The update weighs in at 342 KB and requires Mac OS X 10.6.5.

Apple has released several software updates related to graphics and sleep issues with the new MacBook Air, with the most recent update prior to today coming in early December to addresses problems with booting or waking to black screen or the system becoming unresponsive.
