Updates for Jaguar Compatibility

Rob McKeever writes "I have just posted WirelessDriver 1.0.0b5.1 to both my iDisk (robm) and to the usual spot on SourceForge.net. This build has been compiled specifically for Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) and will not work on earlier versions of Mac OS X. There will be a separate version coming shortly to fill this void. The installer will fail the first time you try to do this; please try to run the installer at least once more before asking for assistance." Wonderful! The panic-on-reinsertion bug appears to be fixed too, making it much more useful, as I only need to use the PC Card when the internal card is out of range. Also, SharePoints, for making arbitrary folders available via file sharing, was updated for 10.2 compatability. LiteSwitch X still isn't updated, but note that hot keys other than cmd-tab still work with the older version.

Apache Panic?

does anyone know if this "bug" is fixed yet?

I'm reading the long time Mac users here whine on and on about little tiny issues of this or that feature. Do you have any idea how big a change it is to go from one system compiler to another? Its huge. Even with source and make (and therefore in theory no issues) Linux distributions that have made this switch lost months doing nothing but working out bugs. Apple has done an amazing job. (Look at Fink for example where there wasn't the direct support and the number of issues they are dealing with, and again they have source). As far as I can tell virtually everything ran, and a few system hacks are having problems -- of course OS extensions are going to have problems with a change of OS!

Or of course you could always "reverse switch" (i.e. the windows way) and have APIs that grow in a never ending fashion using different sets of system libraries, conflicting with one another having horrible problems communicating....

Mail.app and Energy Saver Bugs

[tarkin]

Indeed there are some new bugs introduced into 10.2

When I wake from sleep, Mail.app sometimes cannot get mail from my POP account. It asks for a password, and when I give it the password it says it's not right. When I check mail again, it can connect without a problem. And Mail.app can access my keychain. Imap and other POP accounts work perfect. It had this bug in the developer previews of jaguar.

And when I wake from sleep my Energy Saver says that my battery power has run out and it will return to sleep. Even with a fully charged battery ! Several minutes later the battery power calculates the correct ammount left.

I hope they fix it real soon.
I *am* running Build 6C115 from a developer release but the final version of Jag is also 6C115. I hope they're not only in the developer preview (for my sake;-)
