Earlier today, Apple released several patch bundles, including fixes for
several problems reported through the Month Of Apple Bugs project, and
revised Daylight Savings Time patches, for Mac OS X versions 10.3 (Panther)
*and* 10.4 (Tiger).
Apple recommends installing all the patches, even if your computer is used
in a location that does not observe Daylight Savings Time (e.g. Arizona,
Hawaii).
For more information on the patches Apple released today:

Still no word from Apple on their support policy for non-current versions
of Mac OS and other Apple software.
