iOS 10 and macOS Sierra

Apple recently released new versions of their operating systems, iOS and OS X (now called macOS).

iOS 10 was released over a week ago. At this time, there are no known problems with our iPad apps running in iOS 10 (this is unlike iOS 9, which caused a nightmare, and like all previous iOS releases, which did not cause problems). All of our iPad apps including Pretty Good Solitaire run fine on iOS 10.

MacOS Sierra (10.12) was released this week. At this time there are no known problems in any of our Mac apps except for Pretty Good MahJongg. Pretty Good Solitaire and all our other Mac apps except Pretty Good MahJongg appear to be running fine is Sierra. Again, most Mac OS updates have not caused problems, but some have.

The exception is Pretty Good MahJongg, which is crashing in Sierra. We are working to find out what the problem is and issue an update. In the meantime, if Pretty Good MahJongg for the Mac is an application that you use, we recommend not updating to Sierra until we can fix the problem.

As a side note, not once in over 20 years of updates has any update to Windows ever caused a crash in one of our games. Microsoft takes backwards compatibility with software very seriously. Apple simply doesn't care at all, in fact they regularly and gleefully cause old apps to stop working. This makes it much harder for Apple developers.

New Kittens

Last month our 17 year old cat Ace passed away. We have now acquired two new kittens.

They are female dilute calico kittens, adopted from a great local cat rescue organization, the Forever Home Feline Ranch. They are 4 months old, and came completely vet checked, with all their vaccinations and they were even spayed. They are extremely active and friendly.

We have named them Bandit and Caramel. Bandit has a black marking on the back of her head that looks like a bandanna, but she has earned the Bandit name from her behavior. Caramel is just the sweetest and friendliest lap kitten ever.

Our two older cats, Pumpkin and Random, are still getting used to the new arrivals. Random in particular has to get used to not being the youngest cat anymore, a position he has held for 9 years, since he was a new kitten.
