OS X 10.6.5 Update has been released

Nov 11 2010, 12:28am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

The rumors have turned out to be true and a couple of hours ago Apple started offering the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update for download. The 10.6.5 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac.

Apple highlights the following improvements of 10.6.5:

improve reliability with Microsoft Exchange servers
address performance of some image-processing operations in iPhoto and Aperture
address stability and performance of graphics applications and games
resolve a delay between print jobs
address a printing issue for some HP printers connected to an AirPort Extreme
resolve an issue when dragging contacts from Address Book to iCal
address an issue where dragging an item from a stack causes the Dock to not automatically hide
resolve an issue with Wikipedia information not displaying correctly in Dictionary
improve performance of MainStage on certain Mac systems
resolve spacing issues with OpenType fonts
improve reliability with some Bluetooth braille displays
resolve a VoiceOver issue when browsing some web sites with Safari 5

The release notes of the Apple Mac OS X 10.6.5 do not mention anything related to the iOS 4.2 update coming most likely this Friday. A rumor that AirPrint will not work with any printer connected via a Mac has raised concern.

You can install the OS X 10.6.5 download when you hit Software Update in the Mac menu.
