A report from Mac|Life today claims that Mac OS X 10.5.7 which first entered developer testing in late February will finally reach the awaiting public this Friday.
Elsewhere Apple has released yet another build of Mac OS X 10.5.7 to its developer community, build 9J60 offers just one listed fix and Safari 4 remains in the list of known issues. It should be noted that many developers have confirmed to World of Apple that Safari 4 works fine in Mac OS X 10.5.7 but there appears to be an issue with the installer.
Seed note for Mac OS X 10.5.7 9J60 below.
Known Issues
- Safari 4 Beta only installs on Mac OS X 10.5.6.

No wine before it’s time? This really points to the fact they really don’t want to do 10.5.8… If you think about it, looking back at the releases: 10.0.4, 10.1.5, 10.2.8, 10.3.9, 10.4.11 — that 3rd number has been steadily creeping upwards and I think they want to reverse that trend. So they want to get 10.5.7 as “right” as possible (and that in itself is very subjective, e.g. Rixstep rants on OS X design issues)… anyway NSURLConnection compatibility fix is a Good Thing™

So much for super-source insider information. I sometimes think when rumor sites speculates on OS X delivery dates, Apple deliberately delays a day or two.
I need this update for my Apple 4870 GPU and this delay is beginning to get more than a little annoying.
