The general purpose utility for Mac known as Cocktail has been updated to version 4.1.3. Cocktail (Leopard Edition) 4.1.3 adds Mac OS X 10.5.4 compatibility, fixes a Firefox 3 bookmark bug and addresses an issue in which Cocktail may stop responding in a certain cache-clearing scenario.

Maintain's Cocktail is a digital toolset that helps Leopard you simplify the use of advanced UNIX functions, giving you access to hidden Mac OS X settings. It lets you tweak settings more thoroughly in the sense that you can, for instance, enable or disable journaling for disks, repair disk permissions or set disk spindown time. Also, if you've always been looking to have your own, personalized interface, or simply to make it work to your advantage, Cocktail lets you customize the look and feel of Finder, Dock and login window.

The general purpose utility for Mac OS X Leopard also makes it easy to prebind and re-prebind your entire system or selected folders, run cron scripts, change startup mode and language, force empty trash, update "whatis" and locate databases, and so on. You may also easily delete locked or inaccessible items, using the software, and access and delete invisible DS Store files at your will.

If you want to change the speed, duplex and MTU of your network or tweak up network settings for eight common types of connections, you can, using this utility from Maintain.

First and foremost, Cocktail 4.1.3 (Leopard Edition) adds Mac OS X 10.5.4 compatibility. The update also fixes a bug in which Firefox 3 bookmarks are reverted to an outdated version during clearing of the Internet caches and fixes a problem where Cocktail may stop responding during clearing of the user caches. Lastly, version 4.1.3 resolves an issue in which the uninstaller may fail to reset UDP settings to their default values.
