Anyone know if this fixes the RAM problems?

This list of fixes pretty much goes after the entire Aperture experience. Let's hope that Apple made this release a solid bug fixer!

Kudos to Apple for making it happen quickly. -1 for causing the need for it to happen.

The changelog does mention memory usage, so assume it does.

Anyone else having a problem installing this update? My updater doesn't even find it and the download from the site doesn't even install.

Agreed!

Nice list of fixes, including one that was bugging me (bizarre stuff happened when image had been straightened)

I have it installed.

RAM usage is hovering around 1GB right now. I would say that is an improvement. Since I was easily using 5 to 8GB before the update.

I'll give it another try when I get back home... Still probably won't upgrade quite yet since I'm still rocking a g5.
