Apple today released MacBook Air (Late 2010) Software Update 2.0, a minor software update designed to address sleep issues on the company's new 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch MacBook Air models released last October.

This update resolves an issue with some MacBook Air (Late 2010) systems that prevents the system from sleeping.

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.
