We'll probably see a new build of Leopard on ADC this week.

1. Its almost a month since WWDC
2. Its the second week of the month (might be released on a Thursday.)
3. According to MacScoops Leopard schedule, a new build is supposed to be released early July. I guess "early" means the first or second week.

Does anyone here have an ADC account? Or will we just wait for someone to leak it out.

That's if we happen to see a new build.


And if we get a new build, will some of the updates come through Software Update for those of us not too interested in re-installing 10.5?

It will be via the software update hopefully, if you have the the current build. Should be nothing but software updates until the final release build is pushed out. I anticipate 2-3 minor updates until the rtm build.

I think there have been 3 updates so far;
Safari, iTunes, and a Battery update.

I keep checking all the time, but haven't gotten any others.

We will see another Leo seed sometime this month. Not sure if it will be this week though...

The update will be another full DVD image, not just a software update.

so there will also be a software update?

Just guessing, there might be a software update, but I imagine we'll just have to get our hands on the next DVD image.

Just wondering, will there be an upgrade option on the DVD though? 'Cuase it'd be really nice to upgrade this instead of having to completely re-install.

As Colonel said, it's going to be a full DVD if it's a new build. They never released the "old" new builds through software update.

There was an update feature on the WWDC build so I don't see why they would cut it in the next one. I used it and it worked almost flawlessly. (Upgraded from Tiger)

Awesome. Hopefully the installer works a little better...It didn't like me when I installed this build.

And also: build 9a474 has been spotted on the launchd trac site on June 29th and its been about 2 weeks since then so we know they are working on it.

they have previously updated WWDC builds through software update (10.2 and 10.3) and there is no reason why software update can't update an existing dev build to a newer build.

hopefully it'll be a software update rather than a DVD image. hate to waste another dual-layer disc.

I have an ADC select account... I will watch for any new DVD builds as well as any emails from the ADC team at Apple and forward any such emails to this thread....Here are the latest items for ADC members:

• Apple Remote Desktop v3.2 Build 8D109 - Posted: 09 Jul 2007
• Mac OS X Leopard Client Build 9A466 - Posted: 02 Jul 2007
• Mac OS X Leopard Server Build 9A466 - Posted: 02 Jul 2007
• Kernel Debug Kit Leopard Build 9A466 - Posted: 02 Jul 2007

I will update you with any new releases ...

We probably won't see a build this month. I guess 9a466 is July's build too.

~Matt

I guess you're right, since 9a466 has been recently uploaded to ADC. So we wait for next month. darn

Curious, does this version of Remote Desktop work with Leopard ?

Dude, you rock our collected socks off.

How exactly do the seed these builds out?

que que???

I think he means how they seed. These files are available for ADC Select members on the Apple Developers site.

Leopard 9A491 tagged in the launchd changesets at macosforge

That's exciting that they're almost at the 500 marker. This means they've had 25 or so builds since WWDC, so that's good news.

Of course they're working their asses off on OS 10.5; it's what makes the apple user experience so seamless among all of their products, and that includes their latest baby: the iPhone (of which I love mine^^!)

I know some people don't like the UI changes that much, but I'm sure that hacking them will be fun; I know I like the menubar a lot, I actually have it enabled right now with the Liger theme in 10.4; but I'm not so much a fan of the new dock, I like my cleardock-enhanced dock right now.

We might see a build next week. It looks like there are quite a bit of bugs in 9a491
