MythGrowl 0.4.2 Supports PPC

Monday, March 19th, 2007

I just released MythGrowl 0.4.2. Those who downloaded what turned out to be Intel only 0.4.1 can do a Check for updates… and will be updated via Sparkle.

This version now properly supports PPC machines, but will not run on any OS X versions earlier than 10.4 and there are no plans at this stage to support earlier versions.

If you haven’t downloaded MythGrowl yet, or are a PPC user then go grab the shiny new universal binary here

For non PPC users, the update won’t mean a whole lot, it does update the icon and enabling some build optimization options has slightly reduced the size of the binary though.

Many thanks to Mike Daley for his help building making this release work under PPC as well as Intel.

MythGrowl 0.4.1 Released

MythGrowl

For those of you watching the blog for a new release of MythGrowl, it’s finally here. I have moved the project to Sourceforge, got it a website, checked the code into SVN etc.

The new version has Sparkle support and some new features you will hopefully like. I could go on about how great I think the new version is but the easiest thing is probably just for you to head over to:

http://mythgrowl.sourceforge.net

Download it, and try it for yourself. The site also has details on obtaining the source code, reporting bugs etc.

Major credits goto Paul William for thinking up great new ideas for features to add to improve MythGrowl.

A number of people have emailed me and said that my so called universal binary doesn’t actually work on PPC Macs. I am looking into this and will hopefully release a version shortly that works on both PPC and Intel.

Have fun!
