OmniGrowl now properly recognizes when MobileMe / CalDav calendars are enabled (checked) or disabled in iCal.
New feature by popular demand: same-day notifications for all-day events, iCal birthdays, and Address Book birthdays and custom events, and Yahoo Upcoming events.
(Previously all-day event notifications were only given one week, three days, and one day before the event.)
Same-day event notifications ("Event today...") are on by default but can be turned off on the Personal Tab under the clock.
iCal birthdays are consistently treated as birthdays and not also as regular all-day events.

Default full notifications can now use either artist or album artist (when available).
Improved notification display for radio streams (full and basic).

Other minor 4info clean-up.

4info site changes caused 4info notifications to update too frequently. Fixed.
Eliminated unintended console logging for MacZot.

Added different kind of internet connection dropped/resumed notification when both check internet connection and check network status changes notifications are on.

Now internet checks more aggressively check for an active internet connection.
Fixed a MacZot formatting issue.
Improved unicode support.

Compiled with 64-bit support.
64-bit capable Macs now require OS X 10.5 or higher (Tiger still supported on earlier systems)
bug fix: Yahoo Upcoming API key could not be verified on 10.5 Intel systems and possibly other configurations.
Removed redundant GeekTool refresh which generated excess system logging. This requires GeekTool 3.0 final (if using GeekTool 3 integration).

OmniGrowl 4.0 is a MASSIVE update that took many hundreds of hours of work to complete.
With this major update, OmniGrowl now costs $12.
This is a $6 PAID UPGRADE if you purchased OmniGrowl before January 1, 2010.
(Free for those who paid after that.)
Major addition of Events tab, powered by Yahoo Upcoming (with your own easy-to-get API key).
Notifications of events in 12 customizable categories by current location, supporting both U.S. and international cities.
Notifications of events on your personal Yahoo Upcoming watch lists and friends' watch lists, as if they were iCal events.
Completed Upcoming events and Pollstar & last.fm concert notifications (by default) can persist across launches of OmniGrowl.
OmniGrowl 4.0 is now a regular, visible dock application (by default).
This eliminates cumbersome method to quit and open preferences from the scripts menu.
(Advanced users can still turn off dock visibility with a simple option.)
Dock visibility is only available on Leopard & higher; for Tiger it is background only as before.
Full menu system implemented, making immediate action scripts mostly unnecessary.
(Immediate actions are still installed for the benefit of advanced users.)
Pause & resume all notifications from the window or menu.
Preferences are now automatically saved every 15 minutes, rather than only when window closed or application quit.
RSS presets auto-fill twitter user timelines, @mentions, and #search terms.

Twitter feeds for @mention and #search presets show profile image of the original poster.
Again corrected twitter RSS feed headline/content redundancy.

Several of the newest unseen headlines for each feed can be shown at once in instant headlines.
Improved obtaining pictures from RSS news items.
Some feeds that more reliably show pictures now: BBC, New York Times, Herald Tribune, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and others.
Yahoo weather notification titles only show city by default (when using Yahoo WOEID).
Yahoo weather notification titles can be set to show (or not show) state and country (when using Yahoo WOEID).
4info search fields are now treated as search sets that allow multiple search terms per set.
4info search sets can each be set to stay on screen separately.
4info notifications are clickable for truncated results.
4info search terms can each have a custom image, with a drag & drop image well.
4info search terms are no longer title cased in notifications (bad for stocks).
4info & RSS custom images can be dropped from dragged images (web browser, etc.) and not just image files.
4info default images for U.S. sports associations and AAPL stock added.
Set custom images for Birthday and Anniversary with image well.
last.fm & Pollstar major rewrites.
last.fm & Pollstar format and behavior made more consistent with each other.
last.fm & Pollstar each try to find artist images.
last.fm new option to only match iTunes artists without checking Pollstar.
last.fm: new icon.
Current artwork and track info shown on Music tab when open, along with artwork source.
Added iTunes control buttons to the Music tab, including next album and previous album.
Added buttons to the Music tab to forget the artwork, add to iTunes, or reveal it in the Finder (or Path Finder).
Checks (optionally) local music album folders for images (for iTunes notifications and GeekTool).
GeekTool support integrated into OmniGrowl directly and no longer requires using the plugin/template.
OmniGrowl iTunes GeekTool Template is therefore removed.
If GeekTool's geeklets are added to only "OmniGrowl" group, OmniGrowl makes them both invisible when nothing is playing in iTunes.
Added ability to pause and resume notifications on the main OmniGrowl tab and from the menus.
Debug mode can be turned on & off on the Test tab and from the menus.
Made all interval sliders and slider text consistent.

