rathalos Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi dude, jus saw this at macscoop today... according to their inside sources, the roadmap was revised a little and the final candidate has been pushed to next week, but the final release date remains unchanged... Sources recently provided MacScoop a follow-up on the development of Mac OS X Leopard. The news is pretty reassuring, as Apple's development team dedicated to the next major version of the company's operating system appears to be on track for a release on mid to late October. However, there is a little update on the roadmap we obtained in June as developers should now expect the Final Candidate build to arrive by next week or the week after. As a result, the road to the Golden Master build gets way shorter than we first expected. Once the Final Candidate build is released, a testing period of two to three weeks will let the company's development team bring a Golden Master build which will be duplicated and packaged for release by the end of October. Apple has officially stated that Mac OS X Leopard would be released during the month of October. Initially planned during the first half of this year, the development was subject of delay due to a focus of Apple's workforce on the release of the iPhone.

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 So, it sounds like it could be a half-assed release? Erm, let me rephrase half-assed. Could the initial release of Leopard be buggy, per-se? It seems like Leopard is #2 on Apple's list these days.

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 what are you basing this statement on? Have you used the latest build? I'm slowly downloading the latest build, but even our own Leopard forum has many-a-complaints regarding the instability or the incompatibility of Leopard on their macs. Mind you, not all are regarding the latest build. Not saying that this will be true for the official release, but Leopard's release date is just shy of a month away, and there has seemed to be more negative than good in terms of stability and usablility.

Unfortunately, that has almost always been the case with new releases of OS X. There are always a few 3rd party apps that just don't work right and have to be updated.
