Software Update: 10.6.1 debuts
Although it seems like just yesterday (or at least a few days ago) that Snow Leopard debuted, the hotly anticipated 10.6.1 has just hit the ground running. 10.6.1 introduces a number of bug fixes and tweaks for "the stability, compatibility, and security" of your Mac. Highlights include:
Printer compatibility enhancements for printers that do not properly appear in the Add Printer browser.
Bug fix for DVD playback (when playback stops abruptly)
Bug fix for the Dock (bug prevents removal of icons from the Dock)
Bug fix for account set up and sending mail via SMTP servers in Mail
Bug fix for Sierra Wireless 3G modems
Adobe Flash Player update (new plug-in version 10.0.32.18)
The Flash update is particularly important. "Multiple issues exist in the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, the most serious of which may lead to arbitrary code execution when viewing a maliciously crafted web site. The issues are addressed by updating the Flash Player plug-in to version 10.0.32.18." Further information is available via the Adobe web site.
The download is now live via Software Update.
