I was told by a tech today that Contact and UpToDate should, but the Server and Server Manager won't work until an update is released or Night Hawk (MacWorld+...?)
However that was based on the last Beta Now got a while back.
The applications run all right, but so far I have been unable to get QuickDay or QuickContact. I tried reinstalling; that didn't help. I'm going to try removing everything connected with the program and reinstalling to see what happens.
I would at least like to know if the basic application connects OK and syncs with a server from a client running Leopard and Now Contact 5.3.1 I have 5 Mac to test this with and will try and client machine and report back.
I have to go out and get Leopard, but watch for my response in the next couple days. I can live without QuickContact and not upgrading the server just yet (I've had that same situation 3 times already), but the client has to run and sync.

Apple has removed the ability for third parties to run Menu Extensions. This happens on every major OS release. It remains to be seen if third parties can hack their way in yet again.

We'll be doing further testing with the released version of Leopard in the days ahead. Apple does not seed developers with the final release, and they tend to make a lot of changes in the weeks leading up to a release. If anyone finds bugs, please report them to [url=mailto:support@nowsoftware.com]mailto:support@nowsoftware.com[/url].

Not totally accurate. i do have my other menu extension running quite nicely - iClock.
I just took a look at how iClock works. They use MenuCracker to enable their menu extras. We are currently using MenuExtraEnabler which hasn't yet been updated for Leopard (http://unsanity.com/products/compatibility/). Good to know that MenuCracker is working under the released version of Leopard. It provides us with a backup plan if MenuExtraEnabler isn't brought up to date soon.

Cool! I just downloaded a copy to take a look at how the implemented their menu extras. Thanks for the info!
John,
If you are interested in looking at another program to see how their menu location is implemented, take a look at WeatherPop. I am using version 2.6.1 and it is appearing in the menu bar as well.
