I hesitate to jump in on this post as it seems to have generated some vitriol, but I would have to wholeheartedly agree with Ben Here.
I upgraded to Mavericks and rolled back to Snow Leopard after 12 hours because of the mod_jk issue. This weekend, thanks to some footwork by Sean Coyne and one of his commenters ( see links and my steps here: https://gist.github.com/jclausen/7121183 ), Im back up and running on Mavericks with CF10. I develop on a Mac because, by and large, my workflow is cleaner and my productivity better on a Mac - with a variety of applications and tasks. That said, with every iteration, I average about 3-4 hours (5 in this case) of non-billable time to get my development environment configured the way I want it. OSX releases are pushed fast and Apple puts a great deal of onus on the software companies to make sure *they* are responsible for forward compatibility, the nature of some of that onus is unfair as Apple routinely drops and adds included packages and libraries with major OS version upgrades. That said, I would never deploy a production CF Application to and OSX server because, as servers go, its not as high on the priority list for bug fixes and maintenance - no matter which CFML server you are using. OSX releases also dont receive the kind of lead time and intense debugging that Windows Server or RHEL receive so, if you choose to run on a bleeding edge version of an OS, you are electing to take your chances, IMHO. I think a software vendor has a responsibility to support previous versions of their OS, but stability is always going to be an iteration or two behind - no matter what. Thats the nature of the beast. -J On Oct 28, 2013, at 12:34 PM, Ben Forta <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ok, I'll bite ... > > I am running Windows 8.1 on my primary laptop, and now an app that I need > no longer runs.
