Last weekend we were notified that Amazon had put Apple’s OS X version 10.6 (aka Snow Leopard) up for pre-order. Well, it looks like Snow Leopard’s release is even closer than before as Apple has just issued a software update for OS X which will bring the operating system up to version 10.5.8.

Below is the change log for 10.5.8:
