   Growl 2.0

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   The Growl Project has released [1]Growl 2.0, a major update for the
   system-wide notification utility that brings compatibility with
   Notification Center in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. With this new release,
   you can set Growl to route all of its notifications through
   Notification Center (rather than use Growl's standalone pop-up
   notifications). However, you'll still find some apps (including
   Dropbox) using Growl's notification system instead of forwarding to
   Notification Center due to the requirement that developers update their
   apps to the Growl 2.0 API. The update also adds support for Prowl and
   Boxcar, two utilities that enable you to receive notifications from
   your Mac on your iOS device. It also resolves the high CPU spikes and
   multiple crashes suffered by the previous version. ($3.99 new from the
   Mac App Store, free upgrade from previous versions, 6.1 MB)
