The cross-platform pdf viewer catches my eye: won't need to launch my reports 
in the 
system-default pdf viewer anymore.

All new Macs for the past 5 years or so have been 64-bit. The OS itself has 
been 
completely 64-bit for about 2. There is no trouble running 32-bit applications 
on 
64-bit Macs.

I think Mac support with 2.9 will be so much better than with 2.8, but the fact 
is 
what I have with 2.8 works, and it is painful to keep my three build systems in 
sync 
with the same versions of stuff, and all working.

Probably Summer of 2011, I'll try an upgrade to wx 2.9.x, and likely python 2.7 
at 
the same time. But only if all the third-party packages I rely on are available 
on 
all platforms for those versions as well.
