Mac OS X 10.5.6 Release Imminent... Friday?

[milo]

I bet I don't notice a difference.

So where's Logic 8.0.3? Bugfixes and better stability are DESPERATELY needed.

lol Black and White OS

Pah! System 7 had full color, and Prince of Persia on the Games Demos disc looked awesome.

7.1 > 7.5.5

 

[rhett7660]

Bring it on... I hope it does come out tomorrow. Today would be nice but hey, tomorrow is a few hours away.

 

[twoodcc]

sounds good to me. looking forward to this for sure. hopefully mobileme sycing improves, as well as overall system stability

 

[milo]

I know, I'm trying to think what else they could come up with for the 10.5.6 upgrade, because there isn't much else to do between now and Snow Leopard.

At this point any further .x.x updates are just bugfixes, with the occasional additions of things like compatibility with new file formats.

I'm old enough to remember System 7.5.5, probably one the worst OS headaches there ever was.

My first Mac was a Performa 630CD running System 7.5.0. System 7.5.5 was a welcome improvement over the constant crashes and having to manually hold open titlebar menus!

...Looking forward to the MobileMe improvements too!

Who doesn't?

Areas of Change
- Fixed issue with DVI and display detection

This (fingers crossed).

The reason I reverted to 10.5.4 - because 10.5.5 screwed up quite a few MacBook owner's external displays - as in they didn't work at all anymore.

Who'd have thought a attaching an ACD to my MacBook when it runs 10.5.5 gives nothing but a black screen. 10.5-10.5.4 are fine though, as is XP and Vista, so it was not a hardware issue as I feared.

Looks like they got a lot of things fixed

They spent so long testing this one. Perhaps it is to be the last 10.5 update?

 

[dizastor]

4 finger gestures for old MBPs would be nice.

All PPC Macs get the 1 finger gesture in Snow Leopard.

Nah, I don't see Snow Leopard until March/April - I think we'll go to 10.5.9 at least. 10.5.6 seems like a lot of fixes so 10.5.7 onwards may be smaller and more frequent.

The first time I read this I thought it said "Mac OS X 10.6 Release Imminent" and I was all set with my "YEAH RIGHT" comment. But yeah, nevermind.

Youngster. My first Mac came with System 3.

 

[TwinCities Dan]

lol Black and White OS

Wasn't System 6 the last B/W OS?

 

[Shasterball]

blu-ray support?

I think that will be a Snow Leopard option..

 

[Mercellus]

I see what you did there.

 

[maclancer]

I think so, someone already confirmed that System 7.5 had color

 

[fleshman03]

Key word: Should.

Unless Steve has had an aneurism, it'll be free. This is good news, but 10.5.5 is stable like nobody's business.

lol. That was funny.

You've used it? Any new features? That is, besides seeing the beach ball less. I'm not saying that is bad thing...

LMAO!






I'm looking for some speed enhancements... Let's go safari!

System 6 had color, if your video card supported it.

 

[Tallest Skil]

lol. That was funny.

No, no. 10.5.5 is what we have now. I wish I had developer seeds...

 

[fleshman03]

The first time I read this I thought it said "Mac OS X 10.6 Release Imminent" and I was all set with my "YEAH RIGHT" comment. But yeah, nevermind.

It is imminent. Imminent sometime next year.

lol @ the 1 finger gesture. That's how I feel about not getting the 4 finger gesture.

 

[Stridder44]

Thank you! I thought it was just me having this problem. If anything else, this is also the one and only thing I want fixed.

From the Areas of Changes list:

- Fixed issue with AirPort Drivers and “off” setting

Looks like our hopes might come true.

 

[Papajohn56]

lol Black and White OS

OS 7 was Color.

 

[Surely]

C'mon Copy and Paste!


Oh wait, wrong OS......



10.5.5 has been working very well. I just hope for a little more stability. Safari has been crashing a lot in the past couple of weeks , even on simple, uncomplicated webpages.
