This is a maintenance update which reacts to recent developments in Mac OS X Leopard and fixes minor problems.

- Added a feature to detect a common damage of Leopard installations where users have intentionally destroyed the system's speech synthesizer to save storage space.
- The readings of non-working GPU-load sensors provided by some of Apple's graphics drivers for Leopard are now correctly suppressed by the application. Instead of displaying a constant zero value, the sensor will be removed entirely.
- Support for monitoring the frequency of Intel processors based on 45 nm technology ("Penryn") has been withdrawn. The sensor might not reflect the true performance mode under all operating conditions.
- The mechanism to detect ambiguities in machine production dates has been optimized. Computers built in 2008 are now always displayed with their correct dates of production.

- It is now possible to directly connect to remote computers by double-clicking entries in the connect panel.
