Apple releases Leopard 10.5.4 update

Looks like the latest Leopard update, 10.5.4, just landed. Nothing big, but all the details are after the break; Mac users, you know how to snag it.

General

• Includes recent Apple security updates.
• Resolves an issue with saving and reopening Adobe Creative Suite 3 files on a remote server.
• Includes additional RAW image support for several cameras.
• Addresses an issue that may result in a partially installed X11 application.
• Improves L2TP VPN client reliability.

AirPort

• Addresses AirPort reliability issues with 5GHz networks.
• Addresses AirPort issues that may result in slower performance in Logic Studio or MainStage.

iCal

• Improves overall iCal reliability for meeting requests, cancellation notices, delegation, and syncing with iPhone.
• Resolves an issue that prevents deleting an iCal event without notifying the creator.
• Addresses an issue in which events in all calendars affect availability. A checkbox now enables information-only calendars to be transparent from free/busy lookups.
• Resolves a UI issue preventing delegated calendars from showing up as a separate window.
• Addresses an issue with copying and pasting attendees from one event to another.
• Resolves an issue in which iCal may not delete events after a specified time interval, even when set to do so in iCal preferences.
• Addresses an issue in which To Dos cannot be marked private.

Safari

• Addresses a potential performance issue when loading secure web pages.
• Resolves issues that may be encountered when accessing secure web pages with client certificates that reside on a smart card.

Spaces and Exposé

• Addresses an issue in which switching from a space with a Finder window keeps the Finder as the active application instead of the application residing in the destination space.
• Fixes an issue in which dragging an application from the list of application assignments in Spaces System Preferences does not assign the application to the desired space.
• Resolves an Exposé issue that may result in only a subset of windows being shown.

E71 releases interest in Apple v0.000

[Eric @ Jun 30th 2008 4:53PM]

Looks like E71 is full of LameWare and is only compatible with windows.

[JAson @ Jun 30th 2008 7:58PM]

I am really happy these things are becoming so prevalent. Viva la HD!

[Jeff @ Jun 30th 2008 8:26PM]

Must be Microsoft E71. It had enough interest in Apple to click through to the post and make a comment instead of scrolling past it.

[kastonie @ Jun 30th 2008 4:40PM]

when is the update to liger coming out?

[lizaoreo @ Jun 30th 2008 4:41PM]

Fix the bugs from the third of course.

[Aaronage @ Jun 30th 2008 4:42PM]

Oh good stuff!

*launches software update*

:D

[rp @ Jun 30th 2008 8:58PM]

Go early adopters go! You're my personal beta testers. Personally, I wouldn't rush to install anything until it's been tested well enough.. by my beta testers.

[Superevil @ Jun 30th 2008 4:44PM]

I just installed an Ubuntu updatel. Why don't you post about that Engadget?

[Aaronage @ Jun 30th 2008 4:46PM]

Ubuntu seems to be updated almost everyday from my experience :)

[Jakob Henner @ Jun 30th 2008 4:48PM]

I just installed KB95679 and wonder why Engadget hasn't mentioned it yet (it quailfies as breaking news)

[o rly @ Jun 30th 2008 4:53PM]

That is because your update is from 2003 Jakob, and most people don't use FoxPro anymore.

[King Mustard @ Jun 30th 2008 7:40PM]

lol! @Jakob Henner - Fail.

[Zach @ Jul 1st 2008 3:38AM]

hahaha oh my god. that poor poor soul.

[Superevil @ Jun 30th 2008 4:44PM]

I just installed an Ubuntu updatel. Why don't you post about that Engadget?

[DeaconGTG @ Jun 30th 2008 4:46PM]

Because you posted about it twice, which was plenty.

Seriously folks, it's a two sentence news post pre-break, fairly easy to skip if you don't care.

[Andrew @ Jun 30th 2008 4:47PM]

Snagit was a windows only app last time I checked...

[BuiltByBen @ Jun 30th 2008 4:47PM]

It doesn't come up for me in software update and I couldn't find it on the site...this just me?

[liqker @ Jun 30th 2008 4:47PM]

Addresses AirPort reliability issues with 5GHz networks.

horay!

[ty @ Jun 30th 2008 4:53PM]

osx sucks, windows sucks, linux sucks

[Jim Kimmel @ Jun 30th 2008 5:19PM]

Damn. What does that leave? IBM PC-DOS?

[dvsbstrd @ Jun 30th 2008 4:59PM]

TAKE YOUR PLAN 9 SOMEWHERE ELSE!

