To the Batcave! Er, make that Software Update! On Monday afternoon, Apple pushed out the seventh update to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard which offers the usual “stability, compatibility and security” -- including a separate security update that’s not part of the 10.6.7 package.

MacRumors is reporting that Apple has rolled out Mac OS X 10.6.7 to the public at large, following a stream of steady developer seeds since the release of Mac OS X 10.6.6 at the beginning of the year which introduced the Mac App Store in addition to numerous bug fixes.

“The 10.6.7 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac,” Apple notes.

Specific fixes include:

- Improve the reliability of Back to My Mac
- Resolve an issue when transferring files to certain SMB servers
- Address various minor Mac App Store bugs

Mac OS X 10.6.7 also includes the usual laundry list of “additional improvements” involving a plethora of hardware-related fixes, at least a couple of which are aimed at last year’s MacBook Air refresh. The full list of changes are posted on Apple’s support pages.

Curiously, Apple is also offering a Security Update 2011-001 for both Snow Leopard Client and Server which is separate from the actual Mac OS X 10.6.7 update, and MacRumors is reporting that a special build also exists for the early 2011 MacBook Pro models to address “FaceTime performance issues, graphics stability and external display compatibility.”

All in all, sounds like Mac OS X 10.6.7 has something for everyone -- so hit that Software Update to get yours, or point your browser to Apple’s support website to download individual updates directly.
