As we reported earlier, Apple released Mac OS X 10.5.4 today, an update which fixes several issues with iCal, AirPort, Safari, and Spaces & Exposé. We’ve now got some additional details.

AirPort has been updated, addressing reliability issues with 5GHz networks and issues that may result in slower performance in Logic Studio or MainStage.

The update to iCal fixed seven issues with the application, including reliability for meeting requests, cancellation notices, delegation, and syncing with iPhone/iPod touch. The new update also fixed an issue that prevented deleting an iCal event without notifying the creator. iCal now also includes a checkbox that excludes information-only calendars from affecting availability and a former issue with copying and pasting attendees from one event to another has been fixed.

Safari’s performance issues when loading secure web pages has also been resolved. Another Safari performance issue where client certificates are on a smart card has also been addressed.

Along with all these new fixes, Spaces & Exposé received a couple of updates, as well. A problem with Exposé that may have resulted in only a subset of windows being shown has been fixed, and problems that occurred when switching from a space keeps the Finder as the active application and dragging an application from the list of application assignments does not assign the app to the Space have both been addressed.

Mac OS X 10.5.4 also includes additional RAW image support for several cameras and an issue with saving and reopening Adobe Creative Suite 3 files on a remote server has been fixed. Improvements for L2TP VPN client reliability have also been made in the new update.

The update is available from Mac OS X’s Software Update and from Apple’s website.
