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.

Re:Buggy installer of the upgrade by jeffehobbs · 2002-06-24 12:28 · Score: 4, Interesting

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

...yep, that happened to me too, but interestingly enough, one top -u in the terminal will show you that the actual install continues on. The installer crashed my iBook, but apparently only the Cocoa front end to the install was actually affected. The actual software install went ok, and the requisite update_prebinding post-install "optimization" automatically fired up afterwards as well.

Odd.
