Apple has released a swarm of software updates hot on the heels of yesterday's new product announcements.

iMac Software Update 1.0 provides "important bug fixes" for the 20in and 24in iMacs with 2.0, 2.4 or 2.8GHz processors.

iPhoto 7.0.1 (ie, for iPhoto 08) "addresses issues associated with publishing photos from an upgraded library to .Mac Web Gallery."

Keyboard Software Update 1.1 to enable full use of the new aluminium keyboards.

Three existing applications have also been updated for better compatibility with the new products.

Aperture (Apple's professional photo management application) has been updated to version 1.5.4 for compatibility with iLife 08 and is recommended for all Aperture users, while Front Row 1.3.1 delivers improved iPhoto compatibility.

Boot Camp 1.4 beta includes support for the latest hardware, Apple Remote pairing, updated graphics drivers and Windows help, and improvements to localisation, international keyboard support, and the driver installer.

Unrelated to yesterday's announcements but also new is the Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.1, which "adjusts fan behavior".
