Apple's Mac OS X Leopard operating system - Image 1It's not exactly a Snow Leopard in a box, but Apple Mac users should make it a point to get the latest Mac OS X update just the same. Available via the Mac OS X Software Update option, the latest update for Leopard includes some general operating system improvements which enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac.

Mac OS X 10.5.4 can also be installed through the standalone installer available on the Apple Support Downloads page. However way you want to install the update, it is recommended that you back up your system before installing it.

Anyway, here's a consolidated list of all the changes and improvements brought about by the latest Mac OS X update:

iCal
  • Improves overall iCal reliability for meeting requests, cancellation notices, delegation, and syncing with iPhone.
  • Resolves an issue that prevents deleting an iCal event without notifying the creator.
  • Addresses an issue in which events in all calendars affect availability.  A checkbox now enables information-only calendars to be transparent from free/busy lookups.
  • Resolves a UI issue preventing delegated calendars from showing up as a separate window.
  • Addresses an issue with copying and pasting attendees from one event to another.
  • Resolves an issue in which iCal may not delete events after a specified time interval, even when set to do so in iCal preferences.

  • Resolves an Exposé issue that may result in only a subset of windows being shown.
