Just a quick text report. Installed the update and it went swimmingly. The Powerbook has no real library to speak of, so it was very quick update. When I saw that it seemed safe and stable, I did the G5 late last night (after ApertureCast was done). The update was quick and then on launch, you get the 'Library Upgrade' warning. I have 46,425 images and it took about 1.5 hours to update the library. **Now, I'll know after doing more work on jobs, but it really seems snappier to me. ** Maybe it's the function of the preview updates they listed, but I don't know... just seems faster. Kind of like when you know there's a certain annoying glitch in your car, and you wait for it to happen and it's gone... I keep waiting for the slowness and it seems oddly absent. I'll report in more later in a 'Cast, but for now, I'm pleased. I didn't have any bad bugs, so I can't report on the fixes... sorry. Hey, and thanks to all of you folks for tuning it.. the last ApertureCast is getting record downloads (for little-old me, now for TWiT ;-) and Apple has it as a Tech, Software How-To Featured show... Huzzah! Thanks everyone!

Apple released the update a few hours ago. They say it addresses 'more that 100 issues related to overall reliability and performance.' Full info in the first Comment below.
