Apple has released the Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update via its Software Update utility and on the Web. According to the company, the 10.5.4 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. New features and improvements include the following:

General
- Recent Apple security updates.
- Resolves an issue with saving and reopening Adobe Creative Suite 3 files on a remote server.
- Includes additional RAW image support for several cameras.
- Addresses an issue that may result in a partially installed X11 application.
- Improves L2TP VPN client reliability.

AirPort
- Addresses AirPort reliability issues with 5GHz networks.
- Addresses AirPort issues that may result in slower performance in Logic Studio or MainStage.

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.

- 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.

Safari
- Addresses a potential performance issue when loading secure web pages.
- Resolves issues that may be encountered when accessing secure web pages with client certificates that reside on a smart card.

Spaces and Expose
- Addresses an issue in which switching from a space with a Finder window keeps the Finder as the active application instead of the application residing in the destination space.
- Fixes an issue in which dragging an application from the list of application assignments in Spaces System Preferences does not assign the application to the desired space.
- Resolves an Expose issue that may result in only a subset of windows being shown.

The Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update weighs in at 88MB, and requires Mac OS X 10.5.3 or later. A Combo update is also available here.

Time to bring on the iPhone 3G and MobileMe! A Mac mini update would be nice too.

Wow that was fast considering they gave the developers version to people just a few weeks ago.

[Weee]

No trouble with 10.5.4 here.

I don't see any mention of MobileMe. Do you guys think it will go live this week?

[Texark]

Good lord, the combo update is 561MB. That's even bigger than the 10.5.3 combo.

The fan in my Mac mini seems to ramp up and down more with 10.5.4. I was just playing a flash-based game and it sounded like a Harrier jet engine. It never did this before.

Am I the only one noticing this?
