Weighing in at an impressively sized minimum download of 437.2MB (Much larger if you haven’t updated in a while), Apple released the latest updates for Mac OS X Snow Leopard sometime yesterday. The size of the update is more than justified, however, with the long list of fixes and tweaks it brings along with it.

Updates of note include, but are in no way limited to the following:

  • Improve the reliability and compatibility of QuickTime X
  • Address compatibility issues with OpenGL-based applications
  • Address an issue that causes background message colors to display incorrectly in Mail
  • Resolve an issue that prevented files with the # or & characters in their names from opening in Rosetta applications
  • Resolve an issue that prevented files from copying to Windows file servers
  • Improve performance of Logic Pro 9 and Main Stage 2 when running in 64-bit mode
  • Improve sleep and wake reliability when using Bonjour wake on demand
  • Address a color issue in iMovie with HD content
  • Improve printing reliability
  • Resolve issues with recurring events in iCal when connected to an Exchange server
  • Improve the reliability of 3rd party USB input devices
  • Fix glowing, stuck, or dark pixels when viewing video from the iMac (Late 2009) built-in iSight camera
