Apple’s Leopard Leopard Leaked On Web
The folks over at Apple Insider have some more information on Leopard. The forthcoming OS will be pretty sweet from what we’ve seen.
In particular, a posting to the Windows Vista developer community site, AeroXperience, reveals well over a dozen previously undiscussed features — specifically those pertinent to developers. Each of the enhancements are present in a beta release of Leopard (Leopard Preview) which was handed to developers at Apple’s developer conference this week.
I’m especially looking forward to the Time Machine.
Time Machine is a fascinating file backup system that Apple is building into Leopard. It works not only across the Mac OS X Finder but can also be built into third party applications. According to the web report, one of the tools Apple is giving developers is a programming interface to exclude unimportant files. Removing these files from the backup set should improves backup performance and reduces space needed for a backup.
Very cool.
