The reason for the 10.5.7 non-release

[icemanjc]

I also noticed in the 10.5.7 update that they changed the Energy Saver icon in System Preferences to a fluorescent lightbulb instead of an incandescent.

The biggest difference that I've noticed so far with 10.5.7 is that running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions is drastically faster! In fact, it takes just a few seconds!

Is it the same for others?

[icemanjc]

Nope not for me, it takes the same amount of time as before. I guess it depends on how big your hard drive is and how many problems there are.

EDIT: The actually repairing was quite quick (around a 1-2 minutes), but the reading of the database was as slow as usual.

Yep i noticed this also. However I had to use the Combo Update to get the fluorescent light bulb to change on my new Mac Pro, the Delta Update didn't change the icon and I suspect it happened this way because this new Mac Pro came with 10.5.x already on it.

The new icon happened a while ago but not all computers it seems. My 10.5.7 still has the incandescent bulb icon

Yep -- older Mac computers (including all PowerPC-based Macs) showed an incandescent bulb for the Energy Saver icon, even through 10.5.6 (at least all of mine did).

My MacBook (mid 2007) showed the fluorescent bulb icon when I first installed Leopard on it.

It seems that the icon is (er, was) partly based upon the Mac model and also partly based upon the system version -- or, perhaps, one or the other (or none in the Captain's case).

Just another data point.

I have an Intel-based 24-inch iMac that has been fully updated to OS X 10.5.7, and it still shows the incandescent (not the florescent) bulb.

I didn't use the combo updater for the latest update; I used Software Update. So that may be at least a partial explanation.

Well, I've installed it on a 1st Generation Mac Mini PowerPC, 2nd Generation MacBook Intel, and a 2nd Generation G5 PowerMac. They all have the fluorescent lightbulb, plus they were updated through Software Update.
