Fixed a nagging bug
I fixed a nagging bug last night w/ the friendship dialog. It turns out it was behaving differently based on whether you visited it from the “got to user” dialog, or if you clicked an avatar, or if you clicked a name. Fixed in master.
I also began experimenting with notifications on Mac. As always, I’m going to get it working on Mac first before I venture onto other platforms. Linux will likely be next. I might not even get to Windows before the next release. I’m not sure how I’m going to do Windows notifications yet… I’ll probably require WIndows users to install Growl, which is kind of a drag, but I can’t come up with a more “native” way to do it just yet. For all three OSes, I basically need a way to send a pop-up “toaster” notification from the command line.
Anyway – back to the salt mines! Tweet on…

Hi… command line would be not posssible in Windows. How about a scripting solution and then use the cscript program. See this http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scripting/myalerts.aspx

“I’ll probably require Windows users to install Growl, which is kind of a drag” huh? I had to install growl on the mac, so skype could use it(though I’m not a big mac user). The only difference between mac and windows/linux, as far as I can tell, is that on mac there is only a single notification system, but there is at least two per platform on the others(snarl, growl for windows, lib-notify and knotification). Of the windows variants, I like gfw best.
