[Rumor] More info on Panther 7B21

We had announced on July, 24th that a new 7B21 seed of Panther was sent to beta testers. Since that news, Think Secret gave some information on this version. Here are a few more from a very productive US source.
- Version 7B21 is extremely stable. As under Windows XP, Apple inserted a crash reporter that will automatically report any bug to them. No-one could tell if this feature is to be maintained in the final version.
- It is now possible to compress data (.zip format) directly via the Finder, a bit like what Stuffit's True Finder Integration does.
- Firevault, users' data encryption technology, is not yet implemented.
- This version is even faster than the preceding one. And we've been told there's still room for improving windows display speed.
- Exposé has been refined and its effects improved. If we mask the windows, a small portion of them remains visible to indicate their "hidden" presence.
- Address Book may now be synchronized with Ms Exchange.
- Finder preferences were entirely renewed.
- A simplified Aqua look is available for the Finder, instead of brushed metal. In that case, there's no toolbar on top, nor any column on the side.
- Here are the versions of some utilities as found in this seed: iCal 1.1, iSync 1.2, Safari 1.1, iChat 2.0, QuickTime 6.4, Mail 1.3, TextEdit 1.3, AddressBook 3.1
We also received some screenshots to illustrate those info, but we've chosen not to publish them so that we're not forced to clear them in a few hours.
