-----------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Upgrades from the WWDC Developer Seed are not supported
- Upgrades from previous releases are not recommended
- When installing on a PPC system with 256MB RAM, only Erase Installs will
succeed
-Migrating your user during installation sometimes hangs, but the Migration
Assistant will still allow you to migrate your data
- Ethernet & Airport connections sometimes toggle between active/inactive.
Rebooting should correct this.
- Some characters are truncated or missing when scrolling in applications
like Xcode, Mail & Safari
- OpenGL won't run under Rosetta
- Resizing or panning a WebClip widget removes the editing border, but
closing and re-opening Dashboard brings it back
- Booting verbosely may result in a panic
- Unable to build a debug kernel
- Application updaters report success when actually failing
- To-Dos cannot be created through iCal's APIs
- Drop boxes will be world-readable because ACL's are not overriding posix
permissions on files
- X11 crashes while idle

Time Machine
- Any volumes being used as backup destinations should be reformatted
- Restoring may be broken for some users, though backing up still preserves
all user data

Mail:
- Messages sometimes wrap text at character boundaries instead of word
boundaries
- Occasional hangs after hitting Cmd-Quote when composing messages
- Occasional Mail & SyncServer crashes when tracking RSS feeds

QuickTime:
- QuickTime movies open at the wrong aspect ratio and appear stretched.
Use Cmd-1 to resize the movie to the correct size and ratio.
- Flash support inside of QuickTime movie files is disabled by default,
but can be re-enabled in the QuickTime Preferences/Advanced tab
- "Export to iPod" will export at the new, larger size, but at the wrong
data rate. Quality of the exported file is poor.

think all us leopard people should be expecting the updater to run soon?

[xfsasx]

how long before you think its seeded to tpb or tspy?

[asap18]

waiting anxiously for the seed to a tracker

[xfsasx]

Damn you guys are quick. I just got the ADC notification.

[Ranger]

Interesting build! Can't wait to try it!

[cmaus@mac.com]

Does such a download link from the ADC Select/Premium-Accounts work for others?

[other]

Nope, links are limited to account. :/

Ditto, but I'm not upgrading until I hear it works totally with the MacBooks-headphone jack, anyone?

Also, I want Pages fixed.

The interesting thing is that the .dmg file is now larger than 4 GB, so anyone wanting to put it up on a Web server for their friends is faced with two issues - whether or not their Web server supports file sizes over 32 bits (Hint: The Mac OS X 10.4.8 version of Apache doesn't) and they also have to have a Web browser client that does as well (recent versions of cURL and wget do, on the command-line side). Of course none of this matters to you nasty little Bit Torrent monkeys now does it?

you could probably edit the .dmg and get rid of the developers tools (unless you are a developer for which this version is intended, in which case you would want them...). that would cut down on the 4 gb.

True, and since my group at work have a Select ADC membership (I downloaded 9A283 from connect yesterday), yes I do want the Developer Tools

What's funny is that the reason why I realized this is because I downloaded it to work where my wheezing old MDD doesn't have a dual-layer burner (it's got an old Pioneer DVD-104) and I don't even have any dual-layer discs here to burn a copy with on some other work machine that does have one. So it's either SneakerNet with a dual-layer blank disc or else try something like Timbuktu Pro 8.6 to download it to my home (where I do have a dual-layer blank) to try it out on my old PowerBook. Made me think how this might be a problem for others as well ...

[bwhsh8r]

Have they gotten any more strict on who uses it, is using it, and/or updating/installing?

[grabberslasher]

This is just a picture I've been passed on, so I thought I'd post it here. Didn't take it myself, so I can't answer any questions.

New iCal UI:

[cyclonefr]

[Numberzz]

[cmaus@mac.com]

Please PM me for a link too!

[MOIKAI]
