According to MacRumors Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard build 10A432 reached GM status! Can't wait to see if it's true. :woot:

http://www.macrumors.com/2009/08/11/mac-os...ed-gold-master/

This is the build that was released a couple of weeks ago, right?

I also had thought that 10A432 was the latest build... strange!

Oh well, can't wait to see what's been fixed and everything, but the last build I tried was pretty damn stable!

For me, Snow Leopard goes like this :

I had about 100 things I didn't like about Leopard.

I have about 20 things left in Snow Leopard that I don't like.

These are small things of course, but still :)

So the update for $10 will be very nice for me!

Yeah, I just tried it, but it says 64 bit kernel incompatibility. Maybe your SL isn't running in 64 bit?

The release notes for Fusion 2.0.5 mention the following:

# Provides experimental support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server as a guest operating system (32-bit only)

# Provides experimental support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as a host operating system (32-bit only)

Same goes for the private beta version.

I do hope Fusion will have some (beta) version that is 64 bit compatible because it will be most likely that Snow Leopard machines will be running in 64 bit mode.

Can't wait to get this in my hands! Wish the preorders were available in Canada, though :(

Although I've gotta say, there's not the high level of excitement that I had for Leopard. That was a big OS update... this isn't so much. But tSL also only costs $29...

I just hope Apple really has something up their sleeve for 10.7. I'll probably get a higher level of excitement when I get the final list of new features on my screen, but right now I'm just not that excited.

Does it mean everyone testing Snow Leopard that gave feedback in the last few pages of this thread now have access to the Golden Master of Snow Leopard through Software Update?

I'm asking because I'm upgrading my MacBook, so it's being sold and I had to format the whole thing and reinstall a stable version of OS X along with a few apps. So no more Snow Leopard for me.

I don't dislike them, but they need to be modernized a bit. Give them a fresh look. I mean we have been stuck with basically the same damn things for ages now. Since day one I replaced them with Aqua Extreme, which looks much more polished.

It used to be a whole theme on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and below intended as a fix for everything Apple did "wrong" with Aqua. However on Leopard I only applied the scroll and progress bars. I haven't changed the title bar (Close/Minimize/Zoom) widgets. So the ones you're seeing in the screen shots are the system's defaults.

Am I the only one that likes the little aqua bits? :laugh:

Count me in too. While they might be dated it is nice to see them. They add some flavor to the gui and definitely stand out.

Btw, anyone else see one of the Adobe dev blogs. CS5 will drop PPC support, drop Carbon for Cocoa and go 64 bit native. mmm after seeing what Apple did when they did the same things I'm dying to see what CS5 will bring. I'm very anxious for it now.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
