Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.5.8

From DailyTech: Apple's OS X 10.6 may be just around the corner, but that isn't stopping the folks from Cupertino from updating its current Leopard operating system to version 10.5.8.

* 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.

* 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.
