(moderation:
A new MacOS PPC App is available from our Beta Test page.
This is a new App for MacOS PPC that uses the same "App switching" mechanism we have in the 4.38 Linux App, here to distinguish between AltiVec- and G3 machines. The AltiVec App is identical to the 4.29 (speedup might be under discussion, but it shouldn't be a slowdown). The G3 App should be slightly faster than the 4.03 and "G3 clean", i.e. shouldn't throw "signal 4" (illegal instruction) exceptions.
The app_info.xml should allow for "smooth" transition from App versions 4.03 and 4.29, i.e. work already assigned to these versions should be finished with it (checkpoint of 4.29 and 4.41 are compatible, but the link structure in the slots directory is not).
Plese test and report!

Looks like this App has been obsoleted before it made it to "official" status by development of the Core Client (see the Intel thread). I'll publish another one for MacOS PPC soon; the App will largely be the same for G3, I'm trying to speed up the AltiVec code a bit.
