The update brings tweaks to Spotlight indexing of Exchange accounts, reliability of menu extras, problems with using four-finger swipes, Front Row video performance, VoiceOver improvements, and video performance for the newest iMac models. There are also fixes and improvements for handling fonts, graphics—especially when using DVI to Mini DisplayPort adapters—Mail, MobileMe, AFP networking, printing, and improved plug-in reliability in Safari. Mac OS X Server 10.6.2 includes all the above fixes, as well as a number of server-specifc improvements. Client management, Directory Services, mail services, mobile accounts, Open Directory, Podcast Producer, secure login, Software Update service, Web service, Server Admin tools, Workgroup Manager, Xgrid and more all got some attention this time around. Mac OS X 10.6.2 brings a number of security patches, which are also offered to users of 10.5.8 as Security Update 2009-006. The Apache web server, graphics and media subsystems, QuickTime, Login Services, OpenLDAP, OpenSSH, PHP, libxml, Dovecot, IPSec and other system components have been hardened against potential security vulnerabilities. In all, there are 43 separate security-related fixes in the respective updates.
