From the technote about changes in 10.2 at
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2053.html
* The bash command shell is now installed with Mac OS X, and has replace
zsh as the default /bin/sh (r. 2809843).
(this in the stuff about BSD).
Any differences this will make to the actions/behaviour/results of "do
shell script" or redirections from it? (any) Chris?
also from the File Manager notes:
* With Mac OS X 10.2, when one process opens a file with write access, it
will have exclusive write access. If another application tries to open the
same file with write access it will fail. See Technical Note TN2037 for
further information. (r. 2663613).
...and this one is quite neat (though not Applescript-important) so just
thought I'd mention it:
* Kernel panic information is now recorded in NVRAM and at the next system
startup that information is written to the /Library/Logs/panic.log. This
allows panics to be reported without the inconvenience of having to write
down the information or copy the information from the screen by some other
means. (r. 2795225).
Certainly more than 150 *fixes* in there. It repays a brief browse to
persuade you that it's money worth spending...
