SlideShow update recommended for Aperture 3
Following on the heels of the Aperture 3 introduction, Apple on Tuesday also released maintenance updates for RAW compatibility and a SlideShow bug. Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.0 extends RAW support for Aperture 3 and iPhoto 09 to include several additional cameras and formats such as Canon's PowerShot S90, sRAW, and mRAW; Leica's D-LUX 4; and Panasonic's Lumix DMC-G1, DMC-GH1 and DMC-LX3.
The Aperture update addresses an issue that reportedly interferes with video playback when using Aperture 3 on Snow Leopard.
Both updates are now available for free from Apple's Support pages or via Software Update. [RAW download - 6.4MB] [Aperture download - 62.3MB]

Release day
So Apple releases a patch to Aperture 3 the same day they release Aperture 3? Haven't they heard of QC? This really doesn't look good from a PR point of view.
