Apple released the highly anticipated 10.5.3 update for Mac OS X on Wednesday. The OS update addressed issues with Finder and AirPort performance along with other applications including iCal, Mail and Time Machine.

The long list of issues the update addressed includes:

General

Address Book

AirPort

iCal

iChat

Mail

Parental Controls

Spaces

Time Machine

VoiceOver

Like any update, it's a good idea to back up important information before applying the Leopard update, and be sure to disconnect any peripheral devices -- including external hard drives -- ahead of time.

The Mac OS X 10.5.3 update is available via Apple's Software Update application and will eventually be available as a stand-alone installer at the Apple Support Web site.
