Lion

The moniker for OSX 10.7, released via the App Store on 2011-07-20.

This page holds what little notes I have on it (the and pages are mostly applicable as well, since very little in those became deprecated).

Notes

Bugs

The initial build had a somewhat odd bug in which a corrupted Trash folder would cause repeated crashes, which could be fixed by doing:

sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
