I'm sorry that Growl broke compatibility. Reinstalling the older version might be a reasonable thing to do if this is critical functionality for you.

As I said, we're working on it. But I'm not likely to release an update *just* to fix Growl - any needed changes will be in the next update (no date given).

Note, too - our stuff has to support 10.4.11 and later. If Growl has caused themselves to break with older versions, we won't exclude Tiger users from a minor update just to support Growl's new release... in my opinion, their changes broke compatibility (we used their own 'best practices' to support Growl in the first place), and that's not a good enough reason to stop supporting our 10.4 users...

Finally, because they moved to the Mac App Store, that also means that they'll be sandboxed in the future. This may make it *impossible* for us to support Growl when they get fully locked down.
