Growl friends with Notification Center in OS X and learned to broadcast notifications on iOS

After the release of OS X Mountain Lion notification service known Growl kind of like was out of work. Indeed, in the new OS had his own system notifications, and visually, in my humble opinion, is much more interesting than the aforementioned. But the problem is that the "Notification Center» OS X (Notification Center) is still very young and few of its program of support, and Growl have a long history and lots of compatible software. Wanting to somehow improve operation of OS X 10.8, and more closely involve its new features, people turned to alternatives such as Hiss. But this is a half-measure and can forget about these, because left Growl 2.0.

Among the important innovations is to provide full compatibility with the notification center OS X and sync with iOS-notification services via Prowl and Boxcar. But first things first.

Regarding support for Notification Center, you can personally determine whether the notification published by or through Growl notifications Center OS X. This must be done after installing the new version of the program in its settings.

Thus, any Growl support program will automatically receive support and Notification Center. The only condition - is the use of third-party developers of Growl 2.0 API. According to the creators of the service, the transition to the new API is not difficult.

In addition, the new support services for iOS notifications through Prowl and Boxcar. They are configured in the system Growl.

For those who bought earlier Growl Mac App Store, the update to version 2.0 for free. Newcomers also have to pay for the application $ 4.
