wineCellar and New OS Versions
The end of August has seen the release of Apple's new OS update called Snow Leopard (10.6). Cadent wineCellar 2.1 was tested under Snow Leopard and all went well. One has to assume that Apple has kept backward compatibility of its API's while doing all of that "under the hood" work.
Now the bad news: I got an early release of Windows 7 and tried wineCellar 2.1 on it: no luck here. Cadent wineCellar froze on the splash screen with no indication of what is going wrong. Sigh. Why can't Microsoft take a page out of Apple's playbook and minimize the pain to developers when OS upgrades are done? Could this be a new security feature blocking my program from running? Time and research will tell.
I'm now happily playing with Snow Leopard and dreading the release of Windows 7 in October. This would make a good "Hi I'm a Mac" ad!
