For sure, I remember some infamous bugs like the one that caused data loss on external media connected during OS updates (was it some Leopard point update in the later G5 days? Maybe…). Back then Beta builds felt like Beta builds and RCs and GMs felt like RCs and GMs, whereas now everything feels like Beta builds, one after the other, with many old bugs left unfixed and new ones, including regressions, unannounced feature deletions, etc., rearing their ugly head. These regressions and silent feature deletions, half-assed implementations (like the CloudStorage framework and the world of hurt it wrought upon us, in my case as recently as… you've guessed it, the 14.0 update, which borked Time Machine in the process because of some really stupid decisions made by Apple engineering) and whatnot do feel a bit more sloppy and egregious than before. Even the great debacle that was the loss of functionality in iWork or in Final Cut Pro, when Apple rebooted their respective codebases, felt less gratuitous or disrespectful, because there was some sort of a program behind it and it WAS properly communicated to the end-users, even at a time when Apple's PR was a bit of a paranoid mess. Yes, I remember suffering from my fair share of bugs, graphical glitches, etc., but they were somehow… more benign. also since Panther I did use Jaguar for a few days, as it came preinstalled on my first Mac, but it came with pack-in Panther upgrade DVDs which I made use of shortly after), and… I actually disagree. ![]() I've been using Macs for almost 20 years (i.e. Sure, it always felt less buggy compared to the complexity that all the features in macOS, iOS etc cause today, but after all we've had enough bugs to deal with as well. I could list some many glitches and annoying software bugs from the old Panther, Tiger, Leopard days that were exactly the same quality that we can experience today. ![]() It's simply not true that software quality has been on another level in the earlier SJ days. More information on the features in macOS Sonoma can be found in our macOS Sonoma roundup. In addition to macOS Sonoma 14.1, Apple has also released macOS Ventura 13.6.1 and macOS Monterey 12.7.1 with many of the same security fixes for those still running older versions of macOS. Some features may not be available for all regions, or on all Apple devices.įor detailed information about the security content of this update, please visit: Fixes an issue that may prevent encrypted external drives from mounting.Fixes an issue where the System Services settings within Location Services may reset. ![]()
