Une version 10.5.1 de notre logiciel préféré vient tout juste de sortir ! Il s'agit (comme vous vous en doutez), d'une mise à jour de service qui viendra corriger pas mal de bugs consécutifs à la sortie de la version 10.5. Je vous laisse apprécier la liste plutôt longue des modifications / corrections apportées par cette version 10.5.1. Une fois de plus, Apple sait être à l'écoute de ses clients, et la firme de Cupertino semble plus que jamais réactive.

Stability/Reliability
