Apple Prepping OS X 10.5.7 Update
Apple yesterday seeded Mac OS X 10.5.7, the next maintenance release for Leopard, to developers. Apple is requesting that developers focus their testing on over twenty areas of the new seed, which is termed Build 9J22.
Developers familiar with the new build report that Apple has made nearly 70 changes in the update, with many of them focused on syncing and networking improvements. A number of preferences and widgets have seen tweaks to address performance issues, and Apple has also addressed several issues related to RAW image handling. Also of note, Apple has addressed an issue with Safari not accepting certain types of cookies.
Apple has also informed developers that the new Safari 4 public beta will not install on the current 10.5.7 build. The last update to Leopard, OS X 10.5.6, was released in December.

Apple has also informed developers that the new Safari 4 public beta will not install on the current 10.5.7 build.
...Why?:confused:
(Not that I care about Safari or Leopard for that matter, but still, seems odd.)

I really hope this fixes the graphic issues with the MBPro's. The random subtly screen flicker is a thrashing.

This must be the last one before 10.6 (fingers crossed)!
Why? That makes no sense.

I wouldn't make that assumption - we still haven't even received a release date for Snow Leopard, so I could see a couple more updates to 10.5 after this one...

That does seem odd that the new browser beta wont run on the new build of OS X?:confused:

That's odd.
Wonder how long before that is remedied?
Can see this delaying current Safari 4 users from upgrading their OSes - kind of defeating the point.
Again, odd. :confused:

Yeah, that's interesting. Maybe the final version will be released around the time 10.5.7 gets released...? Might be a short beta!
