MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 Released

In all the iPhone prerelease hype n hoopla, mbp soft update is not even announced on any of the big mac sites!
If we knew... it would be from the link.
BTW, you might want to fix up the link, you have the URL and name backwards. (I fixed the version in my reply)
I am downloading it now. Still waiting for the Optimizing to finish.
The OpenGL framework update would be great. Comparing xbench benchmarks between my 2.2 MBP and my brothers 2.16 MBP... I beat him on everything except the OpenGL test.
The default LCD Color Profile was also updated!
I just switched it from my own calibration and it looks much better than it did with the default color profile that the MBPs (SR) shipped with!

OpenGL/video driver updates are much welcomed - Aperture has been super-crashy for me since upgrading from my old Powerbook to the new MBP, and the crash log pointed to calls in the GeForce OpenGL driver.
Fingers crossed this resolves the issue (and if so, thanks Apple for not forcing us to wait for Leopard).

What we know so far:
Update to the OpenGL Framework
Update to the Default Color LCD profile
I am also noticing that my MBP is running quite a bit cooler now as well.

I unpacked the update and its just an Nvidia driver and GL engine update. Definitely should be a good thing.
Note: From what I can see, the default LCD profile is not changed.
List of updated files inc...
/System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle
/System/Library/Extensions/GeForceGA.plugin
/System/Library/Extensions/GeForceVADriver.bundle
/System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV50Hal.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/NVDAResman.kext
/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/headers
/usr/libexec/oah/Shims/GLEngine.bundle
/usr/libexec/translate
Yeah, I was wrong about the LCD Profile....
I checked the modify date on mine and it was new, but I forgot I reinstalled the OS...
Sorry!
My MBP is running much cooler now though.
By any miracle does this fix the yellowing issue? Can someone who has the issue check and report back?
Edit: I saw the updated post that shows what was included in the update. Unless the video card driver had something to do with the yellowing I'm doubtful this update resolved the yellowing issue.

That is what I saw too. I reinstalled the OS so I thought that is why it showed that. Maybe it was updated. I know when I switched back it did look better to me, but that could have just been my own mind playing tricks on me.
MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 Released
![]()
Apple has released MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0, which "provides important bug fixes and is recommended for all 2.2/2.4GHz MacBook Pro models."
While Apple does not elaborate on the contents of the update, an analysis of the update package indicates that it contains improvements to the graphics subsystem, with updated nVidia graphics drivers and some updated OpenGL components.
Some initial benchmarks of the updated MacBook Pros had indicated some graphics scores lower than its predecesor. This had been speculated to be caused by faulty graphics drivers. This update would seem to be an attempt at correcting these issues.

Apple still makes computers?
I hope this solves some of the little issues that have been plaguing my poor powerbook (yeah yeah I know it's a mbp but powerbook sounds way sweeter)

I just checked software updates, nothing there for me.
I have the 2.33 GHz model, I'm not sure if it applies.
Edit: Nvm, I thought it was models 2.2 through 2.4; and not those two exclusively.
I guess I won't get it - but I wanted an update for my MBP!

This is quite possible - it's also great to be able to kick the cores into high gear when necessary through Energy Saver.

I was thinking the exact same thing. You can tell that all of the iPhone dev's switched back to their regularly scheduled Mac line duties .Worked great on my 17" High Res, uodated fine. My wife's 15" 2.4 LCD pdated and color balance seems much better on it now.... And yes seems to be running cooler with no increase in fan speed!!!!
