10.3.9 is now available. Somebody installed it yet ? How is it ? Stable ? Problem ? And what about Celestia with this ?

Comments ?

The graphic drivers have reportedly been updated (again) in 10.3.9 so as Cham says,
if someone with a recent eMac/iBook/Mac Mini (i.e., someone with a Radeon 9200)
has installed 10.3.9, any feedback on whether Celestia still crashes with vertex programs
turned on would be greatly appreciated.

Non-Celestia related 10.3.9 problem:

On some computers it breaks the updated Java webstart from the 02-2005 security update resulting in problems on website that use java.
Reinstalling the aformentioned security update should help.

I've installed 10.3.9... seems pretty stable (the usual stable, I mean) with Celestia 1.32. I tried it briefly with the 1.4pre6 version... my normal maps are working now (I don't believe they were prior to the 10.3.9 update or, if they were... they were REALLY slow - still slow but more usable).
