[outdata326]

Just uninstalled 4.0 because I could not get System Prefs to let me change my screen saver, kept quitting . And the SS would not start. Uninstalled to see if that would fix it and it worked anyone else want to verify this I am using Leopard 10.5.4 all updates.

well, I'm running the Developer preview 5526.11.2 which i wanted to try out, and basically forgot about, as I HAVE been using it as my primary browser, and have had virtually no problems at all. Seems to be as stable as the last v3 version for me.

same here.
running the 4 Developer Preview 526.12.2 no issues, basically forgot about it and I HAVE been using it as my alternate browser, and have had no problems at all.

Any idea when we might see Mac OS 10.5.5 to be released?

Any idea when we might see Mac OS 10.5.5 to be released?

I'd venture to guess sometime in September.

Any idea when we might see Mac OS 10.5.5 to be released?

Maybe released concurrently with new Macs at the supposed event on the 9th of September?

the option for opening in 64 bit mode is gone for both the safari app and for any web apps. weird..

Given that there are no 64bit plugins, its a pretty much pointless 'feature'.

Maybe by the time Snow Leopard comes out there will be a 64bit flash plugin + others.

Still, who uses iCal? I use Google Calendar now....

I use both You can integrate Google Calendar with iCal by going to the Calendar Settings and Selecting the "iCal" URL (see image below)

Kind of sucks how this build is less stable than the original Safari 4 DP1 build. Perhaps turning off QuartzGL support for Safari will help (I have it enabled system-wide, but one can add a 'Disable For This App' flag to the info.plist of any app). However, Safari uses more text than any other app, so it would be nice if it worked with QuartzGL. Sad to see that Apple just gave up on QuartzGL--it could have been cool.

They haven't given up on it. It is down to the developer of the application to decide whether to enable it for their application or not rather than making it a system wide setting. Which, in my opinion, is the intelligent way of doing it.

Hmmm Mail.app crashes all the time after I installed the new safari developer preview. Uninstalled and everything is fine now.

 

[Darkroom]

i can't watch the new iPhone ads (no big deal) on apple's very own website because Safari will always crash... now that's what i call a problem...

 

[Riemann Zeta]

Well, I added a "QuartzGLEnable = NO" flag to the Info.plist of the new Safari and it seems less crashy when scrolling. This way I can keep QGL enabled on my machine but still use the new build. It is odd that the old build seemed to have no problems with QGL--I never touched the Info.plist file.

Hah! Yeah right!

I don't know what problem you're having with the program, but ical is the single most neglected major application in Apple's software lineup. So whatever issue you're having with it, I wouldn't pin my hopes on it getting fixed by an update. Personally I don't recall ever encountering bugs in ical, but I can tell you that ever since ical first came out I've been waiting for ical to get some absolutely basic functions added, such as being able to move more than one event at a time. Such a basic simple function! Yet ical doesn't have it!

You're right. iCal is, without a doubt, the worst application Apple makes. Steve clearly never uses it. Hell, Apple didn't use it internally until this version.

I hope that with Apple getting serious about competing with exchange/blackberry, iphone in the enterprise, etc., we will finally see a calendar program from Apple that doesn't have the functionality of something from 1991.

But, I am not optimistic. I have been waiting since 10.2.0 for an iCal which didn't suck. And, through the years, iCal has continued to suck, and suck badly.
