Mac OS X 10.5.6 börjat testas

Redan en lista på "6 dussin" fixar. Allt från de största delarna ned till Kalkylatorn. Byggnr 9G21 och 350MB stor.

Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G21) to Developers

Står väl tvärtom att den funktionen saknas i betan. Har du länk till vart du såg det. Stämmer det är det ju bra nyheter, låter tyvärr inte som Apple dock.

Varför, förklara.

OK, beror kanske på hur länge man varit med. Mapparna tex ser ju mer old school ut nu. Gamla Mac OS var ju mycket mer kantigt än Mac OS X var i början.
Jag tycker att Mac OS X 10.5 med sin kontrast blev snyggare på alla sätt och vis. Har i och för sig alltid hatat brushed metal. Kommer ihåg när det kom i och med Quicktime 4.
Samtidigt som den lilla klick Aqua som finns kvar sticker ut och verkligen borde tas bort för att skapa ett mer enhetligt utseende.

Håller med dig till fullo. Pre-Mac OS X var Mac OS ett användarvänligt operativsystem som stod på en hög av sk*t enligt mig.

Mapparna, ja men jag har hängt med mycket längre än så.

Focus Areas with Additional Information

MobileMe / Syncing:

Please help test MobileMe automatic syncing. We are particularly interested in testing automatic sync on portable computers and on networks with medium to high latency and or constrained bandwidth. Please include the ~/Library/Logs/Sync/dotmacsync.log with any radars you file.

If you are working behind a firewall (ie. corporate proxy), we would like to know your experience with the syncing. If you have auto sync turned on, and you make a change from me.com, or MobileMe website, does that change sync within a reasonable amount of time? Also attempt general syncing of Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks and other sync data. Please watch for excessive syncing and file radars for any abnormal syncs.

AFP:

The 10.5.6 release includes changes to improve Time Machine reliability in both the AFP Client and Server. The changes in the client will detect conditions that lead to corruption of a Time Machine backup disk image and eject the AFP volume before damage to the disk image occurs.

Mail:

We need people who send messages entirely in non Latin character sets, such as Hangul, Kotoeri, Traditional Chinese character sets. Including attachment names, punctuation, everything. We would also like to include those who send messages and enclosures in Latin character sets as well (French, German, Italian, etc). Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Arabic would be another good set of writing systems to extensively test.

Areas of Change
- Resolved issue with FileSync and FileSyncAgent

- Fixed issue with syslog and duplicate message suppression

- Fixed multitouch issue with Finder

- Resolved issue with USB disconnect warning dialog

- Fixed issue with notified syncs and dotmacsyncclient

- Fixed issue with System Preferences and MobileMe sync tab

- Issue with KeychainAccess and prompting of passwords resolved

Jag gillar att de testar mot tecken-buggar i Mail. MobileMe också men det använder jag inte..

Ska tydligen vara en hel del grafiksaker som är fixade i den här versionen.

Får vi väl hoppas på. Fast med 10.5.5 så kom det flera versioner med den texten innan släppet verkligen kom.

Tillägg: Tydligen bara en vecka så den kan komma när som helst.

Nu ligger det Mac OS X 10.5.4 i. En 1.5cm x 1.5cm grön lapp på framsidan av kartongen.
