For our readers currently rocking Snow Leopard - Cupertino's got your back.
This morning saw the release of Apple's latest update to the operating system, bringing the version number up to 10.6.3. According to the download propaganda, the update includes the usual bits and pieces to - say it with us - enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.
The update includes fixes to:
- Improve the reliability and compatibility of QuickTime X
- Address compatibility issues with OpenGL-based applications
- Address an issue that causes background message colors to display incorrectly in Mail
- Resolve an issue that prevented files with the # or & characters in their names from opening in Rosetta applications
- resolve an issue that prevented files from copying to Windows file servers
- Improve performance of Logic Pro 9 and Main Stage 2 when running in 64-bit mode
- Improve sleep and wake reliability when using Bonjour wake on demand
- Address a color issue in iMovie with HD content
- Improve printing reliability
- Resolve issues with recurring events in iCal when connected to an Exchange server
- Improve the reliability of 3rd party USB input devices
- Fix glowing, stuck, or dark pixels when viewing video from the iMac (Late 2009) built-in iSight camera
Not too shabby.
If your Mac isn't set up to accept automatic updates, click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen and pick Software Update. You can also hit up Apple's website for the update online here.
