Apple has finally dropped 10.5.2 on us, and with it come a huge number of fixes and changes. Stacks, for example, have been rethought a bit and now allow browsing of files hierarchically in addition to toggling a few features. Menu bar transparency has gained a preference, allowing it to be toggled, a highly welcomed feature.

Among the new features, there are bugfixes for Finder, Mail, iCal, iChat, iSync, Preview, Time Machine, RAW support, and more.

Thanks Apple for a well needed update, now let’s just hope it doesn’t break anything new.

Apple’s biggest updated ever to OS X could arrive as early as Friday. The update is said to weigh in at 400MB and will pack new features such as a list view for stacks, CD/DVD sharing, support for wireless backups using a network drive attached to an AirPort Extreme, and the ability to finally get rid of the transparency in the menu bar.

The latest updated, converting your computer to OS X 10.5.2, is said to contain no known issues. Expect a busy weekend playing around with all the shiny new features.
