Next Mac OSX Release?
by Eric Robinson · in Torque Game Builder · 01/25/2007 (6:21 pm) · 4 replies
So I've read on other threads that a Mac 1.1.3 is on the way. The thing is that we've been hearing that since November of last year. It's nearing February now. Is GG going to skip this release for Mac and go straight to 1.1.4 or whatever's next?
Even a "Fuzzy ETA" on the next release would be a great help. It would at least stop me from accessing the Mac download page on a daily basis...
Anyone?
P.S.- I know that I can get a Mac Build working from the Windows Source. I assume, however, that plenty of Mac-specific bugs are being cleaned up prior to the next release. I mean, it can't be changing one line in the source that's held up GG's official release for two months, right?

No idea. I don't work at GG, I'm just a community hippy hanging and griefing people who won't support linux.

PS For whatever it's worth, it *should* be noted that TGB no longer claims to support linux on its product page, which I consider to be pretty weak, despite almost kinda sorta maybe validating the fact that linux support is currently basically dropped.
PPS Three cheers for thread hijacking to make my hippy bias known :-)

So, two questions for GG doods:
"Fuzzy ETA" for the next Linux release?
"Fuzzy ETA" for the next Mac OSX release?
Oh, and another question: OSX 10.5 Leopard. I assume GG has access to the developer builds. Is that fuzzily potentially one of the reasons that it's taking a while to release?
@ PS- That's true but also unfortunate. One of the reasons that I went with TGB in the first place was it's platform agnosticism. I sincerely hope that Linux support isn't entirely dropped. That would be unfortunate.
@ PPS- Haha, you wrote "PP". S'funny.
EDIT: added @Gary.

@Gary: Oh, that question wasn't directed at you. Sorry if that wasn't clear. :DSo, two questions for GG doods:
