One of the weird parts of doing a public beta, as we did for 3.0, is that the release of the final version doesn't quite feel Taste of dirt mac os. the same. So, even though it's only been two weeks since 3.0 came out..it feels like it was released months ago.

- With that last bit of explanation, I'm happy to say that we've reached the end of this particular voyage. 3.0 (release 100!) is done, and you'll find the download in the normal places, as well as in the built-in updater, for both Beta and Regular users.
- The Last Leviathan is a physics-based, ship building and destruction sandbox. On your voyage to uncover where The Last Leviathan lies you will discover a world full of rival ships, mythical monsters, wrecked flotsam, physics-puzzles and hidden treasures.
- You can switch to the official, final release, but take a moment first. As you may already have found, your Mac's Software Update has kept you on the beta track — and that means you've been.
The 3.0 release has actually gone incredibly smoothly. The extended beta managed to attract a large number of diverse system configurations, and that helped us ensure that any post-release issues would be..obscure. And, indeed, they have been!
Pulling the Right Levers
A program like SuperDuper! needs to make choices about how to interface with the system. There are many different layers, and we try to choose appropriately, depending on what we're doing.
To ensure a maximum level of compatibility, it's incredibly important to work at as high a level as possible for any given activity. For example, when SuperDuper! needs to erase a drive, it would be a huge mistake to actually jump down to the driver level and start mucking with drive structures.
Instead, we do the sensible thing: we ask Disk Utility to do it for us.
Talk to the Command
Disk Utility, though, is what's called a command-line tool: you can run it yourself, from the Terminal application, if you want to: type
diskutil
to see what it does, and man diskutil
for its documentation. Much of macOS is built upon these Unix tools, and (where appropriate), so is some of SuperDuper.When you talk to a tool like this, though, you have to both check its 'return value' (basically, a rough 'I worked!' or 'I failed!'), and its text output (which says why it worked or failed, or gives you an answer to a question you asked).
Some of these tools (
diskutil
, hdiutil
, etc) will format their output in plist
format: basically, a structured XML document that's far more predictable, easier to parse, and more reliable. So rather than returning 'Drive formatted as HFS+', it might return (intentionally simplified)which is obviously less friendly to people, but a lot better for programs trying to figure out what's going on.
This plist output's advantage is that its structure is strictly defined. It has a prologue, a series of tags and values, and an end. This is all guaranteed.
Samsung!
So, when a few users started getting some crazy, inexplicable errors (typically, an error indicating that a volume that was there couldn't be accessed), we were shocked to find, after doing some extensive investigation, that a Samsung SMART driver (based on an open source project) was actually polluting
diskutil
's output with a bunch of debugging/progress junk.Needless to say, this prevented parsing of the output, and resulted in a stream of invective that did not diminish for many minutes. So frustrating. But fixed.
Various Improvements
That was the big one. But we also fixed a number of other things:
- Finally fixed the update animation bug! So, if you install 3.0.1, the next release is going to show up properly in all cases. This time for sure!This took such a long time to fix because it was entirely timing related and didn't happen in the debugger. But, we figured it out. So embarrassing. Gonna miss you, you little rascal. (Please don't darken our UI door ever again.)
- Settings conversion related quit issues
- More reliable sleep prevention during a copy
- Supports encrypted destination volumes on 10.12
- Restored 10.9 support
I also took some time over the past week to turn on SSL for Shirt Pocket, so site access and downloads are all being done securely.
Happy Thanksgiving
So, with that, from our families to yours, have a Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy SuperDuper! 3.0.1, which is available via the built-in updater, from the web site, or here:
M/V Lyubov Orlova, via Lilpop,Rau & Loewenstein in the Antarctic, 17 February 2010
UPDATE Jan. 24, 2013: Cannibal Rat-Infested Ghost Ship Story Hijacks the Internet -FAQ
Update: According to data from the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency obtained by AFP, the derelict Lyubov Orlova has been spotted roughly 1,300 nautical miles off the coast of Ireland at coordinates 49-22.70N and 044-51.34W.
Original (Feb. 3): The deck of the M/V Lyubov Orlova could be the loneliest place on earth right now.
Last Voyage Of The Orlova Beta Mac Os 11
The derelict cruise ship escaped death by the shipbreakers in the Dominican Republic after her towing cable parted shortly after leaving St. John’s, Newfoundland last week only to face an uncertain fate while drifting alone on the cold, dark, and unforgiving north Atlantic Ocean.
Fearing a possible collision with oil and gas installations off eastern Canada, the Lyubov Orlova was secured by the Atlantic Hawk anchor handler on the 31st of January however, after the ship drifted into international waters yesterday, Transport Canada has decided to cut her loose.
“The Lyubov Orlova no longer poses a threat to the safety of offshore oil installations, their personnel or the marine environment. The vessel has drifted into international waters and given current patterns and predominant winds, it is very unlikely that the vessel will re-enter waters under Canadian jurisdiction,” the department said in a statement.
Safety concerns were cited by Transport Canada in their reason to not pursue a salvage operation to retrieve the ship.
The ship is is located at approximately 250 nautical miles east of St. John’s, NL (approximately 50 nautical miles outside Canada’s territorial waters) and drifting northeasterly. If left alone she could end up almost anywhere from the Norwegian arctic, to western Africa, or stuck in the middle of the North Atlantic gyre.
Transport Canada reiterates that the owner of the vessel remains responsible for its movements, and they note that measures have been taken to monitor the position of the drifting ship.
