FileMaker has released FileMaker Pro 9.0v2 and FileMaker Pro 9.0v2 Advanced, available now via a downloadable update.

The 9.0v2 update provides compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard as described below, and other features, and is recommended for all users.

Here is a list of other fixes in the 9.0v2 update that developers will be most interested in:

Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard):
The application no longer crashes when creating files if the system language and region do not match.

General Fixes:
Mac OS X: Get(SystemVersion) now returns the correct version on Mac OS X operating systems ending with double digit revision numbers, i.e.
10.4.10.

The database consistency check initiated on launch will no longer incorrectly report that a database is damaged for some databases that can be opened and used without any problems.

Printing Fixes:
The update addresses issues which cause the application to crash when a page range is specified.

Relationships:
A relationship with a global field now returns all related records if the value of the other key is empty.

Please note that this update does not fix issues with the FileMaker
Pro 9 Instant Web Publishing (IWP) feature running on Leopard. We
intend to make IWP compatible with Leopard in an update expected in
December 2007.

We expect to deliver a Leopard compatibility update for our Server
products in early 2008. FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker Server 9
Advanced currently do not deploy properly on Leopard. In the meantime,
FileMaker Pro 9 and FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced clients running on
Leopard do work with FileMaker Server and Server Advanced running on
Tiger or earlier versions of Mac OS X.
