We've been seeing chatter about dev builds of 10.6.3 for over a month now. It almost seemed like this update wasn't ever going to drop. Thankfully the update dropped today and from the list of fixes and improvement, this is a good one:
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
fix glowing, stuck, or dark pixels when viewing video from the iMac (Late 2009) built-in iSight camera
As you can figure all the tech and Mac sites covered it...TUAW for example. One of the biggest and most important reasons to make sure you update quickly is the number of secur... because keeping you machine secure should be one of the most important things you do.
Speaking of security I found out about iAlertU which let's you use your Apple Remote to turn a nifty little security system on for your Mac. Turn it on, and if someone jostles or touches your Mac, your basic car alarm combined with taking a picture using your iSight.
Now that sounds like something good for the next coffee shop...or a prank for friends.
