Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.3.9 7W77
Wednesday night, Apple seeded Mac OS X 10.3.9 7W77 to developers. The new seed appears to only contain minor changes to the latest OS X revision with bug fixes for audio drivers, firewire video capture performance improvements, and wake from sleep fixes.
Areas of testing include AFPServer file transfers, BlueTooth, DVD Player, Date and Time
Utilities, FireWire devices, Fonts, Mail, iDisk Syncing, Modems (internal and external), Networking, Printing, Safari, Sleep tests, Terminal, USB Devices, and general system usability & reliability.
The previous seed (7W72) was issued on Feb 26th.
Speculation on the release as well as the final Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) release remain active topics of conversation amongst the Mac faithful. Tiger will be a major topic for developers at WWDC 2005 which takes place between June 6-10 in San Francisco.

Lets hurry up and get 10.3.9 out. The way I see it this is just one step closer to Tiger! At this rate I probably wouldn't expect a 10.3.10.

It seems pretty clear to me and most others here that we can expect Tiger at WWDC. If I recall correctly, wouldn't developers get a "gold master" edition before it comes out to the public? We would know if that was the case, so it is safe to say the present time frame points to June/WWDC.

The new ethernet driver alone will make it worth it.

Gawd - ya think?
One would've hoped that by now all that "wake from sleep" trouble would have been fixed by now.
Perhaps in Tiger they will be. Either that or we'll be starting all over again from scratch.

You know what's weird?
I've had approximately zero wake from sleep issues, or any other issues not universally present (SMB networking, for instance), in previous builds of OS X.
Until 10.3.8. I've locked up twice waking from sleep since it was installed.
Funny that 10.3.8 had fixes for a problem I had never experienced, and the fixes made me experience the original problem!
Well, at least they poked it good and hard. When chasing an intermittent bug, it's one of the best ways to get a handle on the problem.
