According to sources, Apple earlier today declared build 8A428 of Tiger gold master.

Sources expect Apple to announce the completion of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger as early as tomorrow, April 1st.

Tiger is expected to hit retail stores in the second half of April.
 
I would really like to hear some developer's views.
Is this the build that someone recently said was close but not quite?

No I think this was 8A425. This is 28.

Well, that's alright then. :D

If it's all true, I am happy to see my scepticism about an April release completely scuppered. Sometimes it's nice to be wrong... but I can't get over the April Fools thing, somehow.
 
AppleInsider reports that Apple declared Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger build 8A428 as the Gold Master (shipping version) today and that Apple may announce completion of Tiger as early as tomorrow.

Mac OS X 10.4 has been rumored to be announced on April 1.

8A420 only had one known issue - it wouldn't boot on 1.33 GHz iBooks with SuperDrives. 8A425 fixed that, then they must've found one other problem before 8A428.
 
I'm so excited... new comp with a new OS... slaving away at Dairy Queen and having my comp repaired 5 times was worth it. :cool:

Yeah, but to those in Cupertino 10 4 is the 4th of October.

In other news... yay! Looking forward to it, lots.
 
it seems tiger's release is the stepping stone for new iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, Power Macs, and Pro Apps...bring it!

:D

interested to see what the final core image hardware requirements will be
 
It still seems sketchy to think that they could have CDs/DVDs burnt, printed, packaged, and shipped by April 15th. That only gives them 2 weeks to get all that done.

Apple likes to unveil new OSes with lots of fanfare and promos. I don't think they'd release it without it being available.

...or have they sped up their production process now?

P.S. Any word on Server?
