I installed the developer version of Tiger tonight, herein are a few notes about the changes.

  • iChat supports Jabber
  • Rendezvous is now called Bonjour
  • There is a small metallic sound while typing, I guess that is supposed to help with the tempo.
  • The dictionary app will get a lot of use from me, looking up words is my primary use for Sherlock.
  • Logging in seems sluggish
  • Safari 2.0 is slower at rendering than 1.3
  • Safari has a nice new feature: "private browsing". Web pages are not saved in the history file and information is not collected for auto-filling forms
  • I'm sure the dashboard will get some use, even if it is only for the calculator
  • To make your RSS feed show up in Safari 2.0, you need to change the link type from 'alternative' to 'alternate'.
  • Mail.app has a completely redesigned interface. And it didn't quite get the mail accounts imported correctly.
