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.

A2DP please?
written by Kichigai, December 28, 2007
Here's hoping Apple will fix A2DP. I've got issues where my Mac drops my A2DP connection, but drops nothing else, yet every other non-Mac my headphones pair with work perfectly.
Fix Sleep Mode Bug
written by Michael Penner, December 28, 2007
Macs with Leopard sometimes don't come out of sleep mode. This can be a REAL bummer if you're trying to save power and be green. It gets even worse if you're using a KVM switch. Hope they fix it.
Not sure
written by gray_hat, December 28, 2007
Apple's developer updates are often larger than the final result. This is because of some debug code that gets left in when it is built for developers and the fact that Apple has no need to optimize the size of it's code to the same level it does for it's consumers for developer builds.
Unsupported Macs
written by j_Ack, December 29, 2007
Having an unsupported mac running Leopard I wonder if this update will cause any issues, hopefully not, my dual G4 loves Leopard and the increased speed it gave me!
