OS X 10.3.7 Development Underway? [Updated]
AppleInsider reports that less than two weeks after 10.3.6 was released, Apple is already circulating internal builds of 10.3.7. Reportedly to be released before year's end, developers should be receiving their first builds within the next few weeks.
[Update] - According to Think Secret, OS X 10.3.7 build 7S202 was released to Select and Premier developers late Tuesday night.
While details surrounding these very early builds are scant, sources say Mac OS X 10.3.7 will deliver enhancements to FireWire Audio, OpenGL, CoreGraphics, Multicast DNS, mLAN Audio, CoreFoundation, and AppKit.
The update is also said to include revisions to the Mach Kernel, PDF and PostScript rendering, ATI Radeon graphics drivers (8500, 9700), and Nvidia GeForce graphics drivers (3, 2MX, FX).

hopefully it will improve Fps in game. Also what happens if they get to 10.3.9 will the next one be 10.3.10 and then 10.3.11? that would be weird

"Before year's end?" Does that mean they won't be releasing a fix for the MDD audio issue for a long while? That's not very responsible of them :P

Does anyone actually sleep at Apple?
A few people, but most go home for that. :D :p
Anyway, does the rumored update have new drivers for the Radeon 9700 Mobility, or just the regular 9700?

Better PostScript rendering is the only change that I consider particularly important. New graphics card drivers are always nice, especially when you take Quartz Extreme into account. Other than that, though, I don't use any of the other things that are supposed to be updated.

It's not unusual to release a tweak to the OS to handle new hardware. With a MacWorld coming up, this may include new code for new models of Mac..

aren't the drivers handled by ATI and nVidia? or does Apple make them?
anyway this is always good, they just put one out and they are working on the next one that is amazing! I hope that they keep this pace! our uptimes will suffer, but that's a small price to pay for stability i guess
