Use combined update if you're upgrading from 10.3.2 and below.

Looking at the list of OS X 10.3.4's key enhancements, there's no mention of any fix for the iChat bug, w/c has been kicking us out of our sessions on its own, among others.

Key enhancements include:

*improved file sharing and directory services for Mac (AFP), UNIX (NFS), PPTP, and wireless networks
*improved OpenGL technology and updated ATI and NVIDIA graphics drivers
*improved disc burning and recording functionality
*iPods connected via USB 2.0 are now recognized by iTunes and iSync
*additional FireWire audio and USB device compatibility
*updated Address Book, Mail, Safari, Stickies, and QuickTime applications
*improved compatibility for third party applications
*previous standalone security updates

i just updated, so far so good, no problems reported so far in the usual fora (macfixit, etc.).

Applying the update will reset your system theme to Aqua since Shapeshifter recognizes 10.3.4 to be a higher OS.

Do watch out for an upgrade soon on Versiontracker for Shapeshifter to work in 10.3.4.

Upgraded Shapeshifter without any problems. The update seems to have also cured the Mail GUI bug. :lol:

Hi guys,

Just updated, not only is my system working fine... but accessing PeeCee networks is MUCH MUCH faster now! (used to have to wait a min or two to see the servers, now it appears instantly)...

Great update!!!
