Yes, it's true. Check Software Update right now. The build is only a 180MB (Update: It appears that the size of the update varies from computer to computer, ranging from 180-380MB) download and not 400MB+ as some people thought it would be. Here are some of the improvements:

Active Directory

 

* Addresses issues which could hinder or prevent binding Mac OS X 10.5.x clients to Active Directory domains.

 

AirPort

 

* Improves connection reliability and stability

* Includes 802.1X improvements.

* Resolves certain kernel panics.

 

Back to my Mac

 

* Adds support for more third-party routers, as detailed in this article.

 

Dashboard

 

* Improves performance of certain Apple Dashboard widgets (such as Dictionary).

* Addresses an issue in which Dashboard widgets may no longer be accessible after switching to or from an account that has Parental Controls enabled.

 

Dock

 

* Updates Stacks with a List view option, a Folder view option, and an updated background for Grid view.

 

Desktop

 

* Addresses legibility issues with the menu bar with an option to turn off transparency in Desktop & Screen Saver preferences.

* Adjusts menus to be slightly-less translucent overall.

 

iCal

 

* Improves iCal so that it accurately reflects responses to recurring meetings.

* Addresses an issue in which a meeting may remain on the calendar after being cancelled.

* Addresses stability issues related to .Mac syncing of iCal calendars.

* Resolves an intermittent issue in which editing an event with attendees would cause the event to shrink and not register that the event was updated.

 

iChat

 

* Addresses an issue with simultaneously-logged in accounts in which iChat sounds generated from one account might be heard in another account.

* Fixes an issue in which iChat idle time is affected by Time Machine backups.

* Improves connectivity when running iChat behind a router that doesn’t preserve ports.

* Enables logged chats from previous versions of iChat to open faster and more reliably.

* Addresses an issue with text chats in which users may be unable to receive messages from the sender.

* Addresses an issue that may prevent rejoining an AIM chat room without reopening iChat.

* Addresses video chat compatibility issues with AIM 6 and third-party routers.

* Fixes an issue with case-sensitivity of AIM handles.

 

And much much more. Here is the more.

Has anyone seen any improvements with the Leopard Graphics Update package? My SR MacBook's Dock still feels very choppy, and haven't really noticed an overall improvement with the Intel X3100's performance. I was very disappointed with this update, as I was hoping to see this issue resolved. Guess all we can do is keep waiting...

Yes, my iMac now wakes up from sleep and the display actually goes to sleep.

Need for Speed is WAY faster for me.

I actually see no difference whatsoever with this update. I noticed the Stacks thing, but I won't use it. I like my Drawer Stacks. ;) Am I the only one that doesn't see anything new with this?

 

 

So when's 5.3 coming out?

would this work with amd based systems?

 

Just open that link and read:

"of course it’s all for intel core 2 based cpus and intel mobos. and pc_efi."

 

 

but,

 

"other users can use 10.5.1 kernel/system.kext with 10.5.2 system (like amd users or pentium-d)"
