MacBook Pro, AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule firmware updated

Apple has released three new firmware updates all at once. MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.5 "resolves an issue where a MacBook Pro being used with a power adapter may unexpectedly shut down under heavy workload if the battery charge level is near empty." It's not entirely clear which models of MacBook Pro are covered by this firmware update; if in doubt, check for it via Software Update.

Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.9 adds RAW image support to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11 for 11 new camera models.

AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule Firmware Update 7.6 addresses the most issues of all the firmware updates Apple's released today. According to Apple, the update is for all 802.11n AirPort Express, 802.11n AirPort Extreme and Time Capsules and addresses these issues:

An issue with performance on overlapping wireless networks
An issue with AirPlay audio streaming
An issue with configuring multiple entries for DNS servers

The MacBook Pro and Digital Camera RAW updates can both be found via Software Update, but the updates for AirPort devices will have to be downloaded via AirPort Utility.

Where is the Airport Extreme update that allows me to disable broadcasting of the SSID for the Guest Network?

After updating my AirportExpress firmware, AppleTV 2 devices on the Express' N-only network were no longer able to be controlled by iPad2 or iPhone 4S on a separate wireless network in my home. Prior to upgrading the firmware everything 'just worked'. So if you're thinking of upgrading your Airport express and rely on multiple wireless networks in your home, you may want to wait.

Where's the Airport firmware update to allow iCloud BTMM support? I rely heavily on MobileMe BTMM to access numerous Airport routers remotely, and I'm afraid that functionality is going to make its way onto the list of MobileMe features that iCloud doesn't match. Say it ain't so!
