Last week Apple released Snow Leopard. We’ve now had a few days to evaluate it. (Ok three. We got ours delivered the day it was available.) We won’t detail all the new features in the OS as there are plenty of reviews on Snow Leopard. Of interest specifically to our clients however is Zimbra and its compatibility with Snow Leopard. We’re pleased to say that thus far we haven’t seen any major show stoppers.
Zimbra Sync Services for OS-X:
The Zimbra plugin for OS-X Sync services as you might expect is 32 bit. So in the new Snow Leopard system preferences pane, when you try to access it you will be presented with a friendly dialog asking you to reload in 32 bit:
Other than that the plugin seems to work fine.
Zimbra Desktop (Mac)
This one was interesting. We have only had the chance to confirm this on a single mac - but after the upgrade Zimbra Desktop wouldn’t load, yielding a non-descript javascript error. We ended up reinstalling it and worked fine.
*Update* Zimbra 1.0.3 has been released which resolves this issues.
