There were some mentioned in the past few days. The topic that comes
to mind right away is a freeimage / imagescience one. I followed the
instructions given at the end of that thread and it worked perfectly.
Terminal in Leopard is awesome, I love it.
Textmate is fine, I don't use fugu, svn is built-in so I'm guessing
svnX will be ok, you have the CLI to fall back on if it is not. MySQL
is fine, although I don't use CocoaMySQL.
Photoshop, haven't traveled down that road yet.
So yea, I used my iPhone rebate to buy leopard, and I use my mac for
rails development (work) every day and I'm doing fine on leopard.
MySQL has some issues right now if you use the prefpane to start it… by which I mean it doesn’t start or stop the DB… you have to do it via the terminal.
Other than that, I’m doing fine with it. I am still using my own Ruby / rails / SVN stack that I set up on Tiger tho.
I ran into some issues with ruby 1.8.6 and a rails project (used
postgres). A lot of my tests where failing involving sql find orders.
Tried different versions of rails, postgres adapters, postgresql
versions and different locales. Only fix for me was installing ruby
1.8.5.
Also if you want to use ImageMagick and Mac Ports you'll need to
install the tiff port first.
sudo port install tiff -macosx
Then install Image/R magick
I installed fresh on a new hard drive in my MBP, Leopard pulled all of
my apps / docs over from a usb external drive that had my 10.4 install
on it. If you choose the option to bring over all of your old files,
it will bring over your /usr/local as well. I was up and running
immediately after the upgrade including macports, imagemagick, rails,
ruby, etc. I run off my own rails / ruby stack out of /usr/local. YMMV
of course, but I have had a pleasurable experience so far.
I have noticed much improved battery life with Leopard. It was not bad
before, but I have gained an average of 30 - 45 minutes. I also notice
much better memory management. Good luck, it's a killer upgrade!
