Tiger problems...

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..
