It’s just about time for the new cat to be let loose. Apple has announced that Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard will go on sale on Friday, August 28th in both single user and 5-User Family Packs. I’d highly recommend everyone upgrading to it. It runs great and you will see better performance with it. The only downside is that it is intel only, so those of you still running PPC Macs are left out with this release.
The big question that always comes up at OS upgrade time is will my software work on it. We’re happy to announce that all of Cynical Peak’s applications will run correctly on Snow Leopard. We’ve been running the developer builds for awhile now and have test all of our apps on it. Cyndicate and Scorecard have no known issues with it.
Rivet will also run and work correctly on it, but there is one small known issue right now. For some video files, QuickLook is not correctly returning a thumbnail for it. So when viewing you list of videos, you might get some generic placeholder images. We’re currently working with Apple on the issue and hope to have it resolved soon. The issue does not affect streaming of any media and will not prevent you from using Rivet like you normally do.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Support and we’ll get them answered for you right away.
