More of the same really...

Like a lot of the others who have written here, Ive been an avid user of Growl for years. Overall, I dont get the impression that much has changed. There have been a few minor improvements like the ability to save your Growl history and things like that but nothing truly amazing. I dont really have a problem with this though as Growl has always been good enough for me and I dont have an issue paying $6 for GrowlTunes, HardwareGrowler and Growl (although Im not super pleased at the prospect either). It seems like they released a Lion-only version on the App Store so that they could monetize it although I dont take great issue with that because Growl to date has been a pretty solid piece of software.

The only thing that has really annoyed me is that Growl crashes or atleast doesnt automatically load when my computer resumes from sleep mode. This may seem like a tiny quirk but its something that bugs me since Im not able to view Growl notifications until I re-open the applicaiton. Ive read that this is fixed in 1.4 but since I dont have 1.4 in my hands yet and Ive been waiting for months, I do have to take off a star for this. Again, this is not to say the team doesnt deserve money because they do but I do wish that they could speed up their releases/bugfixes.
