So. Last week I got an email from the maintainer of Google Notifier, the replacement for Gmail Notifier. Gmail+Growl, my software, has as its only function to bring “new mail” popup notifications to Gmail Notifier, and Google Notifier offers (along with support for Google Calendar) “new mail” popup notifications.
Considering the above facts, I’ve spent more work on churning out a new release of Gmail+Growl this weekend than you’d think.
Presenting Gmail+Growl 2.0 - aka Gmail+Growl for Google Notifier. It’s not backwards compatible with Gmail Notifier, and Gmail+Growl 1.7 isn’t forwards compatible with Google Notifier, thus the two parallel versions. Gmail+Growl will continue to thrive and provide Growl notifications for Google Notifier, simply because it’s one thing to have a popup notification and something completely different to have Growl popup notifications.
My thanks goes to David Oster at Google for going above and beyond in informing me about the new features in Google Notifier and the effects it has on the rest of the application.
