AppleScript Updated to 1.8.3

Posted by pudge on from the please-do-not-break-my-demos-right-before-yapc dept.

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.

    Some Apple software got revved today. In other news, Alan Cox released a new set of patches to kernel 2.4.[editors insert relevant no. here] pre [and here too please], and Microsoft released patches to pieces of IE or IIS which no-one except invererate rock-smokers use anyway.

    Howsabout some Stuff That Matters? Jeez... at least timothy posts amusingly trollish crap. pudge... well really, does anyone give a fuck about minor point releases of scripting languages used by the three people worldwide who found Python too difficult to get their heads round?
