[mmmbop]

Jagwire's swansong?

And I was hoping to see Panther appear in my Mac OS X Software Update panel

OK, what happened to 10.2.7?

Also, I haven't seen yet if this addresses the SSH vulnerability found a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know for sure?

10.2.8 includes 10.2.7

I concur - maybe they unreleased it.

Works for me:

Hmm, I wonder what they fixed in Safari.

 

[evilbert420]

So this would imply that 10.2.7 was a G5-only build? And that maybe 10.2.9 may bring back the code to a common build? Or will we have to wait for Panther for common code?

 

[madrobby]

Also, my download window seem to be stalled... Bar goes nowhere the last 5 minutes...

Strangely, some people are having trouble loading the knowledge base article. here are the list of enhancements

 

[madrobby]

Bluetooth enhancements? Maybe the next iSync release is really not so far away then... Hope my Symbian-based Nokia syncs with iCal soon...

UPDATE: The knowledge base link works now for me, thx for the info arn.

 

[XForge]

Not available from the downloads page - what if you're behind a firewall? Software Update hasn't worked from inside our corporate firewall in like, forever.

Yeah really, I think 10.2.7 is the best Update since 10.2 from 10.1

No.

No no no no no .

I don't have a G5 and I am running 10.2.7

It is really stable IMO, and I haven't seen 10.2.8 as stable...

That is strange. I couldn't link to it from the above link. Although I got to the page by navigating through the apple site.

Now to sit back and read about what happens when one updates to 10.2.8.

 

[seamuskrat]

No server version yet

No sign os a 10.2.8 server update in SUCP yet. I am not even sure of they are working on a 'server' variant of this update, but they always have in the past.

won't install on the G5

From Apple info page
Important: This update works only with Power Mac G3- and G4-based desktop and portable computers, including iMac, eMac, and iBook. This update does not work with Power Mac G5 computers.

10.2.7

I got one of those shiny new Aluminum Powerbooks and I have 10.2.7. *shrug*

 

[dswoodley]

not impressed...on the whole everything is slower.

 

[Macmaniac]

I installed it, everythings running fine
Now if only I could have patches contain game enhancements that would be sweet!

 

[skymaXimus]

new keyboard and mouse icon, new for x.2 anyway.
Also, I can no long minimize in place, i have to minimize to the dock.

 

[FattyMembrane]

safari is at version 85.5 and installing it over the smoothstripes theme has not caused any problems so far.

it could just be my imagination, but it feels just the tiniest bit snappier on my imacG3.

EDIT: also, there's now a bluetooth tab in the keyboard/mouse prefpane, regardless of whether or not you have a bluetooth mouse.
