yay! can't wait til panther

mmmbop · Sep 22, 2003, 05:17 PM

Jagwire's swansong?

And I was hoping to see Panther appear in my Mac OS X Software Update panel

Rower_CPU · Sep 22, 2003, 05:20 PM

OK, what happened to 10.2.7?

Also, I haven't seen yet if this addresses the SSH vulnerability found a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know for sure?

kainjow · Sep 22, 2003, 05:23 PM

10.2.8 includes 10.2.7

Hmm, the link displays:

I just used the link out of the software update window...!?!?

I concur - maybe they unreleased it.

Rower_CPU · Sep 22, 2003, 05:29 PM

Works for me:

Hmm, I wonder what they fixed in Safari.

evilbert420 · Sep 22, 2003, 05:31 PM

So this would imply that 10.2.7 was a G5-only build? And that maybe 10.2.9 may bring back the code to a common build? Or will we have to wait for Panther for common code?

madrobby · Sep 22, 2003, 05:31 PM

Also, my download window seem to be stalled... Bar goes nowhere the last 5 minutes...

arn · Sep 22, 2003, 05:32 PM

Strangely, some people are having trouble loading the knowledge base article. here are the list of enhancements

madrobby · 05:40 PM

Bluetooth enhancements? Maybe the next iSync release is really not so far away then...

Hope my Symbian-based Nokia syncs with iCal soon...

UPDATE: The knowledge base link works now for me, thx for the info arn.

Not available from the downloads page - what if you're behind a firewall? Software Update hasn't worked from inside our corporate firewall in like, forever.

Yeah really, I think 10.2.7 is the best Update since 10.2 from 10.1

No.

No no no no no .

I don't have a G5 and I am running 10.2.7

It is really stable IMO, and I haven't seen 10.2.8 as stable...

That is strange. I couldn't link to it from the above link. Although I got to the page by navigating through the apple site.

Now to sit back and read about what happens when one updates to 10.2.8.

seamuskrat · Sep 22, 2003, 05:46 PM

No sign os a 10.2.8 server update in SUCP yet. I am not even sure of they are working on a 'server' variant of this update, but they always have in the past.

cc bcc · Sep 22, 2003, 05:47 PM

won't install on the G5

dcbendi · Sep 22, 2003, 05:48 PM

I got one of those shiny new Aluminum Powerbooks and I have 10.2.7. *shrug*

dswoodley · Sep 22, 2003, 05:48 PM

not impressed...on the whole everything is slower.

Macmaniac · Sep 22, 2003, 05:49 PM

I installed it, everythings running fine

Now if only I could have patches contain game enhancements that would be sweet!

skymaXimus · 05:52 PM

new keyboard and mouse icon, new for x.2 anyway.
Also, I can no long minimize in place, i have to minimize to the dock.

FattyMembrane · 05:52 PM

safari is at version 85.5 and installing it over the smoothstripes theme has not caused any problems so far.

it could just be my imagination, but it feels just the tiniest bit snappier on my imacG3.

EDIT: also, there's now a bluetooth tab in the keyboard/mouse prefpane, regardless of whether or not you have a bluetooth mouse.
