Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.3 v1.1

Weird things happen and, when Apple is the subject, someone usually gets fired for that. Or probably not. Well at least that’s what the story says.

Thing is, it seems like Apple has release an “update” to Mac OS X 10.6.3 (both client and server) which is 800MB in size, it’s available here and it doesn’t even show up in Software Update. It’s a Combo updated simply labelled “v1.1”. Perhaps someone messed up and accidentally put it online? Maybe not, and it will start showing up in Software Update soon.

Anyway, we’re including the changelog (which seems the same of 10.6.3) after the break. Go update now.
