neostyle Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Apple seeds Mac OS X 10.4.2 8C21The combo updater is about 43 MB in size, currently. It'll try and fix the remaining bugs from 10.4 and 10.4.1. Apart from "general" usability and reliability, the note for the seed mentions - among other things - changes/fixes in the .Mac Notification Client, Automator, AddressBook, AppleScript, CoreGraphics, Display Preferences, Finder Search files, iCal, iDisk Syncing, iWork, JavaScriptCore, Mail, AirPort networking, Printing, Safari, Spotlight. Sounds like an interesting and well-needed updated. It's expected to have a rather short development cycle and will probably arrive in Software Update in mid June at the very latest. We'll continue to inform you about it, as we get more information. http://macintosh.fryke.com/cgi-bin/macnews...8#20050528_8c21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hills420 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 they are really cranking these out. Good to see they are committed to fixing bugs in a timely manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureLogic Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I hope they'll fix that hide at login bug for once, together with the unfixable Recovered files folders in the Trash problem and it would be nice seeing that iChatAgent isn't on (Not Responding) all the time.

simmorya Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I want Apple to work as hard as they can working on the bug fixes for 10.4.2. I dont care how long it takes them to do, aslong as its done properly. Dont wanna see them rush it out and only need to fix a ton more in 10.4.3. Would also like to see Spotlight have the ability to produce the file's information on screen as you type. (Something small i know, just handy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this bull**** story from the Apple helpdesk saying it's normal (yeah right, that's why I didn't have it before) and a guy at the Mac Store here told me it's a known issue but there isn't a fix for it yet.

Vice Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Problem is, you hear the trash sound (when you drag and drop items to the trash can) even when you are not doing that action. It is very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureLogic Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) What is the problem exactly? 585987496[/snapback] On restart or login the Trash is full even if you emptied it before, containing folders like Recovered files, Recovered files 1, Recovered files 2 etc. These folders mostly have downloaded files in them from iChat (avatars for example), attachments from Mail, cookies from Safari etc. I completely formatted my drive and it happens less frequent now but it's not totally gone. Haven't noticed much application build # changes in this 10.4.2 build. The .dmg package is about 43,2 MB in size. Still waiting for the magical moment that Mail and iChat will actually hide at login... To be perfectly honest with you guys, I haven't noticed any changes at all.

DjmUK Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Source: Mac Rumors Appleinsider claims that retail Mac OS X boxes will start shipping with Mac OS X 10.4.2 sometime this month. Meanwhile, the Mac OS X update should be released this week:Mac OS X 10.4.2, which is due for release from the company this week, will reportedly deliver over 80 fixes and enhancements to Tiger, in addition to those included with Mac OS X 10.4.1. Fixes listed include graphics drivers, Finder updates, improved autologin as well as changes to various core applications including Address Book, Automator, Core Graphics, Core Audio, Core Image, iCal, iChat, Mail, Safari, and Stickies. Apple reportedly seeded Mac OS X 10.4.2 Build 8C29 this past weekend. There are "no known issues" with the update at the time of seeding. Source: Apple Insider Apple Computer this month is expected to update its retail copies of Mac OS X 10.4 to include the first two maintenance releases to the Tiger operating system, ensuring that all new customers obtain the most stable and reliable version of Mac OS X directly out of the box.The company's online store in Canada is already listing for sale the current version of Mac OS X as "OS X V10.4.2 'Tiger' Retail," although the latest official release remains at 10.4.1. Developers contacted by AppleInsider also said they are expecting to receive Mac OS X 10.4.2 on optical media -- something Apple did not offer with the release of Mac OS X 10.4.1 last month. Mac OS X 10.4.2, which is due for release from the company this week, will reportedly deliver over 80 fixes and enhancements to Tiger, in addition to those included with Mac OS X 10.4.1. Among the many fixes expected in the release are Finder updates to finding by kind and using Slideshow, updated ATI and NVIDIA graphics drivers, and improved autologin for managed user accounts. Other areas of change will reportedly improve user experiences with AirPort and wireless access, iDisk synching, installation reliability, and file sharing using AFP and SMB/CIFS network file services. The release is also rumored to deliver enhancements to Address Book, Automator, Core Graphics, Core Audio, Core Image, iCal, iChat, Mail, Safari, and Stickies. Sources tell AppleInsider that Mac OS X 10.4.2 will likely arrive in two versions: a 42MB Delta release containing only the changes made since Mac OS X 10.4.1, and a 55MB Combo update that will pack all the enhancements made to Tiger since its inaugural release on April 29th. According to reports already present on several Internet sites, Apple over the weekend provided its developers with Mac OS X 10.4.2 build 8C29, which at the time contained no known bugs. Still, it's rumored that Apple continues to work on Mac OS X 10.4.2 this week and is considering builds from the 8C3x milestone as final candidates.
