Mac OS X 10.5.5 released

Earlier this week Apple released Mac OS X 10.5.5. There are a lot of fixes but I will just list the ones potentially useful to Pro App users.

* Addresses stability issues with video playback, processor core idling, and remote disc sharing for MacBook Air
* Includes extensive graphics enhancements [not sure what this means really]
* Improves Time Machine reliability with Time Capsule.
* Addresses performance issues that may affect initial and in-progress Time Machine backups.
* Fixes an issue in which an incorrect alert message could appear stating that a Time Machine backup volume does not have enough free space.
* Time Machine can now back up items in ~/Library/Application Support.

Usual disclaimer applies - don't update in the middle of a project, don't update unless it's absolutely essential and always have a backup or clone of your system handy in case things go awry.
