Mac OS X 10.6.5 update delayed

Snow Leopard users will have to wait a little longer for the anticipated 10.6.5 update. 9To5 Mac reported a week ago that a public release was imminent but it seems Apple have put the update on hold.

A few days ago however, 9T05 Mac reported that the developer seeds (which usually precede OS X updates) were only issued a few days ago so the wait shouldn’t be too much longer:

According to the developer seeds that have been released, OS X 10.6.5 will address the following issues:

• Improve reliability with Microsoft Exchange servers

• Address performance of some image-processing operations in iPhoto and Aperture

• Address stability and performance of graphics applications and games

• Resolve a delay between print 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”

The 10.6.5 update will be rolled out automatically to Snow Leopard users via Apple Software Update.
