Ok, so leopard's now released, I have the box and the t-shirt, and
have just finished installing leopard and WO 5.4.
Release notes for WO 5.4 look interesting, a bit of deja vu if you
use wonder. And if you aren't using eclipse yet, go get a kleenex
before you read on.
For those of you who still have to wait before you can get your
copy.. here is what the release notes have to say:
