Mac OS 10.4.8 Imminent?

[Yannick]

update pace for Tiger

I checked the update pace for Mac OS X 10.4.
29/04/2005: 10.4.0
17/05/2005: 10.4.1 (+ 18 days)
12/07/2005: 10.4.2 (+ 56 days)
31/10/2005: 10.4.3 (+ 111 days)
11/01/2006: 10.4.4 (+ 72 days)
14/02/2006: 10.4.5 (+ 34 days)
03/04/2006: 10.4.6 (+ 48 days)
27/06/2006: 10.4.7 (+ 85 days)
27/09/2006 (today) + 92 days

Soon we'll have 10.4.8, and then probably around 3 months later 10.4.9 (January?). I doubt Apple will release 10.4.10, they could but I don't think they ever did it with another OS.

I thought first that it could mean that Leopard would be early, but I don't think so (spring 2007 is March 21 - June 21).

Hopefully the next update will resolve some rather annoying bugs. The one that irritates me to no limit is the bug of moving directories off the desktop into other directories.

As soon as I do, all my icons are thrown about on the desktop. Gawd its annoying.

It will be released this week to tie in with the Aperture 1.5 update, which I believe requires 10.4.8 (if only for updated RAW support).

I'm such a geek for this kind of trivia! Thanks!!!

Bring on the update!

Bring on the Leopard!

Yep, sounds good. I likes me some OS updates.

Rack up another one (10.4.9) in December followed by another just before Leopard (10.4.10) and I reckon we'd be done.

No, no, no! Don't you know, after 10.4.9 Apple has run out of numbers! It'd have to be 10.5.0!




Couldn't resist...sorry!

You're right, whatever will they doooooo??????

Insert InvisiText™ Disclaimer that I know 10.4.10 does not equal 10.5.0 here.

Dooooooooooooooommmmmmm!!!!!

RAW handling in OSX is done by the operating system, so updates to RAW support imply updates to OSX as well.

 

[displaced]

Dooooooooooooooommmmmmm!!!!!

Never fear. Apple will invent a new number, complete with a new character. 10.4.9 will include updates to all system font files and keyboard layouts containing this new symbol.

Now that's innovation.

They Can Aways Resort To 10.4.9.1, 10.4.9.2 Etc.

I love updates. Hard to say quite way, but any improvements are welcome

Oh noes! The dreaded off-topic discussion on numbering schemes that pops up after each os update.

My EOS 400D works fine (in tethered mode as well as just transfering from the memory card)?

When did it come out? I was looking for it on Google but couldn't find aything but early reviews. Any links/directions ??

 

[bilbo--baggins]

All I need to know is whether it will update iSync to support the Sony Ericsson M600i...

 

[longofest]

I expect that 10.4.8 will be required for Aperture 1.5 (as OS updates are normally required to add RAW support for new cameras). A post on another forum (arstechnicas iirc) by someone who was at Photokina and had talked to someone from Apple said that Aperture 1.5 was scheduled to be available for download at the end of the show (October 1st)...

Aperture 1.5 lists 10.4.7 as the minimum requirement

Ya, who says they won't use hex? Although if they have been using hex all this time it would have been OS A instead of OS 10

Lucky you.
5D, not so much.

I wonder if Rosetta was handicapped during the transition period so people would still purchase the remaining exciting PowerPC products.

Funny, I really haven't noticed any bad slowdowns in any of the software I use on my Mac Pro (could be it was such a huge upgrade for me tho .

 

[topgunn]

I think you probably should have gotten a machine with a graphics card if you wanted to play 3d games.

bdj21ya, meet sarcasm. Sarcasm, bdj21ya.

Apple has periods in which they allow people to apply for AppleSeed accounts. The purpose is to help them test their OS updates and releases in environments they are not able to replicate themselves. To this end I am not sure how your friend can 'get' you a seed account, legitimately. if you go the AppleSeed page you are generally greeted with the message

"We are not seeking new participants. You must have an invitation in order to log in."

That being said, anything relating to the seeds you would download are covered by NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and are legally binding. So your answer would be you cannot, legally, talk about those issues in any other forum then the one they provide.

The Select and Premier account levels allow the principle owner to give out Seed access to any ADC member. That means if you have a free account, and I'm a Premier member, I could give you seed access.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago in Japan (so mine's actually a Kiss Digital X). It was released 1 day before I bought mine. Jessops etc seem to have them in stock. I've not seen a full review yet. dpreview have a preview, the review should be out soonish...

I think this is sort of true in Aperture but not 100% true. Aperture has it's own RAW decoders (1.0 and 1.1 versions) which are separate from the system and run in Core Image. I believe that it relies on the system support for colour profile data only...
