Growl 1.1 update

GROWL

Growl is a (but maybe is better to say "the") notification system for Mac OS X: it allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications.

It's one those projects that Apple should include into future releases OS X.

The last update 1.1 introduced a global positioning system (not the NAVSTAR GPS that you may think, this system allows you to decide the default starting position for notifications). I found this update very interesting, before the 1.1 release every notification (with the exceptions of bezel and Music Video ones) appeared on the top-right corner of the screen, and on a 12 inch monitor they were always over the search box of an application; I hated that while I was clicking in that position, a notification appeared, and the event associated with the click was executed every time against my will. Now I can put notification on the bottom-right so I find them less annoying.

This is the site of the project, and here you can find the change-log.
