Attached is a screenshot of the software update utility displaying the stable update available for download.

Author Update #2 @megaargon1 2008-02-12

Do you know what this means? Zephyroth is probably going to upload his release as well in a little while. Hooray for the AMD team! :-p :-] =)

Author Update #3 @megaargon1 2008-02-12

You almost scared me, lol. What happens if I install this 10.5.2 update (from the Software Update Utility) on my machine right now? Marvin's Utility is bugging me out. It shows an error while patching CPUID's after I install an update.

[cite] DoiX:it will be called 10.5.2 Rev1 :))
Author Update #4 @megaargon1 2008-02-12

Zephyroth, when you patch this update in Rev. 2, please download the 341MB separately if you see a 180MB file sitting in your software update utility. The 341MB file I believe includes the Graphics & Video Card Compatibility updates. This will hopefully come in benefit to all of us. Thanks.

Author Update #5 @megaargon1 2008-02-12

Three new wallpapers are included as well. I wonder...

Can't wait to install. Hate to be afraid to install the update right now. Go to the Apple->Software Update-> and see for yourself.

Author Update #8 @megaargon1 2008-02-12

Great! Thanks for the response Zeph. Some sign of relief. Time to create my new PayPal Account. Will keep my eye open on the public torrent/tracker sites.

Author Update #9 @megaargon1 2008-02-13

Rev. 1 10.5.2 is the expected release from Zephyroth. How will Zephyroth let us know whether or not he successfully uploaded the image online?

:-0

Author Update #10 @megaargon1 2008-02-13

Field Note #1 @gully666uk 2008-02-12

cool! i look forward to installing the next version

Field Note #2 @LonelyTV 2008-02-12

Ha ha, I like that everyone is so excited about 10.5.2 being released. Not for 10.5.2 itself but that it means Zephyroth will release 10.5.1 Rev. 2!

Field Note #3 @subsonic 2008-02-12

I just hope the new release will work with my machine.
Right now i have Tiger running on my 12.1" Subnotebook without sound. Nothing i would call a running system eventhough it is better than running windows. Now it is time for my main computer to get Leopard installed. =)

Field Note #4 @eard 2008-02-12

woooohooo! tnx for the info megaargon,
looks like the wait time its ending =)
i hope that soon the 10.5.2 rev 1 could see the light =)
go go zeph
cya guys!

Field Note #5 @new2osx86 2008-02-12

For those who update: be carefull, it may down yr system cause by Applecpupower...kext.
here is a link how to update it. Remember this 'How to is only for INTEL BASE'
http://netkas.org/?p=50 ↗
for AMD we may ask Zephyroth …

Field Note #6 @braindead803 2008-02-12

i hope this week or within the week. would be awesome!

Field Note #7 @xlslx 2008-02-12

zephyroth has its new Intel System, he got it this week if can count from 1 to 3 and i didnt know if zeph will release further AMD Leos.
For me i downloaded several patched kext files and of course the new 10.5.2 and 10.5.2 gaphics update and will integrate both into latest Zeph Rev.2 Beta 2 dmg for testing.
When all things went fine ill release it to public.

So my major updates for my self-made iso will be 10.5.2 (incl. gfx update). And if there are some errors on my amd machine ill include some patchted kext files for it.

but i really hope that zeph will release the 10.5.2 soon, please zephyroth! (as i didnt have that great knowledge about making own isos like him!)

Field Note #8 @zephyroth 2008-02-12

LOL ... You're all crazy with this 10.5.2 update.

But ... I'm on it. I think I will wait before to buy my Intel system so don't worry, further updates will be made by me.
That's the forum for MY 10.5.1 release isn't it ?
So it will be for my 10.5.2 too,

I will inform you about the progress today. It should'nt take too long to release the new ISO but as I said in another post I don't have much time to do this.
I've a lot of things to do apart from this OSX86 project you know, a life, a family, another project ...

Field Note #9 @xlslx 2008-02-12

iam very happy to hear (or read) this words from you, that youll remain developing on further images/updates. Thats really great. Beside your great images iam on my own image for my HP Pavilion dv6130eu, as your image isnt recognizing my PS/2 Keyboard/Synamptics Touchpad correctly... (read more about the issues on my Notebook with yr. l8est rev2beta2 in another post here) so if i get something working on my Nudebook ill send my information to you in hope that this is helping you.

THANKS 4 ALL Zeph!

Greets, Martin

PS: I didnt have time too, just have to learn for about 4 exams next 2 weeks (uni-4. semester Media Computer Science Diploma)

Field Note #10 @braindead803 2008-02-12

so its good to hear that the release will be coming very shortly. is there any torrent tracker that we should be looking for in specific such as the tracker ur first edition was released on (TPB)?

Field Note #11 @slee202 2008-02-13

Zeph

I do not mean to bug you about 10.5.2 but I do agree with megaargon.
I am on checking this site constantly looking for word that it has been released and it would be very, very nice if you could let us know where to look. I have read some of these Discussions way too many times. Could you set up an obvious spot for us to check? I was thinking that the "Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 AMD" Discussion might be a good spot. Just let us know that when its ready that is where you will post the announcement. That way we only have one very short Discussion to check.

Thanks a million.
Steve

Field Note #12 @slee202 2008-02-13

The ones out there drooling like me. I have a slow upload, so if this is released as a torrent I will not, repeat, NOT be downloading until there are seeds, plural. It will be easier for everybody if those of you with slow uploads like me could please, repeat again, PLEASE calm down and wait. I know its hard but lets let the bigs boys with the fast uploads go first then we can all jump on. Otherwise we could all end up waiting for days until there are enough seeds to get things really moving.
