FileMaker Software and Mac OS X Leopard

[FMWebschool]

FileMaker's official post on their support for the new Macintosh OS X Leopard -

We are very excited about the release of Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5). We are currently working on Leopard compatibility updates for FileMaker Pro 9, FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced, FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker Server 9 Advanced. At this time FileMaker does not recommend the use of FileMaker 9 products on computers running the Mac OS X Leopard.

We also do not recommend the use of earlier versions of FileMaker software on the Mac OS X Leopard because we have not performed compatibility testing on them.

I realize this is an early question, but do you have any news concerning FM Studio [updates & modules] compatibility with OS X 10.5>

Hi Greg,

We will not be able to test the functionality of FMStudio with Leopard until we can actually run FileMaker and FileMaker server on the system.  As soon as they are available to us we will make the necessary changes and update as quickly as possible.  We will definitely keep everyone informed with our progress.

We are very excited about the release of Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5).  FileMaker Pro 9 and FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced generally run on Leopard although there are two known issues.  We are targeting a downloadable update to be available on November 19, 2007, free of charge.  Please subscribe to FileMaker News for the latest on update availability.
 
Here are the known issues with FileMaker Pro 9 and FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced on Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5):

The Instant Web Publishing feature does not work.
Each language version of FileMaker Pro 9 and FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced works only when the Mac OS System Preference "International Formats Region" is set to a specific region.  For example, the English language version of FileMaker works only when the region is United States. It does not work when the region is United Kingdom, or Australia, or France, or any other region. See below for additional information.
FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker Server 9 Advanced currently do not deploy properly on Leopard. We are working on Leopard compatibility updates for FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker Server 9 Advanced but do not have an estimated availability date at this time.
 
We have not tested earlier (pre-FileMaker 9) versions of FileMaker software on Mac OS X Leopard and do not intend to release updates for earlier versions.
 
Additional Information regarding International Formats:

Here is a matrix of the language and region combinations that work. All other combinations cause FileMaker to quit if you open or create a database.
