Apple Seeds OS X 10.5.7 Build 9J56 to Developers

Apple has yet again seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.5.7, this one termed Build 9J56, to developers for testing. World of Apple publishes the seed notes, which detail five changes since the previous build issued last week.

Despite many expecting that the previous build of Mac OS X 10.5.7 would be the one to see a public release Apple today has released a new build labelled 9J56.

The latest build adds another five fixes to the huge list including issues with AFP volumes, Bluetooth stability and crash reporting and logging.

As in the previous six developer seeds, a lack of Safari 4 Beta compatibility is the only remaining issue documented by Apple.

This is like a significant other that can't commit.

Does anyone know if 10.5.7 fixes the incompatibility experienced while trying to use bluetooth to iPhone 3.0 for internet tethering on the latest (Unibody) Macbooks?

I really hope this is a good fix and nice and stable. It might have to tide me over until 10.6 becomes stable and dependable.

Might be a good few months before I do anything to my OS after this latest update.

6 seeds, 1 issue. Wow! It must be a tough nut to crack.

"Bluetooth stability"....

From the seed notes: Areas of Change
•Bluetooth compatibility and stability fixes


I hope that means what I think it means, in that it fixes the non-tracking and intermittent signal dropping Mighty Mouse/Keyboard issue. Got my fingers crossed.

Rich :cool:
