"Mac OS X 10.5.2 Update, the next in a year-long series of planned updates to Apple's new Leopard operating system, promises to be one of the most hefty maintenance releases put out by the company for its operating system software in recent years. According to people familiar with the matter, Tuesday evening gave way to the first test builds of the software update for developers, including a 354MB bare-bones delta build and a 362MB combo updater- both of which were labeled OS X 10.5.2 build 9C7."

"I hope they get rid of that crappy application firewall and go back to using IPFW2 . Arghhh!"
I'm not a regular Mac OS X user, but didn't it use the packet filter (pf) instead of the IP firewall (ipfw2), or am I mixing up things here?
From my experience, ipfw2 (used on FreeBSD machines) does a great job. along with its ability to be configured very easily. You can setup a well configured firewall mechanism with very few rules and still have intended things working.
