To perform the update via Leopard's built-in Software Update mechanism, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, select the Mac OS X 10.5.7 Update and hit install for an automatic installation of the software. Mac owners can use one of two methods to update to the new version of Leopard. The System Preferences are also seeing changes (though small) in panels such as Bluetooth, Desktop & Screen Saver, Energy Saver, MobileMe, Parental Controls, Print & Fax, Sound, Startup Disk, Time Machine, Trackpad, and Universal Access, according to the same source. Those are: Address Book (4.1.2), Automator (2.0.3), Dashboard, DVD Player, Exposé, Front Row, iCal (3.0.7), iChat (4.0.8), Mail (3.6), Preview (4.2), Safari 4 Beta, Spaces, Time Machine, Bluetooth File Exchange (2.1.6), RAID Utility (1.0.3), Remote Install Mac OS X, System Profiler (10.5.7 this is updated each cycle), Terminal (2.0.2), and X11. The folks at Macworld have revealed that the list of programs touched by this updater is large. We will be discussing those in a separate piece. The company does, however, link to two support articles detailing the slew of changes, including security tweaks. This is all Apple mentions at first glance. The 10.5.7 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac. In usual Apple manner, the Mac maker doesn't fully disclose the contents of the update, while support documents only outline the major changes occurring with the software. The company has also issued a Security Update 2009-002 for Tiger and Leopard-related security issues. Leopard users can download and install the new software right now (either in simple or combo form), for free. Confirming everyone's expectations for the week, Apple has finally released the long-awaited Mac OS X 10.5.7 maintenance and security update.
