Apple Seeds OS X 10.5.7 Build 9J30 to Developers

Friday March 13, 2009 10:49 am PDT by Eric Slivka
In what has become an almost-weekly event, Apple has seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.5.7, known as Build 9J30, to developers. World of Apple publishes the seed notes, which reveal that the lack of Safari 4 beta support is the only remaining issue Apple has chosen to highlight.

One week after the previous seed of Mac OS X 10.5.7 Apple has given developers another build this time in the form of 9J30. The rapid development of Mac OS X 10.5.7 suggests a public release before the end of March.

Developers testing build 9J30 have been asked to focus on new areas such as Flash Player, USB and Flash Drives, iCal and Widgets.

Apple seeded Build 9J22 on February 25th and Build 9J27 on March 7th. The declining list of known issues, brief time intervals between seeds, and decreasing intervals of build numbers between those seeds suggest that Apple is wrapping up development on OS X 10.5.7 and should see a release in the near future.

Having such incremental updates like these (7 (after this releases) for Leopard in a year and a half are so refreshing compared to the few and very infrequent service packs for Windows OSes. I look forward to this release.

Will this unlock the genius features "missing" from iTunes 8.1?

A release on or by 3/17 because developers will need 10.5.7 to test the SDK.

Apple seems to be pushing this one through pretty fast now. We should see it released in a week or two at the most.

Service Packs for Windows come out infrequently because they simply combine hundreds of hotfixes into one installer. There are many incremental Windows updates released every Patch Tuesday, and thus updates work much the same vein as they do on Mac OS X.
