First Leopard Update Features Fixes Aplenty

By Scott Gilbertson November 16, 2007 Categories: Operating Systems, Software & Tools

leopardbox.jpgApple has released its first round of Leopard improvements and bug fixes. The OS X 10.5.1 update weighs in at 110MB and can be grabbed through Software Update or directly from the Apple site.

Unlike some of its software updates, Apple actually provides a good bit of detail about what’s new in the first Leopard revision. Among the notable fixes is a change in the way the Finder handles moving files to external drives, addressing a nasty bug that could lead to data loss if the transfer was interrupted. For more information, see our earlier coverage.

Those of you with mixed OS setups will be happy to know that networking improvements in this Leopard update fix a bug where Windows shared folders would show up as read-only when connected via SMB.

Time Machine also gets some import fixes. An issue where files restored using Time Machine would end up in the backup hierarchy rather than the folders to which they belong, has been resolved.

Other improvements include fixing issues with the Firewall, Airport, iCal, Mail, Printing and more.

The update also includes the security fixes mentioned in our coverage of the Tiger update.
