Spaces now works better. One remaining bug is that if I click the Finder in the Dock, it switches to a space containing a Finder window on the first click, even if I've set the preference to not do so.

XCode 3.2 shows a completely revamped AppleScript template. The “on” event handlers have been replaced by script objects containing subroutines bearing names of Cocoa methods. It's much uglier than Objective C in that the “:” (colons) are replaced by “_” underscores and all arguments are thrown together into a positional list, instead of labeled arguments.

One quick update, which we'll detail further in the next post about 10A402: the pop-up Dock navigation menus (not Stacks, but the list-type) for folders now match the translucent-black style of application dock menus/Dock Exposé.

Animations and other visual Finder behaviors (such as icons snapping into place when moved) now use less CPU and have a smoother look to them.

There are countless other tweaks both visible and under-the-hood, which we'll be detailing in upcoming posts.
