We have just released our upgrade with Leopard compatibility. As for new features, we will implement any that we feel will really enhance the functionality of Accordance. We are always open to creative ideas for new features. (Most suggestions are just minor tweaks of current features). However, we have plenty of very exciting new features in the pipeline which do not depend on Leopard, and we have enough ideas to keep us busy for the foreseeable future.

I just got the new version update email as soon as I posted in the forums. As soon as I get done working on our church audio, Im installing this update. Looking forward seeing the new accordance features when they are released.
Thanks

Just finished my in-place upgrade to 10.5. So far, no problems.

The initial install took about 1.5 hours on my Powerbook G4 1.5 GHz w/ 1G of RAM.

The first time I started up took a long time (3-4 minutes) but things have sped up slightly. Spotlight appears to reindex after an in-place upgrade as well so my machine is definitely struggling to keep up. Hopefully the performance will increase after the indexing is done. After reboot there was a process called upgradedb running as well. This ran for several minutes and finally ended. However, while it was running it was using nearly 30% of my CPU utilization.

BTW, I like the new look of the tabs in 7.4. Very nice.

I'll post again if I encounter issues.

I just installed Leopard, too. Everything is working fine so far. And we can all celebrate the official demise of pinstripes in Accordance and all other programs. Brushed metal seems to be gone, too. Even the brushed metal setting in Mellel won't produce brushed metal!

Overall, the interface looks very modern. Now let's hope that it will perform as good as it looks.

By the way Jeremy, my installation took about 40 minutes. But my Mac's a bit newer than yours.

How fickle we Mac users are. I remember the day when everyone was celebrating the fact that we had OS X pinstripes in Accordance!

This is very true. I'm also starting to grow weary of the translucent blue, not that I don't like the new tabs in 7.4...

You can always switch to graphite appearance, then you get translucent graphite color everything, including the tabs in Accordance (in Tiger at least).

I like how you can assign a specific application to its own space in spaces. Its nice for me to have accordance open in its own space and keeps the distraction of other apps out of my way