[Preston @ Jun 30th 2008 5:02PM]

BeOS FTW!!!

[fp @ Jun 30th 2008 5:04PM]

bsd, the man's OS

[DefPo3t @ Jun 30th 2008 5:06PM]

ViVa OS/2.

[Aaronage @ Jun 30th 2008 5:16PM]

@ Vidit Bhargava

That was an epicly awesome comeback xD

[CosterMonger @ Jun 30th 2008 6:09PM]

paper pwns!

[Brent @ Jun 30th 2008 6:26PM]

RTE-A

[Nytrojen @ Jun 30th 2008 7:21PM]

Paper pwns only you're still using RockOS...

[Wormbolt @ Jun 30th 2008 7:44PM]

I'll be getting the last laugh when that Atari 800 update comes through.

[smilespray @ Jun 30th 2008 4:54PM]

All Adobe CS3 users better update ASAP!

If you work directly against a server with 10.5.3 your files are at risk.

Not a small "issue", no siree...

[CosterMonger @ Jun 30th 2008 6:14PM]

Apple or Adobe hasn't fixed other "issues" with CS3 in Leopard, how hard is it!

will be downloading this update of course, and like the show "Quantum Leap", wishing that all was well after the next leap, but it never is.

[Josh @ Jun 30th 2008 4:55PM]

Preparing for MobileMe and the iPhone 3G plus security updates (likely got rid of the hole that was allowing the trojan horse that appeared last week to get through)

[webterractive @ Jun 30th 2008 5:02PM]

And I thought OS X was ever so secure, good thing I kept my PC. No I love my Mac and PC.

[webterractive @ Jun 30th 2008 5:03PM]

I actually saw a show about a guy with an abacus that can do some crazy shit. He could calculate faster then a guy with a calculator.

[DefPo3t @ Jun 30th 2008 5:04PM]

I forsee. 10.5.4 hackinrosh updater. Releases by 1pm est GMT July 1st

[John @ Jun 30th 2008 5:05PM]

"Includes recent Apple security updates. "

Wow thats real specific. Like what sort of security holes did the 'worlds most advanced operating system' have?

[dax @ Jun 30th 2008 5:06PM]

Because nobody would click on it if there was an Ubuntu update story

[Luigi193 @ Jun 30th 2008 5:06PM]

I FREAKING LOVE SYSTEM UPDATES!!!

[DefPo3t @ Jun 30th 2008 5:08PM]

KERNAL PANICk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[steve @ Jun 30th 2008 5:08PM]

hey, because of this apple update any one think that the 2.0 software might come out tonight or do you think it will be like the 8th of july sorry if i went off topic but i just want to see if it will happen tonight and see your thoughts on it

[steve @ Jun 30th 2008 5:13PM]

i know this is off topic but any one know if 2.0 software will come out tomarrow or july 8th if any one has any info on this can u please post it

[Max Pinton @ Jun 30th 2008 5:42PM]

Mac OS 2.0 came out in April 1985. I'd recommend going to System 5, though, as then you get MultiFinder.

[kal326 @ Jun 30th 2008 5:13PM]

Doesn't really seem worthy of a 10.5.x for that little bit of change. Maybe they are trying to burn through the sequence so they can sell you 10.6.0 a little sooner.

[steve @ Jun 30th 2008 5:15PM]

I know this is off topic but any one know if 2.0 software will come
out tomarrow or july 8th if any one has any info on this can u please
post it

[Amani77 @ Jun 30th 2008 5:30PM]

Why don't you ask that for a 4th time then maybe someone at Apple will reply with iPhone OS 2's release date. Seriously, it will out be out by the 11th of July at the latest; thats less than 2 weeks so calm down and it will be here soon (thats my polite way of telling you to get a life)!

[(01) @ Jun 30th 2008 10:10PM]

Right? If you know enough to ask the question on a tech blog but don't know enough to find it yourself? Just failure right there....

[Kev @ Jun 30th 2008 5:19PM]

I'm a little upset Apple, the update didn't fix this problem as addressed:

Addresses an issue in which switching from a space with a Finder window keeps the Finder as the active application instead of the application residing in the destination space.

it had been annoying me lately and I was glad to see Apple taking care of it but it still exists =(

[BK @ Jun 30th 2008 5:37PM]

Last time I checked, this was Engadget, not Apple.

[sheps999 @ Jun 30th 2008 6:17PM]

@BK: Same thing, isn't it?
