For this update, we really worked to improve every single facet of the product. Posted By Neale Van Fleet on June 13th, 2023Įarlier this spring, we shipped the second major version of Farrago. It is our fervent hope that Apple simply drops this alert entirely before Sonoma officially ships in the fall. Then, some time later, they remove the APIs. First, they announce the pending removal of the API to developers. The last thing users should ever have to worry about is “deprecated APIs”.Īpple already has a powerful method for dealing with deprecated APIs. This poorly-written alert, instructing users to contact developers for new software, is an unacceptable disturbing of that balance. When managed well, it keeps both parties in check. This tension is the normal state of affairs. Platform owners, on the other hand, wish to cut out cruft and move forward rapidly. It’s understood that it must evolve, but it should do so slowly and predictably.
As developers, we wish for a stable platform. Since the very first computer platform was created, there has been a power struggle between platform owners and developers. There is no improving this, short of its complete removal. He follows up with a list of suggestions for improving the dialog, to make it at least minimally tolerable.
Please contact the developer for an updated version.”Ĭraig’s post includes many notes detailing how terrible this dialog is. The dialog states “ is using a deprecated API that will be removed in the future. We urge you to stick with MacOS 13 or lower for now, rather than catching yourself on the extremely rough edges of a beta operating system.Ī recent post from Craig Hockenberry brought attention to one such rough edge, in the form of a new warning dialog which may pop up in the Sonoma betas. We’re hard at work on updates, but it will be some time before they’re available. That makes this a useful time to remind you that the betas are not yet supported by our products. Posted By Quentin Carnicelli on July 12th, 2023Īpple has just unveiled the first public betas for the next version of the Mac’s operating system, MacOS 14 (Sonoma).
