FileMaker quietly rolled out a new update for FileMaker Pro 8.5 on Tuesday that adds Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility to the popular database application. The FileMaker Pro 8.5v2 update is available for FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Pro Advanced 8.5.

The update corrected a problem where FileMaker Pro would crash when creating or opening a document if the system language and region didn't match, and also fixed an issue that could cause a crash when exporting data for Microsoft Excel.

The update is free for FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Pro Avdanced 8.5 users, and is available for download at the FileMaker Web site.
