Aperture 3.0.1

Any difference, im dying to find out but have no access to my files to try at this stage. let us know if they have made it quicker atleast.

It does feel more robust to me.

Haven't used it much since I updated it last night, but have left it running all day. Two things I've immediately noticed are that it doesn't crash when I run it at the same time as VMWare Fusion, and memory utilization doesn't creep up. Seems like they fixed my major issues!

This is the description on the download page:

This update improves overall stability and addresses a number of issues in Aperture 3, including:

Upgrading libraries from earlier versions of Aperture
Importing libraries from iPhoto
Importing photos directly from a camera
Memory usage when processing heavily-retouched photos
Face recognition processing
Adding undetected faces using the Add Missing Face button
Printing pages containing multiple images
Printing photos and contact sheets with borders and metadata
Editing photos using an external editor
Display of images with Definition and Straighten adjustments applied
Zooming photos in the Viewer and in the Loupe using keyboard shortcuts
Accessing Aperture libraries on a network volume
Selecting and moving pins on the Places map
Adding and editing custom locations using the Manage My Places window
Switching between masters when working with RAW+JPEG pairs.
The update is recommended for all users of Aperture 3.

I'm debating on buying A3 or LR3 (when its out of beta), or even installing any Adobe products at all.
I think I can get done what I want with A3, iPhoto, iMovie, Final Cut, and iDVD, all Apple stuff.

But it sounds like 99.99% of photographers who use software also use Ps, so I guess I might also use Ps and Lr...? Either way I'm buying something if not probably both.
Sounds like they are working the kinks out, which is good. I really like what I'm seeing in the trial, if I only really knew how to use the stuff.
