ruby-growl version 4.0 has been released!

• Documentation

A pure-ruby growl notifier for UDP and GNTP growl protocols. ruby-growl allows you to perform Growl notifications from machines without growl installed (for example, non-OSX machines).

What is growl? Growl is a really cool “global notification system originally for Mac OS X”.

You can receive Growl notifications on various platforms and send them from any machine that runs Ruby.

OS X: growl.info Windows: www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/ Linux: github.com/mattn/growl-for-linux

ruby-growl also contains a command-line notification tool named ‘growl’. It is almost completely option-compatible with growlnotify. (All except for -p is supported, use –priority instead.)

Changes:

• API changes:

  • Growl is now a wrapper for Growl::UDP (1.2 and older) and Growl::GNTP (1.3 and newer). The main difference is that notifications need to be registered with Growl#add_notification instead of via Growl#initialize.

  • Ruby 1.9.2 or newer is required to use ruby-growl

• Major enhancements

  • Added GNTP protocol support for registration and notification including application and notification icons and callbacks.

  • Moved UDP protocol support to Growl::UDP

  • Growl automatically determines if the growl server supports GNTP or UDP and uses the best protocol.
