Mac OS X 10.5.2 - Just Around The Corner…Or Not?

news Add comments



Unfortunately, it seems I was right to say I wouldn't bet my life on seeing Leopard updated last month, because it's February already and the patch didn't arrive yet. Anyway, there's no need to worry, because Apple is working hard on it, and today I just found out about a new proof of this fact - earlier this week, the developer community got another pre-release of the upcoming update from the Cupertino-based company...

Just like the one that came before it, Mac OS X 10.5.2 build 9C27, the current build of the soon-to-be-released update, seems to be free of known issues. Since there were no bugs to fix, all that can be said about this last build is that 9C27 managed to add a few more improvements to the list that already exceeds the 130 new features/improvements mark.

According to those familiar with the latest Mac OS X builds for the developer community, the list of improvements now included various fixes to Leopard's Finder sidebar, new desktop backgrounds, support for the new Time Capsule backup appliance, iChat Bluetooth functionality, as well as disk space management and improvements to the Time Machine software.

Leaving the above aside, Apple's efforts seem to concentrate their attention of system core components, such as Bluetooth, Audio Input, the Finder, Spotlight and the graphics drivers, these being the items they asked developers to focus their testing efforts on.

I know there's one big question remaining, but I don't have a straight answer to that. Last news I heard place the release to the public of this update during this month, so let's keep our fingers crossed...

    I believe that the AppleTV update is tied to 10.5.2. Also, I think that there are components in 10.5.2 that are needed to use TimeCapsule. So, with AppleTV delayed a couple of weeks, and TimeCapsule not shipping yet, I think it is safe to say that when the AppleTV update is released in a couple of weeks, it will be alongside 10.5.2 and the shipping of TimeCapsule.
