The Growl folks today released a Mac App Store only version of Growl. OmniGrowl 4.4.2 does not recognize this installation.
A fix will be coming relatively soon, but ideally we need to wait for the Growl team to release their toolkit ("SDK") to developers first. If that does not get released in a timely fashion, we will release a provisional fix to be followed by full support for Growl 1.3.
Thanks for your patience, early adopters!

OmniGrowl 64-Bit Mode Restored
WBC today released another compatibility upgrade for OmniGrowl on OS X Lion.
The main change is that OmniGrowl now runs in 64-bit mode. Support for OS X versions as old as Tiger and for PPC Macs has been retained (for now) as well.
As usual please refer to the version history for details.

OmniGrowl Roars Louder on Lion, Plays Nice with GeekTool
WBC today released another compatibility upgrade for OmniGrowl on OS X Lion.
Last August, WBC released the first compatibility upgrade, then we promptly took off on vacation. But wouldn't you know it, some issues remained. We believe these have now all been fixed.
Issues with iTunes notifications and artwork have been fixed. Also, GeekTool integration has been restored with the version of GeekTool available on the Mac App Store.
As usual please refer to the version history for details.

OmniGrowl Roaring on Lion
WBC today released a Lion compatibility upgrade for OmniGrowl. Most features had been working normally on Lion, but a few tweaks were needed.
In particular, time out errors related to Address Book dates checking should now be eliminated. It is also now possible to set a hidden preference to turn off the feature to quit after excessive time outs completely, or to increase the number of time outs before OmniGrowl will quit. (This "quit" feature is deliberate: the idea is if for some reason OmniGrowl is repeatedly getting stuck, there's no reason to tie up your system…)
As usual, please see the version history for details.
Note:
Early downloaders of OmniGrowl 4.3.4 with PPC Macs: please re-download the universal binary version. Dropping PPC support may soon come, but not yet! (The universal version was posted at 7 pm EDT on Aug 15.)

MoveTunes update adds features
Wooden Brain Concepts today released an update to MoveTunes which adds features and improves performance.
MoveTunes now retains artwork when moving music files.
It also includes the option to copy moved tracks to a MoveTunes Moved playlist. This helps if you use smart playlists based on recently added music, because you can now exclude that playlist.
MoveTunes also now includes an option to copy the original track to a MoveTunes Removed playlist. This greatly improves performance, because now MoveTunes does not need to have iTunes remove each move track individually, which takes time with larger libraries. Instead, you can delete all the tracks from that playlist when MoveTunes is done, by selecting them all and then hitting command-option-delete.
This update fixes critical issues and also helps to improve security. It includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code.
We're just joking about that last one. (Version histories for Microsoft Office for some reason say that every time...) But other minor under-the-hood improvements were also made. Please see the version history for details, as usual.

OmniGrowl update further improves iTunes artwork and more
OmniGrowl 4.3.3, released today, adds further improvements to iTunes artwork handling.
First, the feature to add artwork found on the internet to the iTunes album has been fixed. It has been broken since iTunes 10.2.
Second, OmniGrowl will now show separate artwork for each track of an album under specific conditions. Normally, OmniGrowl only checks artwork once per album in order to reduce the drain on iTunes.
OmniGrowl has updated Growl to 1.2.2 under the hood, and now includes the Growl installer, so it can either update Growl or install it when not present.
As usual, please see the version history for details.

Apologies for Support MIA
The past month have brought some big (little) changes to the home front of Wooden Brain Concepts. A newborn boy is now part of the team!
As a result, some support inquiries have gone unanswered. On top of this, we lost some email during this period due to database corruption.
As we strive to answer support emails in as timely a fashion as possible, we apologize for this.
If you have contacted support during the past month and have not yet received a reply, please send your query again.
Thanks for your understanding.
