[MACEP] New at ftp.mesd--Mac OSX 10.3.6 Combo Update

[John Bromley]

The following files are new or updated in the /pub/mac directory of 
the FTP server located at <ftp://ftp.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/mac>.


Mac OSX 10.3.6 Combo Update
<ftp://ftp.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/mac/MacOSXUpdateCombo1036.dmg>

A "combo" that can update any version 10.3, 10.3.1, 10.3.2, 10.3.3, 
10.3.4, or 10.3.5 to 10.3.6.

This type of update, particularly the combo, is useful if you have 
multiple computers to update and only want to download 10.3.6 once.

Enhancements

These are some of the enhancements included with the Mac OS X 10.3.6 Update.


Internet and .Mac
	*	Resolves an issue in which Safari might not load 
webpages correctly when the hard drive name included a non-ASCII 
character such as a symbol, diacritical, or two-byte character.
	*	 Safari no longer times out after 60 seconds when 
attempting to connect to a webpage or to submit form data. With this 
update, Safari will keep trying indefinitely (or until you cancel the 
attempt).
	*	 With this update, a synchronized iDisk correctly 
resizes .Mac storage after its allocation changes.
	*	 Addresses a kernel panic issue that could occur when 
using an external, wireless USB broadband modem with Mac OS X 10.3.5.

  Networking

	*	 Addresses a situation in which a file name change 
that occured on a server while a client was running Terminal resulted 
in the client Terminal's failure to recognize the change.
	*	 Addresses an issue that could prevent login via a 
network user account.
	*	 Resolves an issue for Mac OS X 10.3.5 in which, 
sometimes, network-based applications could not open an application 
from an automounted AFP volume, such as /Network/Applications/.
	*	 SMB/CIFS servers in /Network no longer suddenly 
disappear and reappear after the network changes.

  Applications
	*	Addresses an issue that could occur when using some 
scholastic information management applications with Mac OS X 10.3.5; 
this alert could appear: "Another module has 'locked' the MS Tx file. 
You will gain access when their task is completed."
	*	 Addresses an issue in which "zooming" in Halo 1.0.5 
could lead to blurry video when using certain Nvidia video cards.
	*	 Many calculating and conversion features within 
Calculator are improved by this update.
	*	 Addresses an issue in which TextEdit could 
unexpectedly quit when changing text from Euphermia regular to italic.

Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 could unexpectedly quit.

  Other
	*	Improves ColorSync calibrating for Apple Cinema HD 
Display (23-inch DVI) displays.

sometimes remain dark when waking from display sleep (the mouse 
pointer might appear, but normal function could not be restored) if 
using Screen Saver password on a portable computer.
	*	 Adds WMC connectivity capability for Nokia 7610 phones.
	*	 Addresses an issue for Mac OS X 10.3.5 in which some

could show up for some fonts.
