QuickTime 6.5.2 Update is Available

from the Apple QuickTime web page but not via the Software Update preference pane nor from Apple's support web page as of late yesterday. According to Apple, v6.5.2 is for Mac OS X 10.2 and later:

Version 6.5.2 is an important release that includes a security update and bug fixes. This release also includes enhancements in the Apple Lossless Encoder and AAC codecs, as well as improved support for iTunes and other QuickTime-based applications.

We downloaded and installed iTunes 4.7 and QuickTime 6.5.2 with no problem. We don't have an iPod Photo (not yet anyway) so we can't test iTunes 4.7's new features. But we got our free song of the week (John Legend's "Used to Love U") from the iTunes Music Store with v4.7 and played the Apple/U2 Special Music Event video stream using QuickTime 6.5.2.
