Well Apple has been busy with updating and what have you. Well I'm still curious if iChat will introduce(finally) tabbed chatting, while adium is a sweet app. I focus more on my aim account then msn or yahoo. Anyhow, this means iChat wins out on many occasions. But did that document sharing featue remain too? Fryke or anybody still have it in these latest builds? Please say yes! If not then oh well maybe 10.4.4?? Thanks macosx.com people!

What do you mean by document sharing? Are you talking about iChat or 10.4.3? You can send files via iChat (just like you ever could) and share files in the Finder... What exactly do you mean?

I think the name of this thread should be changed, I got excited for a minute thinking 10.4.3 was out

Happening soon, anyway.

Any strong improvments announced in the readme coming with 10.4.3? Or only a general security and bug-fixing update?

Thanks fryke also for the great blog!

Among other things, these have been changed since 10.4.2:

- AFP, SMB/CIFS, NFS and FTP network*file services
- single sign-on authentication and reliable access to LDAP and Active Directory servers
- autologin for managed user accounts
- AirPort and Bluetooth wireless access
- Core Graphics, Core Audio, Core Image, RAW camera support, including updated*ATI and NVIDIA graphics drivers
- Finder updates including finding on Kind and using Slideshow
- .Mac sync services
- Spotlight indexing and searching*
- disc recording when creating and burning media
- creating and burning disk images using Disk Utility
- Address Book, AppleScript, Automator, Dictionary, Font Book,*iCal, iChat, Mail, Preview, Safari, and Stickies applications
- Dashboard widgets: Address Book, Dictionary, Flight Tracker, Phone Book, Stickies, Unit Converter, and World Clock

So it's nothing about security. (Actually, the previously released security updates are part of the combo updater, so you don't need to separately store those...)

Is it just me, or does it look like they are finaly going to move to Java 1.5 as part of the update? About time too, if you ask me - it has been a huge hinderence for the Mac users at my U, where we use Java, and obviously want to use the newest version.
