ThinkSecret posts further details on the 10.2.4 upgrade that was expected last week:

Insiders said that 10.2.4 will include updates to OpenGL, QuickDraw, and Bluetooth, as well as a variety of video bug fixes, some of which will resolve issues with Keynote. Additionally, support will be improved for pre-bronze PowerBook G3 models. Issues with prebinding and copying large files with SMB have been fixed, and new printing tweaks should improve interfacing with Gimp-Print

ThinkSecret details other areas of improvment as well. Current seed is reportedly 6l20 which may possible become Gold Master.

Booya!

Anyway, I hope 10.2.4 fixes some of the issues that make my daily life a pain in the butt.
 
Sounds good

Now lets have it. [sort of off topic] On apples website you can see the new "Power of X" QuickTime stream (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/powerofx03/)
And in it some apple exec demonstrates what happens when quartz extreme is turned on and off by playing a Sheryl crow video and then dragging things around over it. While he is doing this he has a quartz extreme UI he is using to turn the offload to the VPU on and off. I don't see that app in my utilities, does it exist for Joe Q. public or am I just missing it? Thanks!

Ok, I'm probably just too lazy to find this out, but could someone please tell me what "Gold Master" is? People keep mentioning the 10.2.4 build becoming "Gold Master," but I never know what it means.

It means the release version of the update. In other words the finished product.
 
man, even XP SP1 never got this much attention, lol. it's funny how we are. when i had XP, i would run windows update every week or so, just to stay on top of things, but i never knew what to expect. now i find out about nearly every update to the operating system almost a month before it comes out, and i literally pine away waiting for it.

i hope this new driver helps my artificially slow radeon M9000 a little.

Ok thanks, that's what I was thinking.

I'm glad you were thinking along the right line. I've known a couple of others who thought 'Gold Master' was some sort of chinese warriors.

Usually it's Final Candidate 1, 2, 3... etc until Gold Master.

It's not in mine either, lol, which fits with what i have heard (i.e., you can't turn off QE and antialiasing and all that stuff w/o 3rd party software)... but i had no idea they had a cool little demo app to test it. i wonder if we can get that.
 
Waiting...

I cannot wait till the new iMacs....Im going to go insane! please god the them come out tomm. (Tue that is) its now about 1:30 am on Mon.

iChat Upgrade, am i the only one excited about that, i want it to become usable software so i can ditch this AOL crap. It needs a lot of work still. Any idea on a release date for it still looking at the 4th or did that get pushed back with the latest GM?

No, you're not the only one. I like iChat now, and some co-workers and I use it at work to trade files and chat over our local network (helpful when you consider that we are separated by five floors and that our firewall cuts us off from outside chat services.) However, I simply cannot understand why group discussions are not possible over a local network. If it's possible in iChat, I have not yet figured it out. I dislike having to keep multiple windows open for different chats. It would be nice to have a 'group room.'

Yeah, iChat is due for a major upgrade. I like it, but the underpinnings need a lot of work. It's not very compatible with the Windows AIM client (embarrassing to keep crashing when trying to send a file to a PC user because the iChat engine doesn't know how to talk to the client properly). Plus there are just so many AIM features missing from it... File Sharing (not transfer), voice chat (where's our MPEG-4 video chat, steve!?), custom user info, ICQ compatibility (win AIM beta has had this for months now). I really hope we don't have to wait for 10.3 for new iChat features, as there's really no other AIM clients out there that "think different" enough (at least to me, they all seem to be based on the same old concept, nothing innovative about them like iChat was. somebody please prove me wrong, though.)

If I remember right, that was Quartz Debugger. It's part of the Developers Tools.
 
iChat

An important feature to me is Logging. And i wish apple would rethink their interface for iChat, those speech bubbles are ugly as hell and dont reflect apples normal work. I hope that the revision to iChat is massive as it is an offten forgotten iApp and i dont even belive apple has a side page for it on their site. Its a great begining but needs much work. :D
 
Fixes need alright...

Maybe they can hold onto it for fixing video/audio in imovie 3.
Or would that be an exclusive fix for the app itself?
:confused:

I also agree with the post on some changes in ichat...
 
c'mon Apple!!! When are we gonna see a damn iChat update!!! This app is just important as any other app, I use this everyday! and it's missing so many features from the standard AIM... please I hope there's a big update for iChat soon!!! :mad:
 
G3 Powerbook Wallstreet

What kind of a powerbook enhancement are we looking at? little bit more graphic support maybe?

I don't have my iBook with me but I'm pretty sure there is a logging option to save chats, although the interface could use some work from what I remember. And I thought you could turn the speech bubbles off too.

There's plenty of things in iChat that need fixed and added, I hope the update comes soon...
