Mac OS X 10.4.6 8I127 (PowerPC) & 8I1119 (intel) released...
As we said, the 10.4.6 update was basically ready for release last week. Today, Apple has released the update in the usual forms: Delta updaters on the website and through Software Update and - recommended - combo updaters, for PowerPC and intel.
Don't panic: If you're on a PowerPC Mac, it'll restart twice automatically. Normal reboot times are achieved after 10.4.6 has booted for the first time.
iSync 2.2 - included with the update - apparently does some nice and bad things. First: It adds support for several new phones, but it also breaks some unsupported phones' hacks. I'll check the hack for the Series 80 phones on our site and report back very soon. ... Well, I just did that and apparently the hack still works without a hitch. As with every iSync update, the hack is actually overwritten and you have to do it all over again, but after re-applying the hack, you'll have to let iSync reset your Nokia communicator and re-sync. Gives some strange messages on the commie, but it works just fine. - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 00:39 [article link]