Added Find capability for About tab (and internal logs).
Updated OmniGrowl iTunes Template (basic) to match changes in OmniGrowl.
Bug fix: Check internet for artwork could not actually be turned off.
Bug fix: "Fetched Artwork to iTunes Album (WBC)" script fixes; should not have applied to iTunes selections when iTunes stopped, only current playing/paused album.
Bug fix: In same add-on script, whether an album had existing artwork sometimes was false positive.
(Note: most people can just use the "Add" button on the Music tab now that OG has a dock icon.)
Bugfix: Yahoo Traffic was not handling dates correctly with Snow Leopard.
Cleaned up MacZot formatting.
Organized 4info, Twitter, and Yahoo upcoming files in the Application Support folder.
Organized the temporary files OmniGrowl uses into an OmniGrowl folder (normally unseen).
Worked around Growl bug involving click contexts, ID coalescing and stay-on-screen notifications.
Updated Growl framework to 1.2.1b3.
Updated and verified all tool tips.
Re-wrote online documentation (again!).

Documentation has been moved entirely online, updated, reorganized, and simplified, with pictures included.
OmniGrowl now looks for iTunes artwork with Discogs first before other sources.
Above change returns more accurate and higher quality images but may take slightly longer.
With the following suite of changes to Immediate Actions and Plugins, OmniGrowl is now even more useful as a relatively unobtrusive artwork search tool, when set up with GeekTool 3.
Please see iTunes Artwork for more details.
iTunes notification shown when iTunes is un-paused.
This allows artwork to reappear with OmniGrowl iTunes Plugin when using GeekTool.
"Downloaded Artwork to iTunes Album (WBC)" renamed to "Fetched Artwork to iTunes Album (WBC)" and moved from Plugins to Immediate Actions (in order to be next to "Fetched Artwork Forget").
"Fetched Artwork Forget" Immediate Action added.
Above Action will forget a downloaded album image if it is incorrect, but of course not touch artwork in iTunes. Mainly of use for those using the GeekTool Template as the OmniGrowl iTunes plugin.
iTunes Now (Immediate Actions) will now properly trigger the OmniGrowl iTunes plugin when iTunes is in a stopped state.
(When using the GeekTool template as the OmniGrowl iTunes plugin, this means artwork and track info will properly be cleared.)
OmniGrowl GeekTool template adds property to (optionally) append text to track info when the image originated from the internet rather than iTunes artwork, when "show full notifications" is on in OmniGrowl. (This text defaults to "°")
(That info makes it easier to add missing artwork to iTunes with the included "Fetched Artwork to iTunes Album" Immediate Action.)
(Note: if you're already using it as the OmniGrowl iTunes plugin, please replace the OmniGrowl iTunes plugin with the updated copy from the template.)
Added "iTunes Toggle Full Notifications" to Immediate Actions.
Switching from full to basic will force searching internet for artwork even if iTunes has artwork already (in case the existing artwork is wrong or small, etc.)

Validated all RSS feed presets.
Updated RSS feed preset URLs for Slate, Wired, Guardian UK, el Comercio, AFP, AP, and ABC.
Added a few new RSS feed presets.

Added an option to check instant RSS feeds more frequently
Increased the maximum number of instant feeds to check at a time from 5 to 10, though a low number is still recommended for normal use.
Yahoo weather notifications are now clickable and direct to the relevant forecast page.
Weather for international cities is now set using the newer Yahoo Where On Earth ID (WOEID) rather than the older Location ID.
The old Location ID remains supported if previously entered as long as Yahoo continues to recognize it.
Weather notifications now use the newer and cleaner Yahoo icons by default.
Using the old weather icons is still an option, however, as they tend to scale better with most popular styles.
When using the new Yahoo icons, WBC recommends using the somewhat hard-to-find Cumulonimbus Growl Style.
Updated Growl Framework to 1.2.1.
Added Info & Advanced Info documents online, with new help button on the About tab.

