Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.5.3 9D34 to Developers
For the past two months, Apple developers have been testing the next version of Mac OS X Leopard. The latest Mac OS X 10.5.3 test version (build 9D34) was seeded just last week and only adds one kernel performance fix and contains no remaining "known" issues. Meanwhile, Apple's seed note list of the over 200 bug fixes since Mac OS X 10.5.2 has been posted by apcmag.
Once complete, the final Mac OS X 10.5.3 update will become available as a free update to existing Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) users via Software Update. No target date is set, but testing has been ongoing for two months and Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) is just around the corner (June 9th).

Yup, I smell a 10.5.3 update around June 9th....
or sooner..........silent updates before major events have been the usual protocol during the past three years.

Agh... I thought I was going to be the first to comment. :mad: Hah hah.. well anyway, yeah. What you said.
To beat many others to the punch: I hope 10.5.3 finally fixes the airport problem with Leopard. I've never actually had a problem with Leopard's wireless, but I know this sentament will be posted by many, many others. :p

Could be later today, often these things are released on Tuesday.
Personally, Leopard has never really felt "finished" to me. I don't know what specific things are triggering this feeling. Maybe it the glass dock which looks like a draft drawing to me, not a final version. Or the "view options" window in Finder which doesn't seem properly thought out.
I don't know - it just feels like a work in progress a lot more than previous versions have. No proud person went over it with the polishing rag.

We discussed this already, when we were waiting for 10.5.2. There is absolutely no historical evidence for such behavior. The likelihood for a release is the same on any workday.

I certainly hope so. Not only does it not make a lot of sense to release something like this when most of your development crew will be otherwise occupied(helping developers at WWDC), many 3rd party devs will be in SF and not around to support the release should any issues arise.
I hope they release it sooner because we are having some major issues connecting a Leopard client to our Tiger Open Directory server and AD/OD issues seem to be at the top of the list of areas they focused on fixing.

When will Office 2008/Expose/Spaces finally be fixed?
Unfortunately, this is a problem on Microsoft's end, and it won't be going away anytime soon. Microsoft has said that, to fix the problem of windows not going into their proper spaces, they would have to re-write a lot of their UI code. That's what they get for using a ton of non-standard programming conventions (e.g. the tabs in notebook view, the way their pages and text are rendered and displayed, etc.).
