Colonel Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 It seems that Apple has seeded two new builds of its next version of Mac OS X, Leopard, to developers: Build 9A343 for clients and build 9A344 for servers. The builds are available to Apple Developer Connection Select and Premier members. Apple gives us the following description on the build: Known Issues: - Installing and running localized languages is not recommended at this time - MacBuddy may not run after installation. Rebooting will launch MacBuddy - Using the 'Open' command may cause longer opening times - NFS mounted files cannot be accessed - iSync's plug-in maker requires CFBundleIdentifiers to be unique per plugin to avoid corruption when multiple plug-ins are installed - Heavy paging may result in zeros being written to the address space - User cannot copy text from applications launched via SSH - Disconnecting from your network while connected to servers may hang your machine - Syncing calendars through iSync does not work at this time - A system panic may occur with ATI cards while running QuickTime Player with iChat and Preview - 'Add Printer' dialog appears behind frontmost windows - QuickLook's full screen mode may not quit in certain situations - Unable to restore from Time Machine backups created in MacBuddy - Application Launch Restrictions in Parental Controls not being enforced at this time - User cannot install the Adobe Suite - Cannot enable accounts for Windows Sharing - Finder may quit in certain situations when using the Cmd-Tab keys - Terminal: Ctrl-Space does not send any data to the shell which may cause issues with the mark in Emacs - Terminal: Performance with millions of lines of text is currently limited - Upgrades from the WWDC Developer Seed are not supported - Upgrades from previous releases are not recommended Changes in Leopard Since 9A321 - HIToolbox provides new HIRect/Point/Shape-based Window Manager API for resolution independence compatibility Terminal: Settings are now stored in Terminal "Profiles" rather than .term files. There are two ways old .term settings are migrated to the new Terminal: - Automatic import of default .term file and terminal settings at the first launch - Importing of arbitrary .term files other than your default one After migrating settings a new Terminal window will open and you should save the window settings as new profiles using Shell->Save Profile - Tab support - Terminal now lets you save a multi-window configurations through workspaces which are available through the "Terminal" menu. QuickLook - QuickLook APIs have been updated - quicklookd can be used to test your QuickLook generators. Use "quicklookd -h" to see the list of options. Thanks to Adrian Fogge for letting us know in this thread.

mk14 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 - MacBuddy may not run after installation. Rebooting will launch MacBuddy[...] - Unable to restore from Time Machine backups created in MacBuddy What is MacBuddy? Did I miss something? From this list, it seems like MacBuddy is the new Setup Assistant.

Forky Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Looks to me that Leopard still has lots of bugs to cover. Will it really be out in march?

BreakTheChains Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'm positive that it will be out soon. Apple will get this stuff ironed out quickly and we will finally get our new OS. Even if they take longer than expected they can probably just issue a patch.

erbic Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Nope. Then I don't see it as worth downloading. Last build of Leopard I torrented (9A321 or around there) didn't come across as anything special, and fuxored my partitions when I tried to remove it. Had to image my Tiger partition then restore it because I couldn't get diskutil resizeVolume to work. Only reason I'd consider pirating testing a prerelease build of Leopard is if it includes the new GUI.

bluedragon1971 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I see it on bay now, but I'm not gonna waste my time on it. Not being able to enable Windows sharing kills this build for me.
