Boot your Software Update up because the Cupertino nerds have decided to update Mac OS X.5 once more. Leopard now reaches 10.5.8 status and for months already so-called pundits have been saying that the most recent update the latest for Leopard was until the release of Snow Leopard. We here at Gadzooki will not make any such claims as we do not consider ourselves Apple pundits, instead we will tell you what’s new in 10.5.8:

Upgrades Safari to version 4.0.2.
Improves the accuracy of full history search in Safari 4.
Resolves an issue in which certain resolutions might not appear in the Display pane in System Preferences.
Dragging an Aperture image into Automator now invokes an Aperture action instead of incorrectly invoking an iPhoto action.
Resolves an issue that could prevent importing of large photo and movie files from digital cameras.
Improves overall Bluetooth reliability with external devices, USB webcams and printers.
Addresses an issue that could cause extended startup times.
Improves iCal reliability with MobileMe Sync and CalDav.
Addresses data reliability issues with iDisk and MobileMe.
Improves overall reliability with AFP.
Improves overall reliability with Managed Client.
Improves compatibility and reliability for joining AirPort networks.
Improves Sync Service reliability.
Includes additional RAW image support for several third-party cameras.
