Those of you hot to trot to grab Tiger, may want to wait a bit...
Couple of things.
It turns out Tiger isn't quite as bug free as everyone thought. They've
redone the WebKit (yet again;-( ) and altBrowser will NOT work 100%
correctly now. We're working on an update which will fix this. Also,
altSQLite has yet to be tested fully on Tiger.
Tiger is shipping with a 'just released' compiler, which by all reports
has it's own issues as well. Also, the new compiler won't compile apps
for OSX 2.8 and below w/out major headaches and lot's of test cycles. Of
course Apple didn't tell us they would be obsoleting Jaguar so soon. Or
if they did, I missed the message (sorry, Jan!)
Also, I've found some Applescript isn't working correctly either, and
need to do further testing to figure out why. And in other news..
