Apple has released the long awaited update to Mac OS X, version 10.0.4. The new update includes improved Classic performance, security enhancements, support for Apple's new 17" flat panel display, and more. From the ReadMe included with the update in the Receipts folder:
The 10.0.4 Update delivers a significant number of improvements for USB devices including additional external device support for iTunes CD burning, improved battery life for many PowerBook G3 systems, and Classic compatibility improvements. This update also provides the latest security updates to OpenSSH and 'sudo' services and includes support for Apple's newest digital flat-panel, the 17-inch Apple Studio Display. Note: The 10.0.4 Update will update Mac OS X v 10.0.3 to Mac OS X v 10.0.4.
You can download the update through the Software Update Control Panel.
The Mac Observer Spin:
Apple released versions 10.0.1, 10.0.2, and 10.0.3 so quickly, many of us have been looking for this update for several weeks. Color us spoiled. It's here now, and by releasing it so closely to MACWORLD, when Apple is expected to release version 10.1 of Mac OS X, the company is showing that they are committed to bringing updates as quickly as they can. Kudos to Apple for doing so.Above and beyond that, the TMO staff is downloading and installing the update and will bring you reports as soon as we can. So far, initial reports are that the Finder seems more responsive. We have a thread in the forums about the update for those who would like to discuss it.
