As things are looking now, it is possible that we'll have to wait almost a year and a half to get this seventh update to Mac OS X Leopard on our Macs as a final release, but until then, we have a new Mac OS X 10.5.7 Beta...
This new beta, labeled Mac OS X 10.5.7 build 9J30, seems to be the third external distribution of the impending software release only available to third-party developers, with no less than two dozen builds that have been evaluated in-house so far.
According to people familiar with Mac OS X 10.5.7 and its status, the new build bundles an updated version of Adobe's Flash Player, as well as five additional bug fixes, bringing the total number to over 80. The parts of the OS recently updated include iChat, the CoreGraphics framework, iCal, and the HFS+ file system.
This is it for now, and since there's plenty of time until Mac OS X 10.5.7 will take off, I am sure we'll hit this subject a few more times in the future, so be sure to subscribe to our news by email if you haven't done that already!
