Following the release of a number of software updates yesterday to add support for the new Retina MacBook Pro to Apple's Mac apps, the company has rolled out one more today with the release of iMovie 9.0.6 [Mac App Store].

This update provides general stability and compatibility improvements, including:

- Enhancements for the MacBook Pro with Retina display
- Language support for Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak, Thai, Turkish and Ukrainian

The update is also available via Apple's download pages.

The new Retina MacBook Pro is shipping with a special build of OS X Lion that includes Retina-enhanced versions of core Apple apps, and the company is also pushing out similar updates for its apps that are distributed separately. Given that the MacBook Pro is targeted at professionals, Apple has placed special emphasis on its pro apps, making sure that both Final Cut Pro and Aperture were ready with Retina support and other enhancements on launch day.

Are we going to get downloads like this on a regular basis for the next couple of years? I remember I used to weep as I downloaded daily updates on my poor old iPhone 3G for apps where the main/only difference was "optimized for Retina Display".
