Mac OS X 10.5.6 Development Wrapping Up?
According to the most recent seed notes at HMBT.org, Apple may be trying to wrap up development of Mac OS X 10.5.6.
The latest Mac OS X 10.5.6 seed (9G38) provided to developers today lists no remaining issues. It's always difficult to predict when Apple plans on delivering the final version to end users, but having no known issues is usually considered a sign of pending release. The previous seed was published just earlier this week.
Again, Apple appears to be focusing on MobileMe sync testing for portable computers. In addition 98 other bug fixes are detailed within the published seed notes. Apple released the last update to Mac OS X 10.5 in September.

Well, this seems like good (if perhaps a bit mundane) news.
It's Saturday, what do you expect?
Either way, I hope it fixes some of the graphics problems I am having with my MacBook, though I suspect that will come as a separate update down the line.

Leopard point releases have included many developer builds being released with "no known issues" listed.

I don't think there's ever been a OS X update that doesn't include syncing (.mac and now MobileMe) as an area of change.

Will there be any important improvements included for a white MacBook?
I'm new to Mac OS, so I don't know what to expect from such an update.

I just finished rebooting too. It'll be fun to see what the delta update package contains.

I bet they change the light bulb in system preferences to be fluorescent. That should make my battery life increase, right?

I won't hold my breath for fixing the performance with the wallpaper switcher.

had my hopes high for a MWSF 09 release for a moment there.
