Panther 7B39 has been released to developers.

The Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse control panel had been inactive but present in previous English versions of Panther. While many speculate on Apple's launch of such a product, it could simply provide support for 3rd party Bluietooth devices, such as the new Belkin Bluetooth mouse mentioned last week on MacBytes.com.

MacNews.net.tc provides a list of changed components.
