What's new in this version:
* Major re-write of significant code portions.
* Optimized speed and performance in several areas.
* Now uses the Leopard Calendar Store on Leopard!
* This means iCal no longer needs to be open on Leopard, and OmniGrowl is much faster.
* Complete re-design of RSS settings which allow for a much higher level of customization.
* Individual RSS feeds can be temporarily disabled, can include short descriptions, can include images, etc.
* The total number of RSS feeds is now unlimited.
* RSS instant headline checks are staggered, so no more than 3 are checked at once, improving performance.
* Included a few other default RSS feeds as suggestions.
* Clickable notifications implemented!
* Added (optionally) clickable events and to-dos.
* RSS feed notifications (Hourly Headlines and Instant) are (optionally) clickable.
* Woot, MacZot, and OED, and Yahoo Traffic, and AMG Bio notifications are (optionally) clickable.
* Included To-Do today (after 06:00) notification in with the To-Do tomorrow notification and renamed to "To-Do"
* Major interface redesign with a new Info tab and better layout.
* Really, truly made failed hacker attempt notification work properly.
* Added Hacker Attempt template script to further process the IPs of hackers.
* Introduced faster way to report iTunes track changes, sacrificing (optionally) artwork, etc.
* iTunes checks are not triggered if screen saver is active as it was before, thus possibly addressing sleep issues.
* iTunes (ā€œfullā€) notification now skips displaying rating for non-rated tracks.
* Vastly improved AMG Bio speed, handling and timing.
* AMG Bio displays images if found.
* AMG Bio notifications can be set to adjustable minimum minutes apart.
* Reset password if decryption fails with notifications to re-enter.
* Fixed broken "Find Location ID" link on the news tab.
* Re-wrote good portions of the documentation.
* Broke up the documentation into sections as it was growing too long.
* OED notification formatting clean-up.
* Added birthday cake icon for birthdays.
* Added way to customize birthday cake and horoscope graphics.
* Added several new tests for iCal and Address Book events, to-dos, and birthdays.
* Added status output for the test window.
* 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).
* OmniGrowl no longer even asks if you want to add it to login items at startup, since the ā€œAdd to Loginā€ button is obvious enough.
* S.M.A.R.T. checking can be turned off entirely.
* Maintained compatibility with Tiger with framework weak-linking and other work-arounds.
