Logan Allred, the developer of MacPAF, is running a poll about which versions of Mac OS X should be supported under MacPAF
MacPAF has some major news this morning – the second private beta has been released, and it is now being compiled as a Universal Binary (a major feat considering that Apple hasn’t released that much information about compiling Cocoa-Java applications as a Universal Binary). One of the updates in this beta is importing sealing ordinances from old PAF 2.3.1.
Just a few notes from Logan about the latest MacPAF news:
* A few more bugs were released that that he’s going to clean up before the general preview release.
* A workaround was found for the pre-Tiger/Mac OS X 10.4 menu bar problem, so Mac OS X 10.3 users (and perhaps earlier) will be able to use it.
* A problem with importing Sealing ordinances from Family Records 2.3.1’s GEDCOM files was found.
You can track the latest news at the developer’s homepage
Some people have tried out a preview release of MacPAF, and there is an issue with pre-Mac OS X 10.4 systems, but the developer is working on it. A preview release for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) users may be made available, while issues are worked out with pre 10.4 systems.
Some issues have been found already and are being addressed, but a preview release will be made available in the next few days.
You can keep an eye on this here, or at the developer’s home page.