Fixed bug that caused birthdays around or just after New Year's to notify on the wrong days.
Updated Growl Framework to 1.2 (release).

Added option to check internet for iTunes artwork.
Above works even when not showing "full notifications" so it doesn't choke iTunes.
Added new iTunes script addition to add downloaded art to the current album in iTunes. This makes OmniGrowl a decent artwork finder in its own right.
Added new iTunes script plugin that can be triggered by iTunes track changes.
Included an iTunes GeekTool template for the new iTunes plugin that will display iTunes artwork and track info on the desktop with GeekTool 3 installed and some minimal configuration. (See Advanced Info.)
Since OmniGrowl handles everything, this is a much better solution for GeekTool users than anything currently available (just try it).
Includes Growl Framework 1.2b4.

[09-23-2009]

Updated hacker notifications for Snow Leopard.
Updated Updated .Mac sync log for MobileMe
Added new iCal script plugin template that can be triggered for iCal events with send mail examples for Apple Mail and Entourage (see Advanced Info)

Fixed 4Info URL (again!), hopefully for good this time (added redirect also).
Adjusted Flight Status parsing to work with iCal feeds from TripIt.

Fixed 4Info URL (page had moved)
Limited all notifications to 1000 characters maximum.

Worked around problem with S.M.A.R.T. status check that causes drive noises on some systems. (This noise is caused by an issue with recent versions of Leopard and diskutil).
Work around involves turning off S.M.A.R.T. check by default, and allowing user to turn it back on if desired and set the check interval between 30 minutes and 6 hours (rather than every 5 minutes as before).
Uncoupled “ignore disabled calendars” and “calendar exclusions”. This means now you can exclude iCal calendars by name match without ignoring all calendars disabled (unchecked) in iCal.
Fixed MacZot parsing.
Fixed Woot parsing.
Fixed Pollstar parsing, with a major update to it.
Pollstar notifications now clickable, bringing up artist tour dates page.
Now possible, though not (yet?) required, to specify a Pollstar city code.
Fixed problem with non-US & Canada countries settings on the Personal tab. (OmniGrowl kept trying to look up data from Address Book even when filled in already.)
Fixed some outdated RSS feed URLs in the presets. (Please report bad ones.)

Added global option to set RSS Instant news items to coalesce (defaults to off).
Added new notification: Ambient news from CityTools.
Controls for Ambient News added to the Info tab (defaults to off).
Ambient News immediate action added to scripts menu.
Random Oblique Strategy (ROS) made less frequent by about 25%, so if you like ROS, you may want to increase the frequency.

Another major update!
Added support for Growl notification coalescing.
Above feature means that old notifications of the same type will in most cases be replaced by newer ones if they are still on screen.
Added (preliminary) support for Atom format news feeds.
Added over 100 RSS feed presets including many major international papers, even in Korean, Japanese, Russian, etc.

Custom icons shown for Woot, MacZot, last.fm, and Pollstar also.
Fixed setup last.fm link and clarified last.fm setup information.
Fixed some other links.

Notifications surpressed while OmniGrowl preferences window is open for first 2 minutes or is open to any tab other than OmniGrowl after that (for more responsiveness while setting preferences).

S.M.A.R.T. checking can be turned off entirely.
Maintained compatibility with Tiger with framework weak-linking and other work-arounds.

Better timeout handling for notifications and during launch.
If Growl can't be found after 5 minutes or more OmniGrowl will always quit.

(However, error messages related to internet checking should no longer appear whether or not that option is on or off.)

When no connection is found and internet checking is on, an "offline" notification will be shown only once per launch.
Now gives an incompatibility notice with Panther rather than silently quitting.

Past last.fm events in most cases no longer generate notifications.
Work around for Leopard-Tiger cross compatibility issues involving Keychain Access [thanks Matt].

Other Leopard-related fixes.

Other under-the-hood tweaks
