I bet somewhere Cypher and JB are smiling with the better support UK boards.

No problems here with the update. I wonder if it will be the last one released before Mountain Lion? Our 10.6.8 type finale.

I'm glad they finally fixed the reopen windows feature. It's been driving me crazy since the beginning.

I upgraded two minis and an iMac this morning without incident. For those running Snow Leopard, a security update for it was issued.

It doesn't sound like there have been as many issues as the last update (10.7.3), but I'm still going to wait a couple days. These updates have really become less automatic to me. I would probably be more inclined to update if I were using Filevault though.

Is Safari 5.1.7 included in Lion 10.7.4? I don't see it showing up in SU as a standalone update.

Nope You might be wrong about that

Been busy testing ml myself

Safari 5.1.7 becomes available after you do the Lion update.

I just checked Apple's website where Safari 5.1.7 is available for download. Unfortunately, it states there that it requires Lion 10.7.4 or Snow Leopard 10.6.8 plus Security Update 2012-002.

I can confirm I'm running Safari 5.1.7 (but I do have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 plus Security Update 2012-002).

It's also strange because the 10.7.4 update actually comes with Safari 5.1.6. I went ahead and updated everything though. It just doesn't seem like this is a good time to let security-based updates slide on by.
