Apple Continues Mac OS X 10.5.3 (9d27) Development
Apple issued a new seed of Mac OS X 10.5.3 (build 9D27) to ADC developers tonight, detailing a number of new bug fixes and listing no known issues. The newest version of Mac OS X provides a number of bug fixes and stability improvements over the current public version (10.5.2) but remains in limited testing amongst developers as Apple finalizes its code base. Apple first started testing Mac OS X 10.5.3 on March 28th.
Apple appears to have begun seeding these test versions more frequently than in the past. Historically, Apple has waited until development was wrapping up before accelerating their seeds.
Regardless, we've heard anecdotal reports that even the latest version has stability issues which means Apple still has some work to do. Once released, the 10.5.3 update will be available for free through Mac OS X 10.5's Software Update.

Good to hear Apple is fixing up the bugs in Leopard.

I wonder if this will have any code in it to purposely break hackintoshes now that Psystar is shipping?

I believe the 10.5.x releases tend to be the ones that put hackintoshes at risk of breaking without additional updates.
So if it does, it might not be intentional.

You know, that could very well be the reason behind the delay.
Perhaps we'll also see some form of firmware updates pre/post 10.5.3?

I really think you're being more paranoid than is usually allowed outside the realms of sensationalist havens like Digg. This whole "Apple is out to get the little man!" thing is really a bit ridiculous.

I won't deny that there are some quirks, but are you simply looking at files in coverflow that are being updated? That would explain why things move in coverflow if I understand you correctly.

Mac OS X pre-release developer seeds are only available to those with Developer Seed Access. If its not listed in your assets, then you wouldn't have access. A typical student wouldn't have access to such things, no.
