Apple Releases Aperture Update, Responds To Rumors
Apple today released Aperture 1.1.1, a minor release to its professional photo editing and workflow application. According to Macworld, issues addressed in the update include a white balance bug and a fix for a false "incompatible display" warning.
Perhaps more significantly, Apple also responded to a recent report by Think Secret of Apple's Aperture team getting broken up.
Think Secret's report has come under scrutiny, with many pointing to an Apple programmer's blog stating that he has been recently been transfered to the Aperture team. Apple's statements today seem to support the notion that Apple is maintaining strong development support of Aperture, although they do not necessarily refute the notion that the original team may have been disbanded.

"The reports of Apple reducing their commitment to Aperture are totally false," Kirk Paulsen, Apple's Senior Director Pro Applications Marketing, told Macworld. "In fact, we've got more people working on Aperture right now than ever before."

Good to hear they are dispelling the rumors. I've got a lot invested in the program.

Could be that Apple is just starting from scratch (regarding the Aperture team).
Or at least did a major change in management and staff on the project.

Don't think so - Gruber's had a couple of great articles on this rumor.

This is great news. I always found it curious that Apple would abandon Aperture, as it is just getting started and has a lot of potential - glad to hear now that this isn't the case after all and that Aperture well be around far beyond its 1.1.1 incarnation. :cool:

It's good to know that Apple's developer's do not have the job security of say government workers... If you aren't performing you will be replaced... and if your whole team is underperforming it will be disbanded and we will start from scratch.
I'll feel much better about my upcoming Aperture purchase now that the abandonment rumor has been dispelled.

And now you actually have a machine you can use to run it (or at least you will soon)!

I am really happy to hear this, I was wondering why Apple would stop development on software this early but I am glad to see the update and hopefully version 2 with some really good new features.

I think that Apple was feeling the heat from Adobe Lightroom. Maybe Steve just wants to stay ahead of Adobe on this one.
