Combo-updated, and all is well. Got a double-restart after installing update. Everything's cool here in Texas with 10.4.8. No noticeable change in anything -- being that most of the updates are all "under the hood" updates.

The only feature I know of is the implementation of zoom by scrolling the mouse.

Control - Scroll = Zoom

Check your mouse preferences.

I like the updates to Rosetta, that make numeric code more accurate, and the improvements to the translation of Altivec instructions to SSE3. Gonna try it and see if Matlab runs any faster.

Have not installed yet (need to back up some things first), but I just read the info page and saw this:

Improves responsiveness of the Translation Dashboard widget.
YES! My current Translation widget is so unresponsive it defeats the purpose of using a widget; it'd be faster to just load up my browser. I'm looking forward to this, as I use translation services somewhat often.
