Apple Releases Lion Developer Preview 3 and Xcode 4.1 Preview 5

Wouldn't Apple ban people from putting these screenshots and stuff out for the public to see?
Either way, whoever released them rules.
I just want this OS to come out already.

Uh, it's ridiculously easy to download this and try it for yourself.

You're kind of a jerk. In your bid to sound better than the other poster, you are giving dangerous advice. I use the terminal often, but using those commands is difficult without knowing how they work and potentially dangerous.

Not dangerous at all unless you add sudo to that statement.
 
I'm not sure about this being in past builds but I've just noticed that OpenGL Extensions Viewer now shows full 3.2 support after changing the renderer to the "Forward Context" option.

Sorry, in my previous post I included a screenshot of the extensions viewer before the change. Here's a picture of after.

Safari on DP3 is pretty much unusable.

Refreshing pages when using tabs leads to pages not appearing to refresh, but if you click on another tab then click on the tab for the page you originally refreshed, the content appears.

Also, pages that do manage to refresh or load new content sometimes only partially load pages. Safari is definitely buggier than DP2.

Yeap, they have balls not to do a lot of useful stuff.

Oh, so you want to start a game called "throw a stone in a garden"? Really?

iBug2 said:
What's that supposed to mean? Why does it take "balls" not to add it? Why did they add copy/paste in Finder then? Wouldn't it take the same balls not to add it as well? Or didn't they have the balls back then?

It means exactly what i wrote.

I have a developer account and I’m running Lion Developer Preview 2, I’ve recently had an iPhoto update and a Java update but no DP3 is showing up. Anybody else had the same problem? Anybody find a way of dealing with it?

You're probably running DP2 Server?

It seems that if you have the server "additions" installed on DP2 (11A444d) the new DP3 update doesn't show up in the Software Update.

Get news if Lion has improved Open GL support. :) Any chance you could load Portal 2 on your Mac and do some performance tests?

I certainly could. Running on my base 15" 2011 MacBook Pro using all settings on high with full aa and triple buffered vsync I get a constant 29-30 fps. This is about 10 fps higher than I got previously.
Any other testing you want me to do?
 
Not impressed with the new wallpapers. Personally, the only wallpaper I truly adore is the standard Aurora wallpaper.

Not eager to test full screen in Safari; if you didn't know already, Firefox already has this option, and it works pretty well.

I'm looking forward to the new Finder, and the entire interface in general.

Great stuff, thanks :D

Personally, this is the sort of news I what to hear. I'm not bothered about wallpapers or a new login screen, just a long as Apple have improved OS X performance I'm happy (oh, and multi-language updates are important too).
 
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to have windows side-by-side in full-screen Safari?

I mean, what is the point of full-screen browser if it's still 1 window at a time on a 27" screen? I mean, certainly great for some websites, but how nice it would be to have, say, gmail and some blog side by side. Or (crazy) even give us an option to make it 1 window, 2 side-by-side windows, 3 windows (1 on the left, two split on the right)?

And no, snap to click is not better, since it's not a true full-screen.

If it's not available, can someone be super nice and send it to Apple as a feedback please?

Thanks.

You don't need to. I often move files using only 1 Finder window.

Seriously, Cut & Paste is over-rated anyhow. Use bash's auto-complete in the terminal. Much faster than navigating to the folder.

I don't really miss cut and paste in OS X but suggesting someone to use bash in terminal is ridiculous especially since everything in OS X is so visual. Most people don't even know what Terminal is let alone how to use it.

? I was running DP2 with the server additions and DP3 appeared in Software Update. I'm now running DP3.

I have used the TERMINAL. I work on SunOS and I don't know about the GUI.

But there is a reason, these windows managers and these GUI's were designed.

99% or close to 100% of the people would NOT be using a terminal. Why?
Because they have a life.

You imply that to fullfill every single task, one has to read some documentation; or do some research. That's why these OS's were made to simplify tasks for the humans.

Yes you can do wonders with the terminal.

Using diff <a> <b>, you can difference even binaries that you cannot do in some softwares or in the finder but that's not the point.

Using terminal is in itself a task whereas using a finder is not.

As far as your last line is concerned, people make mistakes. Using man OR any other help utility describes the process but does NOT nullify the possible occurence of an ERROR. There is a reason the companies spend hundreds and thousands of $$$ to license version control systems[ClearCase, etc] and use RAID snapshots, in case...

That's why I said: "Learn to use...", instead of "play around".

I quite like the new login screen although it looks like the windows 7 login screen:apple:

Cupertino - start your photocopiers! :eek:

Seriously though, considering what's important for a login screen, one should not be surprised if different operating systems have similar login screens.
