I don't ever remember Apple issuing an "iWork" update and not updates for each individual app.
Anyone else?
I wonder why Apple insists on keeping the actual changes in an update hidden... Perhaps they're trying to avoid admitting the fact that their software has imperfections?
If the lack of release notes spreads further, OS updates will simply have the release note "Bug fixes and minor stability improvements." \
iDVD needs a Ken Burns effect on photo slide shows; that's all I have to say.

It has been this way for years. Nothing new. Every software product, no matter who it is from, has imperfections. Nature of the business. If it provides fixes for stability, what more of a description do you need? I don't really experience the bugs that they claim to fix, but apparently they are in there somewhere if they are taking the time to fix them.

The release notes seem to have been getting more sparse recently, they never used to just state that bugs had been fixed. If, as with iMovie 8.0.1, there have been improvements to usability in some areas, it'd be nice to know what they were instead of just coming across them as I use the app.
I am certainly aware of imperfections in software. I'm a network admin, and I have scripts that I've had to create just for iMovie '08 and '09, so they'll work on a Mac with network home folders. It'd be nice to know if Apple fixed the bugs in this update related to network homes, however with no release notes I'll end up having to experiment to find out.
