Apple Inc. has released OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Developer Preview 2 for developers of Mac applications, a tech site reported over the weekend.
 
But The Next Web said Apple also posted a list of known issues and bugs with the latest upcoming operating system for Mac computers.
 
The Next Web said the known issues include:
  • 32-bit kernel extensions are not supported in Mountain Lion
  • AirPlay mirroring is not supported with the with the current version of the Apple TV software
  • The Game Center Server environment is set to Sandbox. Existing Sandbox accounts may be used, or you may create
  • In the sandbox environment, Game & Friend Recommendations are not supported - Friends can view games in common but not friends’ other games
  • Photos are not supported
  • No email vetting and friend requests to un-vetted email addresses are allowed
  • No support for out of network friend requests is provided

  • Some of the Game Detail information does not display
  • No badges shown for Friend Requests
  • Peer-to-Peer GameKit API is not supported
  • Leaderboards, Achievements, or Players may be displayed incorrectly.
 
The new Notes application does not currently import the following types of notes:
 
  • Microsoft Exchange
  • Notes existing in sub-folders of IMAP accounts
  • Local notes in an “On My Mac” account
 
Notes shared via Messages may not include note content while Screen Sharing may not work between OS X Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard or earlier OS X releases.
 
AppleScript is not fully functional in this Developer Preview, it added.
 
As such, AppleScripts used to launch Applications which are not already open will time out while AppleScripts may not be able to send AppleEvents to Mail.
 
The DVD Player may not launch after inserting a DVD on some systems while DVD Movie Playback does not work on certain NVIDIA GPUs.
 
Horizontal metrics for Apple SD Gothic Neo are narrower than in AppleGothic.
 
Video content with displays that use HDCP may experience graphics corruption on certain NVIDIA GPUs. Enabling display rotation causes kernel panic on certain NVIDIA GPUs.
 
Signing into Setup Assistant with your AppleID does not sign you into iCloud. NSDocument-based applications which use auto-save & iCloud entitlements will be opted into the new Document Library automatically. The option to disable this is not currently available.
 
Kernel, kexts, and zones are now based at unpredictable addresses at each boot.
 
Panics may occur when a Port Multiplier or PCI eSATA drive is attached.
 
While booted into the Recovery Partition, you may be unable to connect to WiFi networks.
 
Safari does not function in the Recovery Partition, and restoring from network backups in the Recovery Partition may fail.
 
“Developers can download the new release from the Apple Developer Center directly. At this point it does not appear as an update in the Mac App Store,” The Next web said. — TJD, GMA News
