That's generally true but we (Snarl) had our own TCP-based protocol in place at the time and were working on support for Growl's UDP implementation. We proposed our implementation (SNP) and were quite strongly shouted down by the Growl team, hence we retreated to a safe distance. My personal take is that GNTP is still a rather bloated protocol, being based around a mime format rather than something more current such as XML. Since then Snarl's own protocol has developed significantly and will continue to with support for encryption and mDNS on the way. Anyhow, we still support Growl/UDP, GNTP and our own protocol. > > What is the current relationship between Growl and GfW ? > > Separate projects sharing a name. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
