Leopard 10.5.2 update
Contents
Apple released today the 10.5.2 update. After over a year and half with Mac platform (and over 2 months on Mac only work environment) I become fearless and installed update without too much worries :-). Year ago, I guess I would be quite concerned whether the Service Pack will or will not render my work notebook useless with unreparable registry ... I still remember the fun after SP2 got installed ...
But back to the topic. Upgrade went smooth and after 2 bangs (reboots) everything seems to work OK. Finally there is an option to "tigerize" the translucent menu, without add-ons and hacks. Time machine has small menu item to access preferences. The update promises WiFi improvements (tests pending). What seems not get fixed is the annoying rfc1323 TCP/IP stack setting (see here).
So far the only things broken is the Beta version of fantastic little utility Library books (highly recommended - it does support many libraries, including our). The error message that comes after the program start says:
[sourcecode language='java']
NSInvalidArgumentException

[/sourcecode]
What helps is to roll back to version 2.5 which works just fine.
