Apple Seeds Another Mac OS X 10.4.9 (8P2120)

Wednesday January 17, 2007 12:20 pm PST by Arnold Kim
Apple has seeded another version of Mac OS X 10.4.9 to developers today. The releases appear to be accelerating, typically indicating the product may be near release.

Apple seeded the 8P2117 build during Macworld Expo just last week, and has now released 8P2120 to developers today.

The new seed has a 40+ laundry list of fixes and under "Known Issues" it lists "None".

The last update (10.4.8) to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) was released on September 29th, 2006.

Looking forward to it... maybe this will shake out some of the little oddities while we're waiting for Leopard... :)

I know there will be the imortal arguement about the mathematic significance, or lack thereof of the final "." but still leopard must be close.

Isn't that more like "back to spring" (instead of "still spring")?

I though the site said "mid 2007" a few days ago.... I'm pretty sure. And before that it was spring 2007.... :confused:

Or have I been on drugs or something...

EDIT: the last Leopard Beta Build (9A321 IIRC) has been seeded quite some time ago....
Judging by the fact that the 10.4.9 Beta seeds are getting very frequent, and thus the real release is imminent..... I would imagine a (very) late spring release of Leopard, i.e. June (technically spring and mid-2007, haha)

What I find interesting is the litany of alleged developer folks who posted during MWSF that 10.5 was no where near ready due to many bugs still.

Now this release with no known issues.

Have the developers taken the role of producing misinformation for Apple on rumor sites?

Are there 10.5 features that are not even in the wide developer release?

I posted quite some time ago I expected Apple to surprise the market with a 10.5 release before the stated Spring/March 2007 date but just after Vista has fully been distributed so they (Microsoft) cannot put the genie back in the bottle after seeing whatever Apple displays.

Yep, might just as well be June. Five months is a lot so I expect a final 10.4 update after this one just as Apple did around the Tiger introduction.

love me some updates even if 10.5 is only months away. I always convince myself this update will solve all my problems.
