Surely you mean 10.5.8 ;) Thanks for the news :)

Ah yes of course. My mistake.

Good. 10.5.7 has it's share of issues.

But I won't use it for long. 10.6 was blazing on my Mac and still is. I can't wait to use it full time.

Sorry to sound like a complete noob, but does this mean there's another update? ;)

I had several issues logging into my college's network via 802.1X. I hope this update fixes it.

I wonder if this update fixes the SATA issue on the new uMBPs

It means that there is going to be another update. ;)
Usually a month or two/three after the first seeds are available at the developer's site.

You know, I wonder if there'll be a Mac OS X 10.5.8 Retail DVD so that the GTX 285 owners, can easily erase and install Leopard after that grfx card is installed.
10.5.6 Retail DVD is part of the "Mac Box Set".

Must admit: probably not, though.

I was wondering when they'd get around to this. Anyone would have know that there would be at least one more 10.5 update.

Nice to seem them fix some bugs in the old OS X before SL (especially since I have only one machine that can run SL - out of 6+ Macs). :cool:

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Leopard will get more updates, even after 10.6 has shipped, especially now we are sure that PPC users are left out of Snow Leopard.
So, if some new *must have* technologies are introduced this year (maybe iPhone related stuff, etc.), I do hope Apple keep the Quad G5 owners happy by giving those technologies on Leopard too, not just Snow Leopard.
Of course the occasional bug fix and security issue will be resolved too in Leopard, but usually those updates don't account for a real 10.5.X update.
We'll see.
