Tiger only hintLong ago, when the site was but a young thing, I used to regularly cover the minor OS X releases. I haven't done that for quite a while, but I felt yesterday's release of the 10.4.3 update merited at least some mention here--it's the largest system update (in terms of number of changes, at over 500) Apple has ever released, and they snuck in some relatively interesting new features. There are also probably some new glitches introduced, though I've only run into one area of confusion so far (covered in a separate hint today).

So I thought I'd at least list a few of the minor things that I've discovered so far, none of which would really be 'hint-worthy' on their own merits.

Most of the above are documented on Apple's About the 10.4.3 Update page; the ones I chose to list were just those I found most interesting or useful to me. Overall, for the size of the update, I've been quite happy with it -- no major glitches (other than the one documented as a separate hint), and the improvements are quite welcomed. Please feel free to comment on your experiences with the update...
