Tonight, Apple released the OS X 10.1.2 update. This substantial (30mb) update includes a ton of bug fixes, including a fix for the contextual menu bug in column view mode. I installed the updater last night, and all seems fine so far!

I've appended the contents of the "What's New" box from the update dialog box (did you know you can copy and paste that text? I didn't until I tried it!) into the remainder of this article if you'd like to get a quick look at what's new before you install. This is by no means a complete list, but it's a start.

The 10.1.2 update delivers improvements and new functionality, as well as expanded peripheral support for Mac OS X. Enhancements include:

- Updated and new USB and FireWire device support, including FireWire-based digital cameras

- PC Card storage devices, including media readers

- IrDA modem support for FireWire-based PowerBook models

- Audio, Display, and Speech improvements

- Networking and Printing improvements

- AirPort v2.0

- Apache web server v1.3.22

- AppleScript v1.8
