted statements to the effect that they don't think they could have done any better. -- Perry E.
