Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.5.2 and Java SE 6 Preview 8 for Leopard
Apple has seeded developers with two updates tonight.
The first is the Mac OS X 10.5.2 (9C7) update which lists fixes to 76 distinct issues. Bug fixes range from memory leaks, various printing issues, SMB support and more. Apple issued Mac OS X 10.5.1 in November and has recently updated retail copies of Leopard to include the full 10.5.1 version. A Page 2 rumor pegs the Mac OS X 10.5.2 final release at Macworld Expo in January.
Next, Apple has finally seeded Java SE 6 Preview 8 for Leopard. Apple had been secretive about the Java 6 support for Leopard and the product launch was met with disappointment amongst Java developers hoping for support for the latest version. Tonight's release provides an implementation of Sun's Java SE 6 for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and includes Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_01. This latest seed requires a 64-bit capable Intel-powered Mac and is described as having received only limited testing thus far.

Apple: please fix Mail.app. It's pretty buggy in Leopard.
And safari, Wifi reliability, Macbook Pro wake from sleep and Quicktime! Leopard is quite the roachfest at the moment IMHO!

Would love to see a changelog too.
Good luck, they barely release a proper changelog when they actually release an update, let alone a pre-release to developers.

I won't disagree.
It's still nice despite all that but it needs some polish for sure.

So does this mean java 6 will be 64bit only :\
if that's the case and apple is allready rejecting it's 32 bit user base... I dunno what to say.

iJawn108: No, I think they'll do a 32/64bit ub when they release it... they still have much work to do.
And J2SE6 DP8?! how the hell did I miss 1-7???
In any case, can anyone confirm if the java DP is available to all ADC members?

I must say that I feel pretty secure on Tiger right now, which seems to be comparatively rock solid. Obviously, it doesn't have the same features, but it's not like using Windows 3.1 or some such thing.
