Mac OS X 10.5.6 Released

Apple today released the next major update to OS X Leopard in the form of Mac OS X 10.5.6 and is now available via Software Update, or the Apple downloads page. It is a 377MB download, recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard.

Some of the notable changes and updates included in the release are:

• Contacts, calendars, and bookmarks on a Mac automatically sync within a minute of the change being made on the computer, another device, or the web at me.com. This should go a long way towards making MobileMe more usable.
• Improves reliability of Address Book & Airport.
• Adds a Trackpad System Preference pane for portable Macs.
• Improves Time Machine reliability with Time Capsule, and problems with locating backup volumes
• Includes fixes for possible graphics distortion issues with certain ATI graphics cards, and improvements for several graphics intensive apps (iChat, Cover Flow, Aperture, and iTunes).
• Several improvements to Mail to improve performance, junk filtering and handling of PDF attachments
• Networking enhancements for AT&T 3G cards and TCP connections
• Improved printing for users of Adobe CS3
