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 :D

*shows off post count per day*

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 :D jk

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

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

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.

Leopard Build 9a410 Seeded



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).
