Mammoth update ahead for Leopard

Business IT - Technology

Developers have received their first pre-release build of the Mac OS X 10.5.2 updater, and it's a biggie.

Weighing in at over 350M, the wide-ranging update affects many different visible and under-the-hood aspects of Leopard's operation.

Changes have reportedly been made to the Finder, iCal, iChat, Mail, Safari and Time Machine, along with fixes for Rosetta, AirPort (this one's for you, Sam!) and other components including the CUPS printing system and grammar checking.

One modification that will be very welcome when 10.5.2 does arrive is that Leopard's Stacks feature is said to have been modified to provide a 'List' view resembling the traditional hierarchical display of the contents of a folder in the Dock.

The 10.5.2 update could appear as early as next month, possibly to coincide with Macworld Expo.
