Most people were awaiting this, even the people at Macrumors, expected that this update would release today. The much anticipated Mac OSX 10.6.5 update was said to bring in Airprint to the the iPad, but when downloading it today, underneath the description it wrote of no such thing. I was kind of surprised, cause I thought Apple were going to release it along with this update. This update is available for everyone using Mac OSX 10.6 and it features the following: 

  • Improve the reliability between Microsoft Exchange servers
  • Improve performance of some image-processing operations in iPhoto and Aperture
  • address stability and performance of graphics applications and games
  • resolve the delay between printing jobs
  • address a printing issue for some HP printers connected to an AirPort Extreme
  • resolve an issue when dragging contacts from Address Book to iCal
  • address an issue where dragging an item from a stack causes the Dock to not automatically hide
  • resolve an issue with Wikipedia information not displaying correctly in Dictionary
  • improve performance of MainStage on certain Mac systems
  • resolve spacing issues with OpenType fonts
  • improve reliability with some Bluetooth braille displays
  • resolve a VoiceOver issue when browsing some web sites with Safari 5

These were the bugs which 10.6.5 is set to fix and it display's nothing about, iPad and printing features. So we might have to wait for that, but other than that I was taking a look at the size of the file and was amazed when I saw it read: 517.3mb! That is indeed one of the biggest updates, I have seen, and for all Mac OSX users, to update remember to go to the left hand corner and click "Software Update" and then it will find updates and everything should be straightforward from there on. But keep yourself some time, because it seems this update will take quite a while to download...
