Announcement: AppleScript 1.8.3 is now available

- This announcement was made to various AppleScript related mailing lists today:

"AppleScript 1.8.3 is available today via Software Update, as well as via manual download at http://www.info.apple.com.

For Mac OS 9.1 and later, AppleScript 1.8.3 is available in English (North American).

For Mac OS X 10.1 and later, AppleScript 1.8.3 is available in 16 languages.

The Mac OS 9 update corrects several significant problems with AppleScript 1.7 (included with Mac OS 9.2.2) and brings it up to compatibility with the latest Mac OS X release. Most notably, it fixes frequent crashes in the 'info for' scripting addition command, and makes the 'file' and 'alias' objects behave as they did prior to AppleScript 1.7.

The Mac OS X update fixes some crashing bugs found in AppleScript 1.8.2 (which shipped with the April 2002 Developer Tools update). It contains the full runtime for AppleScript Studio 1.1, so AppleScript Studio applications developed with AppleScript Studio 1.1 can be deployed on any Mac OS X version 10.1 system that has installed this upgrade.

The upcoming "Jaguar" version of Mac OS X will include AppleScript 1.8.3 for Mac OS 9 as part of the Classic installation.

Complete release notes for these updates are available at http://www.apple.com/applescript."

At the time of this post, I could find no reference to the update at either of the URLs mentioned above.
