we need to put together a documentation page describing the deprecation of 
'icon from location' and how to fix their applescripts

Sounds like I won't be able to download album-art and show a notification with 
it anymore in the future? Or is this 'just' about making sure you supply an 
alias in your applescript?

'icon from location' is being deprecated, any usage of it with Growl 2.0.1 will 
default to a standard icon (AppleScript Editor.app's icon).  We will accept 
direct, raw image data via the image argument of notify.  

A quick sample script of grabbing a unix file path into a tiff image acceptable 
to sending to growl:
on get_image(imgPath)
    set imgfd to open for access POSIX file imgPath
    set img to read imgfd as "TIFF"
    close access imgfd
    return img
end get_image

usage:
set noteImage to get_image("/Path/To/Image.jpg")

tell application "Growl"
notify with application name "TestImage" name "Hello" title "testing" 
description "Image from a file path" image noteImage
end tell
