• Fixed bug where saved Automator workflows didn’t use the proper configuration when running on Mac OS X 10.5.2.
• Fixed bug where certain disk images of application files created on Mac OS X 10.5.2 would mount on 10.3, but the Finder would refuse to open them. (The contents were intact and accessible from other applications.)

• Fixed a regression in version 2.8.3 where DropDMG would delete the source file/folder if you were creating a segmented disk image next to the source and there was not enough disk space.

• Fixed bug where a .dmg file would not mount on Mac OS X 10.3 and earlier if you created it on an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.5 and the image contained just a single package file (e.g. an application).
• Fixed bug where Append Current Date didn’t work properly when the original file/folder had a very long name.
• Fixed bug where images converted from Zip archives were owned by root.
• Faster at creating images of packages when running on Mac OS X 10.5.

• Fixed bug where DropDMG could crash when canceling an operation.
• Fixed bug where DropDMG would sometimes return an incorrect destination path back to a script.

• If the destination folder is inside the source folder, DropDMG will now report an error and ask you to pick a different folder, rather than silently using Next To Source.

• Improved compatibility with pre-release versions of Mac OS X 10.5.
• Passphrases are now set in a separate dialog rather than directly in the preferences window, and this has been combined with the old Confirm Passphrase feature. This makes it easier to verify a passphrase when you enter it.
• DropDMG now accesses the keychain only when necessary, so it won’t prompt you to unlock the keychain if you’re creating an image that doesn’t have a passphrase.
• The Software Update checker now works behind an HTTP proxy, and the auto-updater is compatible with FileVault.
• Reorganized the manual and added Burning Backups of CDs/DVDs and Transferring Files Securely sections.
• When creating an image of an application or installer package, DropDMG no longer includes file extension in the image name.
• Worked around -39 error from hdiutil when converting very large images with lots of files.
• Auto-open is now off by default, since it slows down image creation, and on Mac OS X 10.4 and later the OS will auto-mount images automatically, anyway.

• Rewrote the Software Update feature. When a new version is available, it can now show you the release notes. DropDMG now downloads the new version itself, rather than relying on your browser. The Download & Install button will cause DropDMG to auto-update itself to the latest version.

• Added recommended segment sizes to the manual and tooltip.

• If no windows are open when you click on DropDMG's icon in the Dock, it will now open The Status Window.
