Apple Seeds OS X 10.5.7 Build 9J39 to Developers

Sunday March 29, 2009 9:05 am PDT by Eric Slivka
Apple's pattern of seeding new builds of Mac OS X 10.5.7 to developers each weekend continues, with Build 9J39 making its way out this weekend. World of Apple publishes the seed notes, which reveal only five documented changes since the previous seed.

This build in partcular fixes issues Mail signatures, System Profiler having problems with DisplayPort adapters and several other issues.

As with previous builds the inability to install Safari 4 Beta is the only remaining issue.

Apple has also added Safari to the list of "general focus areas" upon which developers are asked to concentrate their testing.

Only five changes?

I smell Tuesday, but if Safari still doesn't work, it might be the Tuesday after next.:p

Not being able to install the Safari 4 beta seems to be a big show stopper to me.

I think that was a major one for many people.

The Mini-DisplayPort hasn't been a fun trip either.

I'm quite sure Safari 4 compatibility has been tested internally for months now. I doubt that we'll see it released before developers get a build with compatibility though, so I reckon at least another few weeks before general release. :(

I would hazard a guess regarding the non install of Safari 4 is that its a version checker in Safari looking for 10.5.6 and the security update, because it will not install without the later ( in 10.5.6 )

so maybe its not 10.5.7 thats the problem but the version of safari 4 beta that we have

That would be my guess as well. The problem is almost certainly in Safari, not OS X.

10.4.11 still works just fine. :)

Looking forward to 10.6.3.

The title says it all, I'm getting more that a bit frustrated with the networking issues on my early 2008 MBP. Sad but I'm begining to think it is time for a class action suit, as my machine has actually gotten worst with each update. I now have the Mac scanning on what where previously reliable hot spots.

I'm not one to normally get wound up over minor defects in a product as nothing is perfect. This has really degenerated into something that doesn't even work properly Since reports are still wide spread on Apples forms I don't think it is a hardware issue.

Finally, a topic besides the Windows ad campaign. ;)

So the only known issue is Safari 4.0 Beta not playing well with 10.5.7. I'm surprised this is still an issue given Apple's recent promotion of Safari 4.0. It would be nice to see this update on or around Tuesday.

Hopefully, it is Tuesday. Then even more hopefully, my new iMac ships on Wednesday. ;)
