Is this really suprising? A boxed release has to be done weeks (months?) before it ships. Its not like they stop working on it after it gets done.

NOW I'll consider installing it.

MikeCapone2• 17 years ago

It's a bit arbitrary, no.

If you look at the list of fixes in 10.6.1, do you see anything that would've kept you from making 10.6.0 work on your Mac?

compay2• 17 years ago

Oops, no sarcasm tag. :-)

Although compay is now repudiating his comment, I'll bite: Even if there's nothing that was fixed in 10.6.1 that would have been important to me, the fact that we got to the first point release without such a fix is better evidence that there was no such problem in 10.6.0, something I would only know, otherwise, had I taken the chance and installed it. Therefore, in the sense that matters, it doesn't make any difference whether there was an important fix in this release, because if there was, it was fixed, and if there wasn't, it's evidence that there was no problem to fix.

Either way, it pays to wait if you're risk averse. And I am.

For what it's worth, I'm running 10.6 on one of my Macs, and I still have some Ports that don't work on it.

In particular, I've had issues with ghc and R. Most other software (both common and uncommon) has been okay, but I'd recommend most people wait another month or so, unless 10.6 fixes something important to you, or is otherwise significant.

ghc is one of a handful of MacPorts which does not work with Snow Leopard, although this should be fixed soon (32-bit only, though): http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20132

I hope it fixes whatever it is that's causing the new Opera 10 to be unusably slow for me. Has anyone seen this? I haven't been able to get any usable results of out google yet.

There is already a fix for this from Opera.

That must've been posted after my comment, but who cares, it works. Thanks!
