That sure is a super-long list of fixes! Looking forward to it.

Thanks a bunch- my issue isn't specifically mentioned...looks like I may be out of luck.

The only way to be sure Apple is aware of your issue is to submit a thorough bug report (using their provided template) at bugreport.apple.com.

Nice to read that Apple is still in bug fixing mode.

Leopard really wasn't ready when it shipped. All of my friends at Apple agree that Leopard was sub-par and not worthy of the Apple brand when it shipped. But there was no way the powers were going to allow two slips. "Too Microsoft." was heard.

And it looks like 10.5.3 is coming just in time with institutional word spreading about the quality issues. (They are also spreading about the hardware issues too, but that's a different post.)

Anyway, I am happy Apple is taking their time with 10.5.3 and working hard to make it stable.

I am not happy about the Leopard release--it reflects a lot of things wrong with Apple nowadays--but I am glad they are not dribbling out the bug fixes.

Hopefully--hopefully--10.5.3 is the release we should have gotten in the first place.

Nevermind. 🙂

that's a huge list of fixes. Good to see a list of fixes too. I bet in software update the description it will just say it will improve stability and addresses a number of security issues.

No doubt. Not sure why Apple feels the need to hide all this behind their agreements, it would impress technical users to see that they are changing more things and fixing more bugs with each release...

I'm not saying force it down the average Joe Blow's neck but at least post the change log somewhere for tech users to read and understand.

I'll try to keep the updated fix list in each build from here out.

They do when its released. Not during beta.

That fix list is indeed impressive. I can't see what on it translates to "Excel 2008 no longer causes complete machine lockups when zooming windows", but that could easily be because I don't understand most of the fixes 🙂.

Printing Authroization

I have read, and hope it is the case, the lunacy with regard to printing to a shared windows printer has been fixed. It might be something to do with the directory services that have been listed as fixed - I hope so.

I currently have to print to pdf copy that to my windows machine and then print from that - madness.

What macs are they?
My imac seems to freeze when logging out if its been asleep can't figure out if its leopard or a hardware problem.

I think It's a leopard problem. The exact same thing happened to be today. I logged out and then received these spinning gears and evetually had to restart the computer.
