We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.2.2, with one of the most exciting new features being support for Push Notifications to mobile devices. Push Notifications are instant alerts that can be displayed on your mobile device via an app running on the device. Four apps are currently supported covered the three primary smart phone platforms.

• NMA – Notify My Android (Google Android phones and tablets)
• Prowl (Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad)
• Push – App Notifications (Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad)
• Toasty (Windows Phone)

Another new feature in this release is support for GrowlForWindows, which allows you to forward the health alerts from your Windows Home Server to GrowlForWindows running either on the server or on another PC on the network. By default it will display popup messages on the desktop wherever it is installed, however it is most useful for utilizing the available GrowlForWindows Plugins to forward the notifications to services not directly supported by Remote Notification.

Finally, the HTML format Daily Reports now have the option to include Google Image Charts displaying the server statistics in a friendly image format. If you don’t like the charts they can be disabled in the Reports Settings.

• Learn how to upgrade Remote Notification on your server
• Learn how to configure a new Push recipient
• Learn how to configure a new GrowlForWindows recipient

Those of you that are already using Remote Notification should receive an Update alert in Remote Notification within the next 24 hours. We recommend that you always upgrade to the latest version. Below is a full list of changes in the new release, and you can download the latest version here.
