Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.5 (Security Update 2010-007)

Software UpdateApple has finally released Mac OS X 10.6.5 bringing a number of bugfixes and security patches to the OS and applications. The list includes numerous improvements to AFP (File Sharing Protocol), QuickTime, and other image/PDF-based issues. I noticed that Apple are crediting themselves on quite a few of these, so it’s nice to see they’re putting in the effort of hunting down bugs.

Available via Software Update!
