As some of you may have marked it, the update of Tiger to 10.4.3 is available. A few important things to know beforehand:
- This is a heavy update, the combo is 105 MB, and the smallest automatic update is "only" 57 MB.
- A lot of things are changed, in particular in Core Audio, so I strongly recommend not to try it on productive computers, let some try it before.
- Prepare your OS before the update, verify all is well (drive, permissions). Repair permissions after too as usual.
- note that the update include previous security updates, as they seem to be a source of problems for some plug-ins, especially in Cubase, beware! (see the forum on this issue).

The exciting other stuff: Safari pass the acidtest, that is, it is the only browser out there fully W3C compliant for CSS. Lots of fixes in Spotlight, syncing, Mail, networking, iChat… Now the Disk Utility can verify the Mac OS X 10.4 startup volume (Yeahhh! at last!)

Also, Apple stated again but this time with a strong warning that Quartz 2D Extreme is still unsupported but this time it leads to kernel panics if enabled, you're warned, it's true!

No news of a iPumpKin Widget though… ;)
