2.6 Alpha 4 Released
Snarl 2.6 Alpha 4 is now available from SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/snarlwin/files/Snarl/Current%20Beta/). Changes and improvements are as follows:
o NEW: Included new Snarl Framework 2.6 library.
o NEW: Included slightly revised Meter style engine which contains a slightly modified Corporate style (V1.1).
o FIXED: Removing items from the Notification Centre now removes them from the missed list.
o FIXED: Full-screen detection would sometimes incorrectly pick the Windows desktop as a full-screen app.
o FIXED: Numerous memory leaks to do with storing icons in PNG format.
o NEW: Can now unload failed extensions via the Panel UI.
o FIXED: Crash which would occur when processing an invalid icon file.
o NEW: App-Cache icon folder is now under %APPDATA% rather than the program folder.
o FIXED: SNP2.0 human-readable result codes are now returned in uppercase as per the specification.
o NEW: GNTP transport handler now supports Snarl-specific header “X-Response-Redacted” which uses a GNTP boolean value. If this header is set to “True”, any GNTP response will exclude information about the computer and operating system in the response.
o NEW: GNTP transport handler now supports Snarl-specific header “X-Notification-Duration” which requires a GNTP integer value. If this header is provided, the value supplied will be used as the notification’s duration (in seconds).
o FIXED: The “Use same settings for all classes?” toggle in the Class Configuration panel was not setting its state correctly when the panel opens.
o NEW: Can now supply “log” value in <AddClass> request. Values can be either “0″ (which disables logging of notifications generates using the class) or “1″ (which enables logging). Default is “1″.
o NEW: Reinstated sending of SNARL_NOTIFY_INVOKED event when no dynamic callback is assigned to ensure backwards compatability with applications is maintained.

It was pointed out that SourceForge itself still directs users to the older 2.5 release rather than the funky up-to-date 2.5.1 edition. I’ve fixed it and, while I was doing so, noticed that the summary page was looking a bit tired and out of date so this has had a spruce up with the inclusion of some more recent screenshots. Check it all out at https://sourceforge.net/projects/snarlwin/

Hello, world!
And welcome to the new web site!
First off, I must say a big thank you to Sven for not only encouraging me to use WordPress, but for actually installing it, configuring it, and then having to deal with my incessant questioning and moaning when it wouldn’t do what I wanted it to do.
It’s been a steep learning curve but I’m beginning to get the hang of it, and content will appear on here over time as I get more used to how things work.
