Mac OS X 10.3.9 is an update for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) that was released by Apple Computer on April 15, 2005.
==What's New in Mac OS X 10.3.9==
* File sharing and directory services reliability for mixed Mac and PC networks
* Mail, Safari and Stickies application reliability 
* Compatibility for third party applications and devices
Previous stand-alone Security Updates have also been included.
==Detailled improvements==
* Finder:
**Addresses an issue in which copied files could become fragmented (but still usable) when you copy more than one file at the same time in the Finder.
**Addresses a rare issue in which a file could become damaged when copying to a FAT16 or FAT32-formatted volume.
**Improves reliability when mounting (making available) a disk image larger than 4.7 GB (the size of a normal DVD disc).
* Safari:
**Accessing certain websites, such as msnbc.com, mail.yahoo.com, ticketmaster.com, and others, no longer displays a "bad server response" alert that could occur in Safari. 
**Addresses an issue in which "safe download" files are not automatically opened after downloading. 
**SSL webpages (pages with URLs that start with https) load faster in Safari. 
**Adds some important VeriSign root certificates to Safari, allowing you to connect to certain secure websites that you might not have been able to surf before. 
**Adds other trusted root certificates to Safari, such as VISA and RSA.
* Stickies: Issues where Stickies could unexpectedly quit when creating a new note or become invisible are resolved. Also, Stickies windows can now be minimised (this was an issue with Mac OS X 10.3.4 through 10.3.8).
* Further improvements include: 
**Addresses slow vertical tracking and intermittent trackpad behavior on PowerBook G4 12-inch 1.5GHz, 15-inch 1.67/1.5GHz, and 17-inch 1.67GHz computers. 
**Adds an "Apple Internal 56k Modem (v.32)" modem choice that you can use if you have difficulty using Verizon's Airfone Jet Connect service. 
**Addresses an issue with Mac OS X 10.3.6 and later in which the Calculator window won't appear if the Speak Button Pressed or Speak Total options are enabled. 
**Fixes an issue at the login window, where clicking the small space just below the bottom user account picture would produce an alert.
**Addresses an issue in which the startup time in Mac OS X 10.3.6 through 10.3.8 may be extended if a large number of PostScript fonts are installed. 
**If a user's PowerBook G4 sometimes wakes up with a kernel panic, installing this update may help. 
**Addresses a data loss issue that could occur when syncing your iDisk at the same time that .Mac servers are experiencing heavy usage. 
**Avoids a potential Mail issue if the application is running when Daylight Savings Time changes. 
**Addresses some formatting issues that could occur when replying to HTML messages in Mail.
