Apple released two Pro App updates bright and early this Monday morning:ProKit Update 4.5: "This update improves reliability for Apple's professional applications and is recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express, Aperture, Logic Studio and Logic Express."
Plugin Manager 1.7.3: "This update improves reliability for Apple's professional applications and is recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Express, Aperture, Logic Studio and related SDKs."
According the release notes for the Plugin Manager update, it addresses a backwards compatibility issue with Apple and third-party filters in the applications listed above. Users of any of these apps and Motion should fire up Software Update and install the recommended updates. No reboot is required (and there was much rejoicing!).
Update: These updates were new to me! Sorry for the false alarm all, I just installed FCP and jumped the gun. That being said, be sure to check out Apple's list of available updates. You never know what you'll find on there.
Thanks to everyone in the comments for setting me straight.

I don't understand this. My software updater did not find this, so I looked on Apple's Software download page. According to that:
Prokit Update 4.5 was released on 2/5/08 and
Plugin Manager 1.7.2 was released on 3/25/08.
Am I missing something?

I don't see any ProKit Update 4.5 listed on Apple's Support Downloads page. I see Pro Application Update 2008-01, but that doesn't seem to needed for Logic Express 8.01.

I too had no luck finding these supposed updates, although I see in the related headlines of this page that the Plugin Manager update 1.7.3 was mentioned 48 days ago!
