Apple Seeds Another New OS X 10.5.7 Build

Just a little more than a week after seeding OS X 10.5.7 Build 9J22 to developers, Apple has distributed a new version, Build 9J27, for testing. World of Apple reports on the release and republishes the seed notes, which reveal ten changes since the last release and ask developers to focus their testing efforts on over twenty wide-ranging focus areas.

Changes since the last developer seed include fixes for several issues with preference panes, MobileMe and iCal syncing, partitioning, and Time Capsule and FileVault backups.

This will be out before Monday, because the Mac Pros need the firmware inside 10.5.7 for the 4870 card.

The only complaint I have is trying to use Apple's X11 for running GIMP and the occasional browser plug-in system hard lock.

So you're saying that my Mac Pro won't boot when I get it, or that it will have an incomplete, developer build of an operating system when I get it?

That's a good point. Do you have any reason to believe your Mac Pro will ship before Monday?

I have a feeling they meant driver instead of firmware.

And I'm saying, since there are already display Mac Pros in Apple Stores, what's stopping the Mac Pros from having a special build of 10.5.6 like the MacBook Air did with 10.5.1?

Quite true, the website does make it seem like you need 10.5.7 for the 4870 but then again that's the retail model since 10.5.6 retail doesn't have those drivers.

Well the quicker the pace picks up of releasing seeds the sooner it seems to come out, so we might be seeing this fairly soon.
