Apple Seeds OS X 10.5.7 Build 9J50 to Developers, Public Release Imminent?

Just four days after the last developer seed, Apple has released yet another version of OS X 10.5.7 to developers. The new seed, designated Build 9J50, contains only a single documented fix related to Bluetooth networking. World of Apple republishes the seed notes, revealing the extensive list of changes made throughout the series of developer seeds and noting that the inability to install Safari 4 Beta remains the only documented known issue.

The increased pace of developer releases and the small number of changes in each iteration suggest that work on OS X 10.5.7 is wrapping up and that a public release should be expected in the near future.

Nah, I bet it's this week. Anyway I'm glad to see Apple is focusing on fixing sync issues.

What's the deal with not supporting Safari 4? Will a new build of Safari be needed before the update, or be included in it?

My guess is the Safari 4 remains in Beta while 10.5.7 gets pushed out.

I would have thought it would be released w/ Snow Leopard. It's a bit intensive and some of the new technology in that release might help performance.

Also, I guess 10.5.7 is released on Tuesday.

Safari 4 Beta killed me on 10.5.6. What a pain that was... I hope they release full version soon. :confused:

Woah! Talk about... Ahead of schedule.

Let's hope the developers are working hard... I HATE bugs.

10.5.1 = Thursday release
10.5.2 = Monday release
10.5.3 = Wednesday release
10.5.4 = Monday release
10.5.5 = Monday release
10.5.6 = Monday release

My guess is that it will be available on Monday.

I hope the video drivers in this release will allow use of the 4870 on older Mac Pros (even if not officially supported). I've read some things that indicate that may be possible.

How do you figure it's ahead of schedule? We've been expecting this for a while now based on how quickly new builds were being seeded. Or were you thinking of 10.6?
