Well, it's finally here. Mac OS X 10.5.7 delivers a swag of bug fixes, including many with security implications. There's a corresponding security update for 10.4 Tiger.
In Apple's words, "The 10.5.7 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac."
That's pretty much all the company ever thinks The Rest Of Us need to know about updates. Enhanced stability, compatibility and security can't be bad, can it?
Additional information is available if you dig deeper on Apple's web site, though (at the time of writing) you had to work around a link to the wrong support article. The one you need is
here.
So what are the highlights?
As expected, several syncing issues have been addressed, in particular iCal syncing with MobileMe, Mail with Notes, and Address Book with Yahoo!.
Talking of third party services, the update also takes care of "issues" that may have been occurring when logging into Gmail.
