Questions tagged [osx-leopard]

Leopard is the code name of Mac OS X version 10.5, the Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. This is for questions about programming specifically relevant to this operating system; questions about general use of it are off-topic.

Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5) is the sixth major release of Mac OS X, Apple’s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.

Leopard was released on 26 October 2007 as the successor of Tiger (version 10.4), and is available in two variants: a desktop version suitable for personal computers, and a server version, Mac OS X Server.

Steve Jobs stated at Macworld 2008 that over 20% of Macs use Leopard as their operating system.

Leopard was superseded by Snow Leopard (version 10.6). Leopard is the final version of Mac OS X to support the PowerPC architecture as Snow Leopard functions solely on Intel based Macs.
