Upgrade to Panther


Well I finally upgraded to Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) last night since my presentations at No Fluff were finally over and I felt like I could aford the hit of potentiall nothing working. Since several people I've talked to have had very easy transistions I figured it would be no problem.

Well turns out that there are several problems, so far

  • Emacs.app won't run one or two bounces and then nothing
  • Eclipse 2.1.2 won't run on the 1.4.1 JDK, runs OK on the 1.3.1 though so I've switched back

Thankfully I found the following binary Emacs for Panther that seems to be working just fine.
Other impressions
  • So far I like the new finder
  • Seems faster
  • Terminal app starts almost instantly
  • The new iChat is very cool!

Now back to work. I'll post more later as I get into working with Panther.
