Tiger is at RC1


Recommended Posts

Well am I the only one who doesn't feel too excited over Tiger? I mean when Jaguar came out I remember (builds being leaked) and it just being the coolest thing ever coming out. Same thing with Panther. And now its Tiger, (not much leaks tho thats just a minor thing) basically we'll be seeing Panther, with a search box and a dashboard of things most of us will never use?

Tiger is a much bigger update than Jag or Panther.

Spotlight is not just a search box, it can be updated by developers with plugins and incorperated into applications. It also allows Smartfolders in the filesystem.

Dashboard will only get better over time. Once Tiger is released we'll start to see all kinds of widgets come out. Some useful, some not.

Automator will allow anyone to use AppleScript which is fantastic, and again is something that developers can add more functionality to with plug-ins.

There's also a new kernel that has been further optomized, improved Open GL, CoreImage, Quartx 2D Extreme, etc. We'll also get a faster version of Safari. There's also tons of little improvments like a built in PDF viewer in Safari, burnable folders in The Finder, PDF bookmarking in Preview, an updated Quicktime.

The coolest thing about Tiger is seeing what good developers can do with what Apple has provided.

Agreed 100%. I think Tiger is massive. Panther was so-so for me at best. Most of the additions were underneath. Tiger has huge additions on top and under.

Jaguar was easily the largest to date, but I think Tiger will be right up there.

I don't so a lot of gaming on OS X, but Tiger is supposed to considerably increase framerates over Panther

    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
