AppleScript Updated to 1.8.3

Warlock7 writes "Apple has made the 1.8.3 version of AppleScript available. You can get the update through Software Update." It's available for both Mac OS and Mac OS X, though, as usual, a detailed list of changes is hard to find, though some are in the accompanying About AppleScript file. It appears they've fixed bugs with coercing Unicode text (now I can fetch and use text from iTunes via Apple events), and Apple says it provides increased stability of scripts, and runs applications created with the latest version of AppleScript Studio.

    It seems that the Installer is buggy and a lot of people have reported that it crashes on launch!

    Double click on installer. Please note that the AppleScript Studio front end to the Installer needs AppleScript Update 1.8.3. Running the Installer with a previous version of AppleScript may result in decreased stability of the Install process.

    Thank you for using Apple products. Buh-Bye.
