So PO is saying they can't pony up the $99 or so to get developer status so that they could have had access to the multitude of DP and GM RC versions of 10.10 ?
LOL.
Phase One of course has developer status with both Microsoft and Apple, and test on early beta OSs, late beta OSs, GM OSs, and final release OSs. They often make bug reports to each during the beta process on developer hooks which aren't working as-advertised.
But Apple has a long history of making changes between the Gold Master they give developers and the download provided to the public. In the case of Capture One, since it relies heavily on leveraging powerful (but sometimes finicky) hooks like OpenCL even small changes can be highly problematic. Moreover they use SDKs provided by Canon, Nikon, and Sony, so if any of those SDKs show a problem in a new OS it will be blamed on Phase One.
All signs are that C1 runs beautifully under 10.10. But it's good advice from Phase One to wait at least one OS update and at least one C1 update before committing to such an update for professional, mission critical workflows.
If you would like to be a guinea pig, please feel free. If you do, please report (via a support case at phaseone.com) any problems you have.
C1 is professional software, and it's assumed that professionals do not update to new OS's the same day they are released (or in the first few weeks) they are available, at least on any
production machines.
