  • improve the reliability and compatibility of QuickTime X
  • address compatibility issues with OpenGL-based applications
  • address an issue that causes background message colors to display incorrectly in Mail
  • resolve an issue that prevented files with the # or & characters in their names from opening in Rosetta applications
  • resolve an issue that prevented files from copying to Windows file servers
  • improve performance of Logic Pro 9 and Main Stage 2 when running in 64-bit mode
  • improve sleep and wake reliability when using Bonjour wake on demand
  • address a color issue in iMovie with HD content
  • improve printing reliability
  • resolve issues with recurring events in iCal when connected to an Exchange server
  • improve the reliability of 3rd party USB input devices

Mac OS 10.5.8 Released - Improvements

Apple released 10.5.8 this week offering several bug fixes and application updates.  Safari is now at version 4.02, which improves the accuracy of a full history search.  Bluetooth reliability, iCal reliability, and many more.  It also includes the latest security and bug fixes.


Get the full details from Apple

As always, you can get the smaller delta update via Software Update, but it's been my experience you will have a much smoother experience with less problems if you download the 759MB Combo updater. The downside to this is that is always much bigger, but if you have Broadband internet, it shouldn't be much difference.
