Wink Mac OSX 10.3.5 is here !!

Dont know why i put two exclamation marks there as it is only an interim update, but at 43MB not exactly a lightweight one..
Am i the first to find it and download it? Who cares it is downloading as i type this so i will let you know if it buggers up all my OS or it makes it even more stable than it was already.

just a snippet from Appleinsider as to what it brings.

Apple Computer, Inc. seeded developers Thursday evening with Mac OS X 10.3.5 Update, which weighs in just shy of 43 megabytes and carries build number 7M18. The system updater will reportedly deliver improvements to Audio and Sound, Bluetooth, Firewire, Graphics, OpenGL, Mail, Safari, and Networking.

According to Apple documentation, key enhancements to Mac OS X 10.3.5 include updated Mail and Image Capture applications, improved font management, ATI and NVIDIA graphics drivers, additional FireWire and USB device compatibility, improved Bluetooth compatibility for Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse and Bluetooth phones, and improved compatibility for third party applications.

Sources said that Mac OS X 10.3.5 will bundle previous standalone security updates, while also including improved support for NTFS formatted volumes and improved reliability for user logins and mounting of home directories in a networked environment.
Will update all you Mac users when i have had a chance to play with it.
No doubt Angrynorth, marcus etc etc will be along shortly

Yup.It was only seeded a few hours ago i think on apple's download servers, so god knows what you were downloading!!!

Let me check on my (no remarks) package..hang on.........you may be right.it all depends on your current os and config.my download is 22.9MB with a 5.3MB security update, so sorry for talking out my backside.
I guess that yours is OK and that i am living in the twilight zone.Ignore all of the above LOL

Just started this update on the works machine and I get the security update here too now, 5.3MB

Maybe it wasn't out when I downloaded 10.3.5 last night.

44MB file will be the Combo updater (takes you from 10.3.x to 10.3.5) and the 22MB file will be the 10.3.4 - 10.3.5 updated.
