MacBookMacBookProSU1.2.pkg - New Software Update for Macbook (Pro) 5.1

143MB uncompressed. For those of you who are used to right clicking on a package and choosing 'show package contents' you may have notices that since leopard came around you can't do that any more. To convert the package back from a flatfile package to the previous version do this:

pkgutil —expand /Volumes/MacBook\,\ MacBook\ Pro\ Software\ Update\,\ 1.2/MacBookMacBookProSU1.2.pkg destination

Now you can root around, see the install scripts and view the files that were in the package.

Apple says this about the update: The update improves compatibility with external displays and includes a variety of software fixes. This update is recommended for all users of these systems.

One things I noticed in this update is that there's a lot of files relating to bluetooth being updated. This is interesting because apple only talked about graphics updates. So, if you're getting one of these new macbooks make sure the bluetooth is working correctly.
