Mac Users, fire up the update: 10.5.2 is here

Apple just dropped the long expected 10.5.2 update for the Leopard. It tops at about 380 MB - which means it should add a lot of code revision and improvements (at least internally).

Also - TUAW reports that games are running faster with the new update

Thank you Apple!

(Wish Microsoft was like this at times. Where’s that SP1 again?)

Update: Gizmodo reports on what the update packs:

• Airport connection reliability and stability (we’ve noticed some problems personally, and so have you)

• Back to my Mac for third-party routers
• Dashboard widget performance improvement
• Stacks fix! List view, Folder view, and updated background for Grid Vid View
• Menubar transparency disabling
• Less translucent menus
• Several iCal recurring meetings supports, bug fixes overall
• iChat Bugfixes
• iSync support added for Samsung D600E and D900i phones
• Finder bugfixes
• Mail bugfixes
• AFP network volume hanging fixed
• RAW support improved
• Preview bugfixes
• Time Machine bugfixes (some external drives not being recognized)

There’s also a Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 that comes after you install the 10.5.2 update, which according to Ars, it’s just a set up updated graphics card drivers.

Thanks Giz!
