Mac OS X 10.6.3 Released

Maybe when it actually boosts real world benchmarks.

Maybe once drives start shipping with it enabled, so you suffer a massive performance degradation without TRIM being called by the OS (since the firmware isn't collecting its own garbage).

Maybe once Intel can ramp up their production enough to take OEM customers for their SSDs and it can really go mainstream.

Yep, this issue bit me. There's no real fix, but to keep sshfs working you can grab the Leopard static binary: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/MACFUSE_FS_SSHFS and mount your volumes from the command line.

This has happened before; I wish MacFusion weren't so fragile.

Perhaps there are drivers for video cards old and new crammed in to there to facilitate the new OpenGL 3.0 support.

To be fair, the 10.6.3 update is actually ~437MB via Software Update. The Combo update includes all past updates (1.6.1 and 1.6.2).

... but if you really care about X11 support, you should probably be using the XQuartz releases anyway (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/). They're still "official", just not guaranteed to be as stable as OS updates.

Why?

I don't mean to be snarky. I don't actually understand why this is a "mind blowing" release (other than the fact that it was released by Apple).
