It’s rainin’ software updates

We alerted you to the availability of Mac OS X v10.5.3 yesterday, expecting that Apple would be done for a while after seeding that monolithic 420MB giant of an update. It seems, however, that they had a lot more up their sleeves.
Server Admin Tools 10.5.3: These are tools, documentation, and utilities for remote server administration for users of Mac OS X server. You require Mac OS X Leopard on the client computer to install this 65MB package. Check out the company’s website to know about it in excruciating detail.
Logic Express Update 8.0.2: This update “addresses specific customer and compatibility issues of Logic Express 8.0”, weighs in at around 75MB, and is recommended for all Logic Express 8.0 users.
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.1: This tiny little update extends RAW file compatibility for both iPhoto ‘08 and Aperture 2 to include the following cameras:
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi/Kiss Digital x2/450D
- Epson R-D1
- Leaf AFi 7
- Leaf AFi 6
- Leaf AFi 5
- Pentax K200D
- Pentax K20D
Security Update 2008-003 (now in various flavors): Any major Mac OS X point update is followed by a generous helping of security updates—it’s routine, and this one is no exception (not that we’re complaining). This update comes in four versions, catering to the needs of Mac OS X desktop and server users on both Intel and PPC based Macs. For detailed information about it, feel free to stop by Apple.com.
All of the above are free of cost, as surprising as that may sound, and are available both through Software Update and the company’s support website. Join in on the fun, I say, everyone is invited to the party.
