Hi. RunRev 1.1.1 seems to work perfectly on Jaguar, except for two bugs 
that have easy workarounds. Let me know if you want to know what those 
are.

When I upgraded to Jaguar, none of my OS X apps broke. Except 1; the 
carbon build of Emacs. It's kind of peculiar case though, and it's a 
beta release anyways.

A lot of OS X developers that are working in C or Objective-C are going 
to be requiring 10.2 or higher for their next software releases. Apple 
added a lot new features and lots of fixes to the Carbon and Cocoa 
frameworks and it's not going to be easy to maintain compatibility with 
10.0 - 10.1.x. So I recommend to upgrade to 10.2 asap. The good news is 
a some of the features added in 10.2 will support much better backwards 
compatibility in 10.3, 10.4 etc.

Also the 10.2.2 update broke at least one app I know if (Carbon build 
of Emacs) which required a rebuild of that app. Again that's kind of a 
peculiar app though.
