10.4.11 Builds 8S151/8S2151 Distributed For Testing

Think Secret notes that last week Apple distributed Mac OS 10.4.11 build 8S151/8S2151 for PPC and Intel.

Builds 8S151 (PowerPC) and 8S2151 (Intel) feature a handful of additional fixes, including ones targeted at system hangs at shutdown when unmounting an NFS volume, audio drift glitches, incorrect size reporting on Sun Mass Storage Devices, and more.


However, the site notes that a handful of known issues indicates the build is still a few weeks away at best from general distribution.

Hmmmm, a few weeks away eh. I wonder if that means Leopard won't be released till the very end of October, like the iPhone.

My guess would be either October 25th (tuesday) or 28th (friday) and this is of course if everything goes well and it doesn't miss it's launch date again. recently it seems like Apple as said coming in [insert month] and doesn't get it shipped till nearly the last day of the month, AppleTv, iPhone, and now the iPod Touch. Seams clear to me that this will be a last day of the month item too,

The 10.4.11 release is entirely separate from the 10.5 release. I'm sure any delays in its release are due to extra bugs to fix, and not anything to do with 10.5.

Oh! Audio drifting fixes...good! I was just noticing that preview wasn't sounding every time I dragged a picture off the tray; same with emptying trash. Which, of course, has happened before.

Quite true for my NFS mounting home directory users.

If I wanted to get a copy of this, where could I go?

Or, does anyone have a copy of 10.4.11 8S2151 (Intel). I would like to try it now for the hell of it.
