Leopard Build 9a410 Seeded

AppleMan101 · 01:03 PM

Isn't it about time we saw a new dev seed? we've had complete radio silence from apple ofn leopard for ages now...the clock is still ticking...

tick...tock...

maybe they're perfecting little nitpicks of the OS. you could take the silence as a positive, that Leo is just about ready to release into the wild

zblaxberg · Apr 12, 2007, 10:09 AM

its been really quiet in Cupertino lately.......too quiet...oh look leopard! aw man it was just a new seed...darn!
false alarm everyone go home, nothing to see here, move along

kiang · Apr 12, 2007, 10:46 AM

it's the silence before the release

(which will be at may tenth ofc

)

twoodcc · Apr 12, 2007, 11:35 AM

yeah, the "calm before the storm"

and by storm i mean tons of new stuff from apple, including leopard

projectle · Apr 12, 2007, 11:37 AM

The storm is here.

Insanely Mac is reporting that 9a410 was just seeded on ADC.

Here is the link.

little drops of water which you plant and a few weeks later you come back and there is a copy of 10.5 sitting on the ground.

well, you have to get heaps of these (or similar), plant them in an Apple Store in a few weeks/months time, and you will have a copy of 10.5

*shows off post count per day*

cough

Yeh that seems like a lot of issues for what really should be a pretty late build. They might all be really easy to fix though.

Bad news for eMac users though

yeah, but hopefully the internal builds are much better

Killyp · Apr 12, 2007, 12:55 PM

Why do they keep the best builds internal though? Or is it just that they can't be bothered to seed every build?

xUKHCx · Apr 12, 2007, 12:58 PM

This is my favourite bug

- Deleting a printer from the CUPS admin page at 127.0.0.1:631 will stop all apps from launching

With Leopard it seems they are only seeding what is necessary to devs.Internal builds still have those "secret" features and Apple is not ready to show them.

The list of know problems seems fishy to me. Emacs crashes? Unless the compiler tools are buggy, how is that going to happen? Emacs has been around since the beginning of time.

Maybe it's just me, but I think Apple is seeding builds that allow 3rd party apps to be tested, but have enough bugs that they aren't generally useful. So, when they are leaked for download, the aren't stable enough for everyday use. I guess we'll find out in the next month or two.

That exact thought came to mind when I read about the Mac Office Word/Excel save dialog not showing as it should.Tells me this build is being used by MS ABU with Mac Office..

Interesting thoughts, seems plausible.

According to a thread in the InsanelyMac forum, Apple has seeded Mac OS X Leopard build 9a410. The build continues to present developers with a long list of known issues in areas such as installing, iChat, PhotoBooth, printing, QuickTime, third party applications, and graphics hardware (among more miscellaneous issues).

Apple notes 7 changes since build 9A377a, which was seeded in early March (details).
