Some of them do. The ones that don't use old frameworks that include a bogus check for a Growl prefpane (1.3 isn't a prefpane). > The answer is that you altered the interface … That is incorrect. > and are asking all your developers to update their code. That *is* correct. App developers are using old versions of the Growl framework that have bugs, including this one that is critical. > Unless you know that (almost) everyone has upgraded, you don't change an > interface... And the Growl project did not change the old interface. >>> and failed to release any of the auxiliary software like the itunes growl >>> addon at the same time. >> >> They are separate products which the Growl developers announced previously >> they will release separately and not at the same time. > > Thus breaking your users. How so? The latest version (1.2.2) of GrowlTunes and HardwareGrowler still work. >>> The code is also buggy and crashes for many people. >> >> I've only seen one crash reported for Growl 1.3 (the queuing-display crash). > > I've seen a lot of crash reports in the last few days, and you haven't > answered most of them. I'm going to withdraw my statement because it's misleading on a couple of points: 1. I'm not a Growl developer anymore. 2. The Growl developers can see all Growl 1.3 crashes (in iTunes Connect); I can only see crash logs posted on the list. The developers know what crashes Growl 1.3 has. I'm answering most of the emails to let the actual developers do actual bug-fixing work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
