Apple Seeds Another Mac OS X 10.5.3 (9D11)
Hot on the heels of the 9D10 seed, Apple appears to be working aggressively on the next version of Mac OS X with a new developer release (9D11) only days after the first.
Apple has detailed 19 more fixes in the latest seed and has asked developers to focus testing on a broad range of features including AirPort, Dashboard, Back To My Mac, Automator, iCal, Printing, Time Machine and many others.
The rapid development release is curious at this early stage of seeding. Typically, Apple starts frequent seeding to developers when preparing for final release. As of build 9D11, there are no known issues -- suggesting Apple may be targeting a quick release. Apple last updated Mac OS X to version 10.5.2 in February.

I'm just glad to read that they are working on the AirPort. All of my internet applications are being wonky lately. And it's not anything I can pin down, so I hope this fixes it. :D (Oh, that's what you mean by grey icons...)

This is pretty awesome and it's very nice to see Apple be so quick with updates nowadays. It shows that they truly care or at least pretends to. :)

In the past when Apple has pushed out updates agressively it was becuse some other soon to be released product depended on it. I'm wondering if Apple does not have some new hardware about to be released. Or maybe some new software that depends on an OS upgrade. Maybe the long promised Final Cut Server? Who knows, but I'm betting something is causing them rush the OS update.

Arn stop pulling our legs. The gray is enough. We go days at a time without any updates, sometimes weeks. Then all kinds of stuff on this annoying day?

It's like they are trying to get rid of all the bugs so they can concentrate on something massive.
