Re: Panther 'Test' Software Update
I signed up for ADC Select on June 30th and haven't received anything. I've been expecting an updated Panther beta to become more widely available (all ADC seed participants), but nothing so far.
I'm not questioning this, but it is interesting to note that there's no Panther update available on the ADC download area. Of course, there's no Panther seed distribution yet, either.

Either way, this is a good sign that Apple cares about the developers to address such issues. They never did that for Jaguar.

Why would this be weird...they're testing the software update...

well - that would be difficult. They gave Panther to thousands (I think) of developers at WWDC. Which probably was intended to be installed at their home/work machines etc...
It's not like there's a registry.

So what, I'm sure Apple knows that everyone wants a copy!!!
And users are going to get a copy no matter what!!
It's good for everyone....
I'm not going to keep this beta forever, just until they release the Panther out of the cage.....then I'll bite it............

Re: Re: Panther 'Test' Software Update
I too am dismayed by the lack of a formal developer seeding. As of Wednesday (the last time I bothered to call), Apple has still not decided when ADC members with seeding keys will receive the developer preview of 10.3. Therefore, most 3rd part developers have yet to get their hands on Panther.
Kind of blows the whole 'final release in September' rumor out of the water, eh?

10.3 Seeding From Apple
I wrote to Apple asking about seeding (I'm an ADC Select member) and they confirmed that they would be seeding to developers not at the show.
They said that you'd need to be registered on June 23rd to qualify, and that I should watch out for the seeding email they send out.
I assume their email was not private - hopefully not away :-(

While not an ADC member, I see your arguments, and am quite shocked Apple haven't released it to you lot yet. It would be nice if they included Safari style bug reporting on a lot of things, aswell as the usual channels.
Right...the update:
New Mac OS X 10.3 build number is 7A202.
Unfortunately I did not check the Mail version before I updated.
What's more interesting is after restart (which took AGES), I was presented with this screen. Safari version is still the same. Ideas?

Everything feels better. Especially scrolling in Safari. Also an updated build.
Finder redraws are much faster, iPhoto is still a pig, but it is getting better.

The UI does, and XBench scores prove it (upto 49% speed increase), however other areas currently show a (significant) drop, and playing games proves this. But the dock is soooo much smoother, and Safari scrolling is smooth, so I'm happy with it, bearing in mind it isn't even alpha yet.
This latest update seems to have slowed expose, perhaps the bug fixes added more initial calcluations on position?
It's all progress, I'm sure by the time Panther comes out there will be great across the board improvements (Specifically I'm hoping for major graphics improvements, but also sound improvements because that area has been slightly ignored for audio professionals)

thats good so by the time it comes out they will hopefully fix the problems
now that about it, it seems as though 10.2 wasnt much faster than 10.1 but that may be that im used to 10.2
