John, update please. Servers are still not working. Very hard to conduct business. I recommend you take manpower off the NightHawk project until you can get our servers up and running on Leopard.
Yes, that is what we did. Our development for that is now done and we are in testing. The new NUDC 5.3.2 release is for Tiger and Leopard. Customers with 10.3 and earlier should continue using NUDC 5.3.1.

I'm also anxious to get Leopard up and running on all our machines. However, if the fix for 5.3.1 server is anything other than simple, I'd personally prefer you guys to not divert resources from Nighthawk. Nighthawk has been too long delayed to be sidetracked for a very temporary problem for 5.3.1.
We've left one of our boxes on 10.4.1 so it can run the servers.
Not everyone can afford to do that. And while I appreciate the sentiment regarding Nighthawk, given the current schedule a fully functioning Nighthawk is still months away. Only the contact module (and without a server) is currently in beta. It's coming along nicely, and looks like it's going to turn out well; but it's just not there. After 10.5.1 releases, which is expected to be soon, the "second wave" upgraders will jump to Leopard and this sort of problem is going to heat up.
So.... How's the testing coming? I hope you will have a release soon. I check to downloads everyday in hopes of seeing a new one appear. Also I think the natives are starting to get restless.
Our internal testing is completed and we're about to move it into beta. Kim and Mark are putting together the documentation now. When the Now Up-to-Date & Contact 5.3.2 beta is ready, we'll make a post about how to download it.

John: Will v5.3.2 correct the previously reported, and acknowledged, bug in v5.3.1 that causes duplicate entries to appointments to appear in a Now Contact’s record when that contact has been linked to an appointment in Now Up-to-Date? While I’m still expecting NightHawk to clean up such existing duplicate entries in the contact’s record when we upgrade to it, it would a very big relief if we aren’t, in the meantime, continuing to generate such duplicate entries with v5.3.2.

NUDC 5.3.2 does not. Our focus on NUDC 5.3.2 were to fix the critical bugs that prevent NUDC from being used with Leopard.

Since I understand that the NUTD & NC clients work fine under Leopard, would I be safe upgrading to Leopard on the computer that only has the clients, leaving the server on Tiger until the Now Server software is updated? I think my software from Now is the last I was waiting for to be cleared as Leopard-compatible.
Can't you post something that at least gets the server(s) working under Leopard? I'm all for beta testing, but I have calendars that aren't syncing and need to get the event server going! Wife is about to kill me.
