Leopard bugs got you down? Apple just pushed out its first update for the new OS, 10.5.1. It looks like it cures a whole laundry list of niggles with Leopard, including that nasty "potential data loss" issue with partitions in Finder. We heard about most of these fixes last week when the first build was seeded to developers, but there's a rundown of what actually made it after the break. Highlights include a fix to Time Machine drive limitations, a bunch of improvements to Finder's Shared Sidebar, and good old fashioned spanking of Mail.app's issues. Let us know if Apple didn't fix what ails you and we'll be sure to have our people talk to Steve's people.

Mac OS X 10.5.1 seeded to developers

With the number of bugs that've already been reported for Leopard -- most of which are fairly inherent in any .0 release, but are no less annoying -- it doesn't take much of a rumor-enthusiast to figure out that Apple is hard at work on a 10.5.1 update. The first fruit of that effort just hit ADC developers today, in the form of build 9B13. The update is pretty broad, and since this is just the first seed of 10.5.1, there's no telling how long it'll take for Apple to get this all tightened up for public consumption. Issues that are being addressed include:

Mail Sync
Spotlight Index
Disk Management
DesktopServices and moving files across partitions
Text Drawing
iCal and CalDAV syncing
Keychain login
Read-Only Issue with SMB
AirPort 802.1X
Application Firewall
To-Do Notes
and Smart Mailboxes.

Granted, that's just a high level overview so it's hard to tell if this will tackle your specific 10.5.0 pet peeve, but there's a mite bit more after the break in other areas of change.
