[ANN]GrowlNotifier 1.0.1

[Satoshi Nakagawa]

Growl Notifier 1.0.1 has been released.

http://rubyforge.org/projects/growlnotifier/
http://growlnotifier.rubyforge.org/

Growl Notifier allows your application to post Growl notifications.
It can then receive clicked and timed out notifications from Growl.
Or you can give it a block, which will then be used as a clicked callback.

It is an extraction and clean up of the Growl code from LimeChat.
The option to pass procs is extracted from WebApp.

Hi Tim,

At some point we decided we wanted to extract this code as a separate
lib and gem.
During this process we discovered the Meow lib. But after studying the
source, at that point in time, we decided to go ahead anyway. Because
our code was more mature and with better test coverage etc.

We have however not compared them at this point in time, so if you do
please let us know

Cheers,
Eloy
