It's an update to provide support for right to left languages like hebrew in the BIOS compatibilty module.

I updated and it worked fine.

Seems to fix where it would try to eject a disk even if there was none when you pressed the eject key.

Thanks, I did wondered about eject sound when I press the eject key even I don't have a disc in there.

Ok, time to reboot.

That's probably a feature rather than a bug. On the MBP the optical drive sleeps when its not used for a while even when the MBP itself never goes to sleep (that's different compared to the previous PBs). When you hit the eject key, it wakes the drive and the drive then makes the 'eject sound'. It's the same sound you hear when you wake the MBP from sleep or when you boot it. The same behavior can be observed when you start DiskUtility or Toast - probably both apps check the drives attached and by doing so wake the optical drive from its sleep mode. So if you hit the eject button, you're actually just waking the drive. If you hit it again, you won't hear the sound because the drive is already awake. So it's not really an eject bug. Simple as that.

And btw, this behavior wasn't changed by any firmware revision since the release of the MBP.

I just updated the firmware and it didn't change the wake drive behavior. Actually, I wouldn't mind, I won't press the eject button unless I am really ejecting a disc.

Well it still does the wake, if after awhile I press the eject key it makes the noise. But before this update my MBP would make the noise everytime you pressed the eject key.
