New to this Release:
New Plugins

*Firefox and Thunderbird plugins require a DBus extension. Please see the extras page for more information.
Theme Support

mumbles-send script
- mumbles-send is a script included with mumbles that allows sending of custom notifications. See the download page for an example of how to use mumbles-send.
Growl Network Notification Support
- When started with Growl Network Notification support, mumbles can receive notifications over the network using the Growl network protocol. mumbles-send can also send Growl network notifications. Use mumbles with your Mac, or just send notifications to another computer running mumbles with Growl Network Notifications enabled. See the Growl section of the mumbles preferences pane or run ‘mumbles –help’ (or ‘mumbles-send –help’) for information about enabling and configuring Growl Network Notification support.
Daemon mode
- Want to just run mumbles in the background without a panel applet? Run ‘mumbles -d’ to start in deamon mode.
Click Handling
- mumbles now supports click handling. Right clicks close the notification and the Firefox plugin opens the downloaded file on left click.
