Mac OS X 10.4.9 Build 8P135 (PPC) and 8P2137 (Intel) Seeded

Monday March 12, 2007 7:35 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
Apple has released another Mac OS X 10.4.9 seed to developers last night. Apple has had a number of developer seeds for the 10.4.9 build over the past few months, with users expecting the final update to be released any day.

This release lists only one known issue: "After installing the reversioner and this update, AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002 may show up in Software Updates again"

I completely ignored the build number in the title and my heart skipped a beat for a second there. MacPro updates tomorrow I can feel it.

Tomorrow might be the big day, it seems.

All signs point to yes.

What are the chances of 10.4.9 being released to us tomorrow if they just seeded another version to developers, 2 days ago?
On the positive side, if it does come, bring it on! ;)

Think about it....Apple has enough stuff to release something every other week, not including software besides Leopard...until WWDC

MacPro tomorrow? AppleTV finally? 10.4.9 soon?

Would a new Mac Pro, or any other new machines, require an update to the OS for them to run ?

Considering the slip-up of the 8-core Mac Pro, it seems more than likely that it'll ship with 10.4.9 at this stage. Hopefully the Mac Pro wont be the only thing undergoing an update tomorrow.

Hi,
I'm saying this already a few months now.
10.4.9 will be released just before, during or just after the release from Leopard. There are a lot of reasons for that.
Like for instance iChat. Both Tiger and Leopard need to be compatible with each other. Even when it's technical possible that Apple should release 10.4.9 right now, they are risking that there will be problems. Leopard needs to be backwards compatible with some frameworks and the kernel from Tiger.
So they want to do this right. Releasing 10.4.9 weeks/months before 10.5 is very risky for Apple.
The risk is that they need to update 10.5 within weeks after it's release (10.5.1). It's that or they need to cross the psychological border and make a new update for Tiger (10.4.10), which is unlikely.
Regards

Why do tou think it would be 10.4.10 IF they have to i think they would go to a nother digit 10.4.9.1, 10.4.9.2, etc :rolleyes:
