Like the subject says... maybe we can turn this into an unofficial 10.5.2 thread?

Apple has released the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard update. The 180MB download is now available via Software Update, and a restart is required after installation:

The 10.5.2 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.

For detailed information on this update, please visit this website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307109.
For detailed information on security updates, please visit this website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61798.
A number of improvements are detailed, but some highlights are listed here:

- Airport: Improves connection reliability and stability
- Back to my Mac: Adds support for more third-party routers, as detailed in this article.
- Dock: Updates Stacks with a List view option, a Folder view option, and an updated background for Grid view.
- Desktop: Addresses legibility issues with the menu bar with an option to turn off transparency in Desktop & Screen Saver preferences.
- Desktop: Adjusts menus to be slightly-less translucent overall.
- iSync: Adds support for Samsung D600E and D900i phones.
- RAW Image: Adds RAW image support for several cameras, as detailed in this article.
- Safari: Addresses issues with Safari reliably resolving certain domains.
- Time Machine: Adds a menu bar option for accessing Time Machine features (the menu extra can be enabled in Time Machine preferences).
- Time Machine: Improves backup reliability when computer name contains slash or non-ASCII characters.
- Time Machine: Addresses issues in which some external drives are not recognized by Time Machine.

The final build number of Mac OS X 10.5.2 is 9C31, the same as the last developer's build. Once you install Mac OS X 10.5.2, readers should recheck their software update, as the Leopard Graphics Update appears once 10.5.2 is installed.

works well on hackintosh?

 

[Illusio]

My update is 341mb, not 108mb

 

[Kmax82]

mine was 180mb. A bit disappointed about them disabling GrowlMail, but the speed definitely makes up for it. Everything just feels snappier.

 

[KeithP]

On the new Mac Pro I am using it is 341MB.

Neat. After the initial week or two, my Powerbook has been kinda chugging along.

Yes but you have to do some tweaks while applying the update: (i.e. don't download from Software Update)

got the 180MB 10.5.2 update, as well as the 50MB leopard graphics update as well. no problems here!

I downloaded 10.5.2 today. it installed and then it rebooted twice. I cannot say I noticed any differences. I never checked Software update again though and I'm too lazy to start it up right now.

What does the Leopard Graphics Update do?

My download was 180 mb also.

 

[TheStu]

The main things that I have noticed is that the runaway processes I had no longer seem to afflict me. No more SysLogD, no more DirectoryService, WindowServer doesn't freak out when I use Flash on Safari... Basically it seems to have taken the good experience that I was having 95% of the time, and made that happen 100% of the time.

What Leopard Graphics Update? As we have the same laptop you have listed, can you point
me in the direction.

Thanks!

My update (macbook pro) was 341mb plus the additional graphics driver update and even quicktime (I forgot to update that days ago). Lots of updating and restarts! Why such a difference in size with the 10.5.2 updates? I should check to see if there are any mac drivers for windows updates later.

 

[DnetMHZ]

I like the "Backup Now" option in Time Machine. I was hoping they would add that.

 

[Dean]

Anyone suddenly have broken wireless access since upgrading? I can connect to any router now, but cannot get any flow of data at all. Time for a re-install I guess.

 

[erikistired]

my wireless isn't dropping at all now.

as far as the graphics update, just hit software update after you install 10.5.2 and you'll get the option to download it.

I grabbed the Combo dmg since I have two Macs. The mini seems okay now, and I'll update the MBP later today.

Been having sporadic WiFi drops on the MBP, I think because 2.4 GHz is so "dirty". Leopard no longer has a visible "Interface Robustness" option, although who knows if that really helped. I would be happy if WiFi is more stable in the new update, else I might have to buy yet another wireless router.
