OS X 10.5.7 Build 9J58 Seeded to Developers
Earlier this week, Apple seeded a new version of OS X 10.5.7, termed Build 9J58, to developers. World of Apple publishes the seed notes, which list only a pair of changes related to compatibility fixes between the CFNetwork framework and VPN, iChat, and Safari. Apple has also added iChat to the list of focus areas upon which developers are being asked to concentrate their testing.
As with numerous previous developer builds, the inability to install Safari 4 Beta remains the only documented issue. Development on OS X 10.5.7 has been presumed to be wrapping up for several weeks now, but Apple appears to still be finding a few bugs that require their continued attention. The last developer release, Build 9J56, was seeded in the middle of last week.

Looking forward to this! ;)
There's always just a "few" more bugs, right? :)

I don't seem to recall ever seeing so many seeds issued to developers being reported on, is this normal or is 5.7 getting extra attention above and beyond what a normal intermediate release/ OS update would get?

From what I hear, Safari 4 Beta works fine on 10.5.7 but the installer is programmed to accept only 10.5.6 - nothing higher or lower. So the lack of compatibility is a Safari installer bug, not a bug with 10.5.7.
I'm thinking that they are nearing the end of the Safari testing process and are waiting until it is complete so they can bundle it with 10.5.7. That seems the most probable reason for the delay.

apple are taking there time with 10.5.7 :confused:
At this point I'm assuming that's because it's going to be the last Leo version ever, and also the last version that's not going to be Intel-only. After that, it's gonna be SnowLeo and Intel only.
