MacosXrumors.com is reporting that only a week after build 8A369 was released, another build of Tiger has reached a limited number of developers. The site reports multiple fixed bugs in the release, but also sheds light on the existance of a dozen or so remaining issues that have yet to be resolved.
Fixed since last build: - Plain text messages being sent as rich text, which causes messages sent from Tiger Mail to show up as attachments in other mail clients. - Dock dragging problems. - Dual 2 GHz and Dual 2.5 GHz G5s with SuperDrive install problems. - Finder crashes when previewing Sorenson 3 video or PNG files. - Volume corruption issues with upgrade and archive installs over 10.2.x (Jaguar). - Setup Assistant hangs after playing the movie withupgrade installs over 10.3.x. - Spotlight infinitely indexing after editing data in your Address Book. - Carbon and Cocoa app window corruption problems after inactivity. - Problems disabling .Mac Syncing.
Still need to be fixed: - .Mac syncing of Address Book can lead to loss of contact URLs in the Address Book.Disable Address Book syncingin the .Mac>Sync preference pane for now. - iDVD 5.x and iMovie 5.x fail to see iPhoto 5.x photos in a users iPhoto library. - Some full-screen QuickTime trailers dont display video. - There are still occasional reports of blue or grey screens after installation or at login. Workaround: reboot. - iDisk syncing may hang upon occasion. - The .Mac Sync pref pane and the Sync menu extra are slow and dont always agree on when syncing is happening. - Keychain syncing may corrupt your keychain.Other data types should work (with the exception of contacts). Disable keychain syncing in the .Mac>Sync preference pane for now. - Very rarely, login, security dialog or remote access authentication may be refused. Workaround: reboot. - Text input other than English is not recognized in authorization dialogs. - Xcode crashes when building Carbon bundles and frameworks. - AppleScript applications that reference bundles need to use the bundle extension (e.g. .app)when referring to them. - Text paths to aliases (e.g. ~/Desktop/) in AppleScript are incorrect.
The site also focuses on a new option for cursor size in the Universal Access prefs pane, as well as developers being unhappy with Spotlight indexing speed.
