Mac OS X 10.5.1 seeded to developers

November 7, 2007

With the number of bugs that've already been reported for Leopard -- most of which are fairly inherent in any .0 release, but are no less annoying -- it doesn't take much of a rumor-enthusiast to figure out that Apple is hard at work on a 10.5.1 update. The first fruit of that effort just hit ADC developers today, in the form of build 9B13. The update is pretty broad, and since this is just the first seed of 10.5.1, there's no telling how long it'll take for Apple to get this all tightened up for public consumption. Issues that are being addressed include:

Mail Sync
Spotlight Index
Disk Management
DesktopServices and moving files across partitions
Text Drawing
iCal and CalDAV syncing
Keychain login
Read-Only Issue with SMB
AirPort 802.1X
Application Firewall
To-Do Notes
and Smart Mailboxes.

Granted, that's just a high level overview so it's hard to tell if this will tackle your specific 10.5.0 pet peeve, but there's a mite bit more after the break in other areas of change.

New (non-specific) issues fixed:

Mail Sync
HTML anchors in Mail
PubSub headers in installhdrs
Parental Controls corruption in certain situations
Fix to SpotlightIndex
Disk Management and free space records
iCal and CalDAV syncing
Mail Sync and Smart Mailboxes
Email alarms and iCal
Text drawing corruption and QuickDraw Manager
Disk Management and RAID
Keychain login fix
Custom presets with Page Setup and Print Dialogs
Read-Only issue with SMB
AirPort 802.1X issues
DesktopServices and moving files across partition
Fix to Application Firewall
To-Do Notes and Smart Mailboxes
