That system, up to and including its final release, was a direct descendant of the operating system Apple had used in its computers since their introduction in 1984. However, the current macOS is a operating system built on technology that had been developed at from the 1980s until Apple purchased the company in early 1997. Although it was originally marketed as simply 'version 10' of the Mac OS (indicated by the 'X'), it has a completely different from Mac OS 9, as well as substantial changes to its user interface.
Gramps for the Mac Review by Peter, Jul 26, 2018 Rating. I would rate it 5, except that there is a learning curve. Being fair, some is learning genealogy practices, and some is the power of the Gramps Program. If the gramps software doesn't currently offer a built-in way to build a native Mac OS X app, then the developers of gramps are whom you should contact to discuss this. Once they've done so and released a version of gramps including this capability, we can revisit this request. Jul 24, 2018 - Version 5.0.0, a new major release, has been released. [Mac] Change accel for Undo History. So that it doesn't. Gramps-users mailing list.
The transition was a technologically and strategically significant one. To ease the transition, versions through 10.4 were able to run Mac OS 9 and its applications in a. It was first released in 1999 as, with a widely released desktop version——following in March 2001. Since then, several more distinct desktop and server editions of macOS have been released. Starting with, is no longer offered as a separate operating system; instead, server management tools are available for purchase as an add-on. Starting with the build of, most releases have been certified as Unix systems conforming to the. MacOS has retained the major version number 10 throughout its development history to date; releases of macOS have also been named after (versions 10.0–10.8) or locations in (10.9–present).
Diagram of the relationships between Unix systems including the ancestors of macOS After removed from management in 1985, he left the company and attempted to create the 'next big thing', with funding from and himself. The result was the. As the first workstation to include a (DSP) and a high-capacity optical disc drive, NeXT hardware was advanced for its time, but was expensive relative to the rapidly commoditizing workstation market and marred by design problems. The hardware was phased out in 1993; however, the company's had a more lasting legacy. NeXTSTEP was based on the developed at CMU (Carnegie Mellon University) and, an implementation of dating back to the 1970s. It featured an programming based on the language. This environment is known today in the Mac world as.
It also supported the innovative database access layer and application server development environment, among other notable features. All but abandoning the idea of an operating system, NeXT managed to maintain a business selling WebObjects and consulting services, but was never a commercial success. NeXTSTEP underwent an evolution into which separated the object layers from the operating system below, allowing it to run with less modification on other platforms. OPENSTEP was, for a short time, adopted. However, by this point, a number of other companies — notably Apple, IBM, Microsoft, and even Sun itself — were claiming they would soon be releasing similar object-oriented operating systems and development tools of their own. (Some of these efforts, such as, did not fully come to fruition; others, like, gained widespread adoption.) On February 4, 1997, acquired NeXT for $427 million, and used OPENSTEP as the basis for, as it was called at the time.
Traces of the NeXT software heritage can still be seen in macOS. For example, in the development environment, the library classes have 'NS' prefixes, and the HISTORY section of the manual page for the defaults command in macOS straightforwardly states that the command 'First appeared in NeXTStep.' Internal development Meanwhile, Apple was facing commercial difficulties of its own. The decade-old had reached the limits of its single-user, architecture, and its once-innovative user interface was looking increasingly outdated. A massive development effort to replace it, known as, was started in 1994, but was generally perceived outside Apple to be a hopeless case due to political infighting and conflicting goals.
By 1996, Copland was nowhere near ready for release, and the project was eventually cancelled. Some elements of Copland were incorporated into, released on July 26, 1997. After considering the purchase of — a multimedia-enabled, multi-tasking OS designed for hardware similar to Apple's — the company decided instead to acquire NeXT and use as the basis for their new OS. Took over OS development, and Steve Jobs was brought on as a consultant.
At first, the plan was to develop a new operating system based almost entirely on an updated version of OPENSTEP, with the addition of a virtual machine subsystem — known as the Blue Box — for running 'classic' Macintosh applications. The result was known by the code name, slated for release in late 1998. Apple expected that developers would port their software to the considerably more powerful OPENSTEP libraries once they learned of its power and flexibility. Instead, several major developers such as told Apple that this would never occur, and that they would rather leave the platform entirely.
This 'rejection' of Apple's plan was largely the result of a string of previous broken promises from Apple; after watching one 'next OS' after another disappear and Apple's market share dwindle, developers were not interested in doing much work on the platform at all, let alone a re-write. Changed direction under Jobs Apple's financial losses continued and the board of directors lost confidence in CEO, asking him to resign. The board asked to lead the company on an interim basis, essentially giving him to make changes to return the company to profitability.
When Jobs announced at the that what developers really wanted was a modern version of the Mac OS, and Apple was going to deliver it , he was met with thunderous applause. Over the next two years, major effort was applied to porting the original Macintosh APIs to Unix libraries known as. Mac OS applications could be ported to Carbon without the need for a complete re-write, making them operate as native applications on the new operating system. Meanwhile, applications written using the older toolkits would be supported using the 'Classic' Mac OS 9 environment. Support for, and were added, furthering developer comfort with the new platform.
During this time, the lower layers of the operating system (the and the BSD layers on top of it ) were re-packaged and released under the. They became known as. The Darwin kernel provides a stable and flexible operating system, which takes advantage of the contributions of programmers and independent open-source projects outside Apple; however, it sees little use outside the Macintosh community.
