New Mac OS X 10.5.2 Seed (9C20), Due Friday?

[MacRumors]

Less than a week after the last release (9C16), Apple has seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.5.2 to developers today. The latest seed (9C20) lists no known issues. They've also separated the graphics drivers out into a separate update called Leopard Graphics Update, which must be installed after Mac OS X 10.5.2. The latest seeds are only available to registered Apple developers.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that Apple is shooting for a public release this Friday. The new 10.5.2 update contains numerous bug fixes, as well as a few requested features which have been previously detailed. Some of these include:

- DVD/CD Sharing
- Optional translucent menu bar
- List view in Stacks

Start the countdown till the translucent menu bar goes away all together, or is replaced with a hideable version.

We're all waiting for this update. I think I'll get my retail disc once they stamp the 10.5.2 or later ones.

 

[Sky Blue]

I have about a dozen iMacs i'm not rolling out until this is out.

 

[EagerDragon]

The sooner the better

This is gonna be cool, can't wait for 10.5.2 (even though I have no issues at all with my mac, which is an upgrade installation.) (knocks on wood)

Should make for a nice weekend...

I like the translucent menu bar - so Im excited those that do not will be able to stop whining about it

 

[Tsurisuto]

I never understood why people dislike the translucent menu bar so much. I for one will be keeping mine the way it is. (But each to their own).

On a further note, Apple can you please hurry up and release 10.5.2 so Delicious Monster can finally release Delicious Library 2!

I'm pretty new with macs, but I'm assuming this is a free update? I was going to order a macbook right now but should this make me wait?

 

[MrT8064]

is AirPort going to be fixed with this update?

 

[cvahl]

I'm praying for an iTunes update. 7.6 was the worst update I can remember, iTunes is almost useless since last week

 

[Techguy172]

I have been waiting for this for soo.... long Please be released on friday that would make my day for sure.

 

[Sannekita]

Very nice. (if it's true), now i'd like a new MBP to go with it

Can I ask why?

 

[cgray24]

I wonder if the cd/dvd sharing will eventually lead to dvd sharing with AppleTV. That way I can get rid of my DVD player

Yes, all updates to Leopard (for current and future Leopard users) will be free.

That's an excellent idea!

No need to wait - the update is free - as are all point releases of OSX (i.e. you buy 10.5.0 and 10.5.X is free - X being the point).

 

[Prof.]

Has anyone had any trouble with applications randomly quitting or hanging up? Hopefully this will be fixed with the new update. *crosses fingers*

Yes it is free. You only pay for the 10.x releases not the 10.5.x ones.

 

[bommai]

This probably OT, but I just realized something. All of Apple's devices are Leopard based except for Apple TV. It is Tiger based. Does the Apple TV Take 2 use Leopard or is it still Tiger based? I wonder when the software update for that is coming out.

 

[quigleybc]

Here's what I predict


This new update comes out. I install it. and........


NOTICE NOTHING DIFFERENT AT ALL.

You know, kind of like almost every OS X update from Tiger on....

of course there are differences, but they are so tiny and add up to "no big deal"

I also predict that I will run home, and install it and be excited about if for all of two minutes.

SWEET!

and Safari will NOT BE SNAPPIER>>>>>!!!

 

[ScifiterX]

I already wish it was Friday.

HEY! Thats a great idea!!!! I think you are on to something!

I wonder if Blu-ray dvds could stream over wireless to Apple TV.

Only reason I can see them not doing this is DRM worries by studios and apples desire to push the itunes downloads.

Does the macbook air let you watch DVDs through this feature?
