 Mac OS 8 (D11E4) Release Notes These release notes describe some of the changes that have occurred since the previous developer release of Mac OS 8. There may be functionality and changes not described here. This document is provided to you as an aid in determining the functionality of this release and which bugs are already known by Apple. The seven-digit numbers (e.g. 1246744) are used internally for bug tracking. • Appearance Manager (Themes) Bugs Fixed: SetTheme now restores port on exit (1246744) Pen PixPat no longer uses same pat as back PixPat (1331809) Control directionality now masked for scrollbars (1339213) Popup controls now draw correctly when in Right-to-left orientation (1335344) Control Invisibility no longer asserts, just exits draw function (1338987, 1337889) Window variant codes now work for dialogs and floating windows (1263898, 1341133, 1331822) Known Bugs/Problems In This Release: A state may occur with some applications where the port pen or background pixpat ends up nil. This may cause a later crash is some cases. Window titles of some windows get clipped off when redrawn on update or uncollapse. Control focus is being redone and should finally work correctly. • Apple Technology (International) Kotoeri Bugs fixed since d11e1: 1340125 Kotoeri does not do kana-kanji conversion 1346425 Kotoeri Keyboard icon is wrong 1349013 Annoying DebugStr in KotoeriIMInitRoutine 1346218 Kotoeri palette disappears when zoomed, frame remains 1346221 Bad redraw when scrolling through character palette. Known bugs / unimplemented features: • Daruma returns kanji characters grouped into morphemes; Kotoeri should combine these morphemes into courser-grained groups based on part-of-speech, but currently does not do so. • Kotoeri should call Daruma multiple times to get a more comprehensive list of canidates, but currently only calls Daruma once (so you may not see the Kanji you're looking for). • Not all of the two-byte Roman punctuation and other special characters are correctly transliterated (the table is incomplete). • The following menu items have not been implemented: Kotoeri help \ Open Dictionary > the corresponding buttons on the command palette are also non-functional Kotoeri preferences / Retrieve fixed Yomi Transliterate ...
