Over the weekend, Apple seeded Build 9J34 of Mac OS X 10.5.7 to developers. World of Apple publishes the seed notes, which detail ten changes since the previous seed and continue to list a lack of Safari 4 beta compatibility as the only remaining known issue.
Apple has this weekend seeded a new build (9J34) of the next update to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The build comes with improvements to Mail and the speech dictionary as well as several other fixes adding to the 80+ list of fixes already present.

Developers are being asked to focus on Flash Player, flash and USB drives, MobileMe syncing and many other areas.

Who does need it? The actual Leopard becomes more stable and mature now. I personally wouldn't upgrade to Snow Leopard, until there is an update like 10.6.3 or even bigger version number.

Look at Tiger, how amazing stable it is ...
 
I wonder what the holdup is on Safari 4 compatibility?

As for Flash, meg. I don't use it that much and when I do, it's fast enough for me. Faster & more efficient is always better, I guess.
 
I'm also intrigued to see what these Mail improvements can be. Come 10.5.7, fix our DFU issues!
 
I hope Apple finally found the cause of that "Mail doesn't play new mail sound when there actually is new mail" bug and fixed it. :p

On a more serious note, there's a significant bug in 10.5.6 with Spaces refusing to enable itself in certain circumstances until you restart your Mac. Hope Apple found and fixed this issue.
 
What is up with Mail anyway?

Mail seems to be that one app that just never works exactly right. I've used Thunderbird, Outlook, Netscape Mail before that, mutt on unix, etc. and I love Mail.app out of all of them, but it just seems to always have a few really minor but annoying issues.

One for me deals with IMAP. I have 4-5 IMAP accounts in Mail.app and the subscription functionality is just blatantly not there: you can view the dialog box for subscribing to folders but it doesn't do anything, both from my own experience and checking around on the web. Mail.app also seems to enjoy not updating it's unread count when you right click an IMAP folder and tell it to 'mark all as read'. These are Mail.app issues for sure, as I see them on accounts with a variety of IMAP servers, so I know it's not a server issue, plus Thunderbird has no problem with these IMAP servers.

Snow Leopard though, with its MS Exchange support built-in, probably means they'll be working a lot on their groupware products (iCal, Mail.app, Address Book, etc.) so maybe Mail.app will finally receive the attention it needs.
 
Do you think this release will make Safari snappier?:)
Seriously, I see in the seed notes that Bluetooth is listed as something to test. I wonder what they moght have done to Bluetooth? I have a wireless Mighty Mouse that I can't get to track no matter what I do. So, naturally I'm hoping that this will 'fix' it - at least for me.
Rich :cool:

My biggest problem with Mail and IMAP is when I move messages into folders but they aren't updated on the server... happens regularly and is very annoying!

I guess we won't be seeing Snow Leopard soon then. Looks like the June 8 event is indeed when Apple will release the Snow Leopard.

I won't wait anymore, I'm going down to the Apple Store this week to finally get my 24" iMac.

Yey!

Presumably because they will ship 10.5.7 with Safari 4. Why not? The browser wars are on again and Apple cannot afford to sit on a new Safari version just in hopes the new browser would sell copies of Snow Leopard six months from now.
