Mac OS X v10.5.8 Ready For Download

Posted by timothy on from the upgrades-are-for-wimps dept.

mysqlbytes writes "Apple has posted an anticipated v10.5.8 patch for Mac OS X, updating a number of components in the operating system, one of their last updates to Leopard. The update brings improvements to Safari, Airport, Bluetooth, among others and rolls out the latest OS X security fixes." Worth glancing at are some of the security-related notes on the update.

    A bug causing a game to not render the background correctly is "important", but security fixes et al are not?

    It's true. And yet you're a 'troll'.

    Me, I had to skip 10.5.7 (and let The Sims 3 sit uninstalled, because it required it), because I committed the heinous crime of having my LCD connected via a DVI-HDMI cable.

    I and everyone else who'd done so lost most of our resolutions. My 1920x1200 LCD would only run at 1920x1080 interlaced.

    This was broken for nearly FOUR MONTHS - and this is not a rare problem, there are THOUSANDS of Google hits on this issue.

    But no, you're a Troll.

    so basically you're having a whinge that you want the latest and the greatest without having to buy suitable hardware for it? cry me a fucking river.
