We have betas of Daylite(3.6), DMI(2.1) and Billings(2.5.2) ready and we feel pretty good about them. We just want to make sure everything is cool on the final build of Leopard before we let them out. These releases are strictly compatibility releases, no new features have been added.
We had to do some heavy lifting in Daylite and DMI (as you can imagine), and we’ve been working on it since Daylite 3.2.3 (3.2.2 will not run on Leopard, neither will DMI 2.0.5). We know there are changes in the final Leopard and we hope none of those will impact us (unlike when Tiger rolled around last time).
If you must install Leopard right away because you have a case of AppleLatestSoftwareItis, you can contact our support team and get links to our betas for either product.
UPDATE: This is an inappropriate medium for support questions. Please send your support questions to support [at] marketcircle [dot] com and someone will get back to you. I’m closing the comments.
Until next time…

Is there a cure for AppleLatestSoftwareItis?
LRK says:
The Apple stores have told me – yes, it could be PR only – that Leopard is only an upgrade not a new OS – which is why it is only 10.5 – and that there are not a lot of known compatibility issues, since those have been considered along the way in 10.xOS. They are running a lot of non-Apple programs with no problem – and I did the same in the stores with no problem. This probably more heat than light but thought I’d pass it along.
Jon says:
3.5+ (3.5.2 as well) seem to work, the only issue i’ve had is if you have auto-sync on, the program crashes.
DMI just plain doesn’t work though. If you need Daylite for your day-to-day, bet to hold on a few days.
AJ says:
Please see my latest post on Leopard. We have proper betas. The official Leopard versions will be 3.6 for Daylite and 2.1 for DMI. The older versions of Daylite work, but there bugs, so it is better to go with latest and official version.
Stefan says:
My experiences so far: I did a clean install of Leopard, Beta DL 3.6b 1424 and DMI 2.1b2. DMI does not work, the OS is removing the PlugIn automatically when you launch Mail. I am having a lot of trouble with OpenBase App and DayLite. Both seem to need years to start, same with OpenBase. Moreover both apps are very unresponsive. Changing prefs of DayLite results in spinning wheels. Did an uninstall and started from the beginning. No improvement so far.
AJ says:
That is the first time I’m hearing that DMI 2.1 (b2) does not work and that Leopard kicks it out. I know for sure that DMI 2.0.5 is kicked out, but not 2.1.
OpenBase does take an additional 30 seconds or so to start and get to a database. I know they are looking into this.
Can you send email to support please – this way we can follow up. This blog is not the ideal platform for figuring this stuff out.
Thanks.
