OS X 10.5.8 Build 9L16 Seeded to Developers

Friday June 19, 2009 12:24 pm PDT by Eric Slivka
Apple has seeded another new version of OS X 10.5.8 to developers, signaling continued development on what may be the final update to Leopard before OS X Snow Leopard ships in September. According to the seed notes published by World of Apple, the new version, Build 9L16, adds ten new documented fixes over the previous seed issued late last week. Changes include fixes for bugs in Bluetooth device operation and USB webcam streaming, as well as addressing freezing of the AirPort (Advanced) portion of the Network System Preferences pane.

The seed notes also list 18 focus areas upon which developers are asked to concentrate their testing efforts. One outstanding known issue, a System Preferences bug that appears on Early 2009 Mac Pros with attached USB audio devices, is also documented.

I really hope this is pushed out fast, because the documented bluetooth bug where your moose becomes unresponsive is really annoying. especially if you use your laptop in "clamshell" mode and you have to lift the lid to use the trackpad to disable bluetooth, then re-enable it to get the device working again...

Something that effects the moose, a vital system input device, i wish they would just release a separate fix for..

Wonder where Apple finds the time with all this iPhone stuff going on. ;)

Arn, you know you're going to get static for putting this on Page 2 instead of Page 1.

Let the release date speculation begin!

I just hope it doesn't take five months like 10.5.7.

If it does, a good many of us will be moved onto Snow Leopard by then

Agreed. 10.5.7 took too long to deliver.

I'm still hesitant about upgrading to 10.6.0 on release, might just wait to see how members here go with it first. ;)
