Apple has just released Mac OS X 10.5.6 that comes with several fixes and tweaks.
The Mac OS X 10.5.6 Update is recommended for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard versions 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2, 10.5.3, 10.5.4, and 10.5.5. It includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.
Below is a list of some of the highlights of the update:
- Improves reliability of Address Book syncing with iPhone and other devices and applications.

Here is another news for all those jailbreak enthusiasts, This update will disable your pwnage tool and will no longer let you jailbreak your iPhones and iPod Touch (but for how long is the question). The said update prevents jailbreaking by disabling the software at the computer level, a step up from what the company usually does which is just release a firmware update that re-locks the iPhone. Now it’s stopping your Mac from recognizing the device in DFU (device firmware update) mode by inflicting new code on the USB ports on Apple computers. [Gizmodo]
