Tiger OSX 10.4 Release-

Apple is grumbling up to a release of tiger sometime soon.
Developers like me are not told the exact date.
We find out the day apple releases it!
Just like everyone else

But I tested on the latest build a couple of weeks ago and parts of opengl were still badly broken.

So apple may end up releasing something that doesnt work very well for this.

DONT install Mac OSX 10.4 when released and expect Catalyst or Pixelmad to work!
There is a large probability that they wont work properly.
This is a very big change for apple.
Not a minor update

Not just Open GL. A lot of drivers will not work with Tiger.
Do not install until you a notice from Richard or myself that we're happy with it....

Press releases are being rumoured.

its going to be driver carnage out there - if my experiences are like other peoples....

the performance of this weeks tiger build is quite simply dreadful.
And this weeks build may be the GM version.

Even with a single white image - its dreadful.
Awful.

They must have pulled out quite a few stops to make it so bad.

I wasnt even playing back any movies.

Something very strange going on.

There are a lot of problems with Tiger - like the early days of Mac OS X...
Most of my cards won't work with it.
