Aperture 2.1.1 now available
Apple has just released Aperture 2.1.1, the latest update to their photo workflow application aimed at pro photographers. The description, as usual, is terse. It would seem this update 'supports general compatibility issues, improves overall stability, and addresses a number of other minor issues.' Sounds like it fixes some bugs and adds MobileMe support.
The update is available via Software Update, though Apple hasn't posted it to their website as of yet.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

I literally just finished moving a bunch of Aperture photos back into iPhoto so they could be imported from mobileme into iWeb so I'm sure that must be one of the fixes.

It is. In preferences, MobileMe replaces .Mac

You could do the .Mac/MobileMe photo galleries even before this update.

Christina, thanks for the tip. I installed the update but the irony of the timing has prevented me from checking under the hood. It was probably about 30 seconds after finishing the upload that I saw this story in my RSS feed.
Roy. Right, but you couldn't import the photos from mobileme me into iWeb if they were imported to mobileme from an Aperture library instead of iPhoto. There were a bunch of threads about it in the Apple discussion groups.

I have Aperture 2.1, and when I run Software Update it doesn't list any updates available.
I also never got the Mobile Me update listed in Software Update or two of my coworkers who have macs. The only way to trigger that update was to go into the .mac preference pane and play around for a few seconds.

Apple has posted it, with also the 1.5.6 update for 1.x users.

Oh, and also, they have burnt the unofficial serial nulbers in this update, so beware.

Meh.. I've just gone back to Lightroom after trying out the Aperture demo for a couple of weeks. I was beginning to get on with Aperture but just found that the project/album/folder/book structure is far, far too complicated. I never quite understood whether I should be using a folder, album or project and when I should be using them. Lightroom has folders, which I automatically have generate by the image date, and collections - I can store projects in a collection but they're still in the folder by it's date too. I'm sure you could probably do this in Aperture but I couldn't work it out.
Some features in Aperture I REALLY like. The ability to store images essentially where you like, so you could have working images on your laptop and then move them to an archive on an external drive is great. You might be able to do this with Lightroom but I've not quite worked it out.
Overall, I think I prefer Lightroom, it feels a bit more immediate and less convoluted.

I actually updated before realizing the old serials got wiped out...had to delete everything with AppCleaner and go back through to my Time Capsule and restore the old version I had from last week...it worked like a charm and I've got aperture 2.1 back until someone finds a way to get the newer version out to us...

Seriously, if you can afford a Time Capsule, you can afford Aperture.

When Apple decides that my 1.42 Ghz Dual Processor MDD with an ATI Radeon 9600 video card is adequate for Aperture (and I can tell you from personal experience that it is MORE than adequate for Aperture) then, I'll be happy to buy it from Apple.
Until then, The Pirate Bay is your friend when it comes to running Aperture on "unapproved" hardware.