During this period, the had increased in popularity, and an effort was started to improve Mac Java support. This consisted of porting a high-speed Java to the platform, and exposing macOS-specific 'Cocoa' APIs to the Java language. The first release of the new OS — — used a modified version of the Mac OS GUI, but all client versions starting with Mac OS X Developer Preview 3 used a new theme known as. Aqua was a substantial departure from the Mac OS 9 interface, which had evolved with little change from that of the original Macintosh operating system: it incorporated full color scalable graphics, anti-aliasing of text and graphics, simulated shading and highlights, transparency and shadows, and animation. A key new feature was the Dock, an application launcher which took advantage of these capabilities. Despite this, OS X maintained a substantial degree of consistency with the traditional Mac OS interface and Apple's own, with its pull-down menu at the top of the screen, familiar keyboard shortcuts, and support for a single-button mouse. The development of Aqua was delayed somewhat by the switch from OpenStep's engine to one developed in-house that was free of any license restrictions, known as.
Releases With the exception of and the original public beta, the first several macOS versions were named after. Prior to its release, was 'Cheetah' internally at Apple, and was code named internally as 'Puma'. After the code name 'Jaguar' for received publicity in the media, Apple began openly using the names to promote the operating system: was marketed as 'Panther', as 'Tiger', as 'Leopard', as 'Snow Leopard', as 'Lion', and as 'Mountain Lion'. 'Panther', 'Tiger', and 'Leopard' were registered as trademarks, and Apple registered 'Lynx' and 'Cougar', but these were allowed to lapse, with Apple instead using the name of iconic locations in California for subsequent releases: is named after, a popular surfing destination; is named after; is named for; is named for the; and is named for the area around the. Public Beta: 'Kodiak'.
Main article: On September 13, 2000 Apple released a $29.95 'preview' version of (internally codenamed ) in order to gain feedback from users. It marked the first public availability of the Aqua interface, and Apple made many changes to the UI based on customer feedback.
Mac OS X Public Beta expired and ceased to function in spring 2001. Version 10.0: 'Cheetah' On March 24, 2001, Apple released (internally codenamed ). The initial version was slow, incomplete, and had very few applications available at the time of its launch, mostly from independent developers. While many critics suggested that the operating system was not ready for mainstream adoption, they recognized the importance of its initial launch as a base on which to improve.
Simply releasing Mac OS X was received by the Macintosh community as a great accomplishment, for attempts to completely overhaul the Mac OS had been underway since 1996, and delayed by countless setbacks. Following some bug fixes, became much less frequent. Version 10.1: 'Puma' (internally codenamed Puma) was released on September 25, 2001. It had better performance and provided missing features, such as DVD playback.
Apple released 10.1 as a free upgrade CD for 10.0 users, in addition to the US$129 boxed version for people running. It was discovered that the upgrade CDs were full install CDs that could be used with Mac OS 9 systems by removing a specific file; Apple later re-released the CDs in an actual stripped-down format that did not facilitate installation on such systems. On January 7, 2002, Apple announced that Mac OS X was to be the default operating system for all Macintosh products by the end of that month. Version 10.2: 'Jaguar' On August 23, 2002, Apple followed up with, the first release to use its code name as part of the branding. It brought great raw performance improvements, a sleeker look, and many powerful user-interface enhancements (over 150, according to Apple ), including for compositing graphics directly on an or MX AGP-based video card with at least 16 MB of VRAM, a system-wide repository for contact information in the new, and an instant messaging client named. The which had appeared during the Mac OS startup sequence for almost 18 years was replaced with a large grey Apple logo with the introduction of Mac OS X 10.2. Version 10.3: 'Panther' was released on October 24, 2003.
In addition to providing much improved performance, it also incorporated the most extensive update yet to the user interface. Panther included as many or more new features as Jaguar had the year before, including an updated Finder, incorporating a brushed-metal interface, (Window manager), iChat AV (which added features to iChat), improved (PDF) rendering and much greater interoperability.
Support for some early G3 computers such as 'beige' Power Macs and 'WallStreet' PowerBooks was discontinued. Version 10.4: 'Tiger' was released on April 29, 2005. Apple stated that Tiger contained more than 200 new features.
As with Panther, certain older machines were no longer supported; Tiger requires a Mac with a built-in port. Among the new features, Tiger introduced, updated Mail program with Smart Mailboxes, 7, 2,. The initial release of the used a modified version of Tiger with a different graphical interface and fewer applications and services. On January 10, 2006, Apple released the first Intel-based Macs along with the 10.4.4 update to Tiger. This operating system functioned identically on the PowerPC-based Macs and the new Intel-based machines, with the exception of the Intel release dropping support for the Classic environment.
Only PowerPC Macs can be booted from retail copies of the Tiger client DVD, but there is a Universal DVD of Tiger Server 10.4.7 (8K1079) that can boot both PowerPC and Intel Macs. Version 10.5: 'Leopard' was released on October 26, 2007.
It was called by Apple 'the largest update of Mac OS X'. Leopard supports both - and -based Macintosh computers; support for the G3 processor was dropped and the G4 processor required a minimum clock rate of 867 MHz, and at least 512 MB of to be installed. The single DVD works for all supported Macs (including 64-bit machines). New features include a new look, an updated Finder, pre-installed, full support for applications (including graphical applications), new features in and, and a number of new security features. Leopard is an registered product on the Intel platform. It was also the first OS to receive UNIX 03 certification. Leopard dropped support for the and all Classic applications, and was the final version of Mac OS X to support the PowerPC architecture.
