10.2.8 Downloads, iCal 1.5 and iSync 1.2?

Apple's Knowledge Base Update email was sent out this morning and listed the new updates available at Apple's website. These include downloadable installers for OS X 10.2.8:





However, Apple's email also mentions some (as of yet) unreleased applications:





The links for these items in the email currently direct users to the current versions of Apple's applications, but the releases should be expected shortly.

mongo - a guy named MCroft mentioned he had ethernet troubles but fixed them. See his post:

about half way down.

Hope this helps. Altho I agree you shouldn't NEED to fix ANYTHING. I think I'll sit on 10.2.6 a little longer.

My Quicksilver was very sluggish until I fixed permissions. Now it's fine.

I just updated to 10.2.8 form 10.2.6 on a PowerMac G4 400 MHz PCI Graphics: the oldest of the G4 powermacs.

It feels, to me, that there is some improvement in the responsiveness of the UI, though I may only be imagining such. Though the Knowledge Base article makes no mention of enchancments to QuickTime, the performance of QuickTime player seems to me dramatically enhanced.

I haven't had time to find out which, if any, of my apps are broken. Most of my OS parts are standard (except for Windowshade X, Kensington's Mouseworks, and Wacom's Tablet software). The customized parts of my software include PHP, MySQL, and some PERL modules. So far, everything's up.

I'll edit back later with both thumbs-ups and blow-ups.

Mac OS X Update Combo 10.2.8 (for 10.2-10.2.5)


Does this mean the combo updater won't work if you have 10.2.6? I've always used combo updaters as they seem to have fewer problems. Also, it's easier to keep them on file in the event of a future reinstall/update process.

I am wondering if anyone has any info regarding the support of this phone in iSync. Specifically, when (if ever) will this phone be supported?
Thanks!

The Combo Updater worked fine on my 10.2.6 and this is also stated in another KB article which can be reached from the combo updater page.

The above informtion seems to be a typo (by Apple)
