This is characteristically a maintenance update, tying up a few loose ends before 10.6 arrives. For perspective, a few of the more substantial changes: CalDav support has finally been fixed in iCal, BlueTooth and Wi-Fi stability has been tightened up, while native RAW viewing has been expanded to a few more cameras’ formats. So yeah, recork that champagne. Let us know how your upgrades go in the comments—or if Apple’s tucked away any surprises for us.
