Greetings!
On January 9, Apple began distributing an update to Mac OS 9.1 via
its web site, http://www.apple.com/software. The update is a free
download, but is also available on CD for $19.95 through a PDF order
form available on the page. The Software Release Team is pursuing
producing an update CD for the MIT community.
According to Apple this release incorporates fixes made available
after 9.04, as well as provide improved support for Multiple Users.
Initial reports are that it is very stable and preliminary testing
shows that it works with the basic MIT-supported applications.
There are three important issues to be aware of when installing the
9.1 update. First, it will not work with Mac OS X public beta.
Second, if you use a Language Kit, you must have the full install CD
in order to upgrade your language kit at the same time as you are
upgrading to Mac OS 9.1. Third, after upgrading you use the Apple
Software Update and download CarbonLib 1.2. Version 1.1.1 is included
with 9.1 but version 1.2 is much better. For further details on
updating to 9.1, see Apple's web site at http://www.apple.com.
Within the next few weeks, the Software Release Team will have
detailed testing results as well as more information about
distribution. If you have questions in the meantime, feel free to
contact us at swrt@mit.edu.
Enjoy!
