Mac OS X 10.5.3 incoming!

Posted under Operating System, Steve Jobs, Leopard, Apple Inc., Updates & Patches

As more builds for the 10.5.3 update for Mac OS X are seeded to developers (the latest is Build 9D34, released today) for final testing, the closer this thing comes to pop up via Software Update. And it seems to be a big one, with over 200 fixes (and some performance tweaks to the kernel - always appreciated) and likely to weigh in between 300mb to half a gig.

About time. Can’t let Psystar be the one to fix Leopard.

The last big update (10.5.2) was released in February. According to developers, this new one will focus on Time Machine and Back To My Mac, and on a great number of built-in features like Spaces, Installer, Mail and a lot of others. Granted, most of them have already been distributed piecemeal via smaller updates on many successive Tuesdays since Feb, but the whole shebang, along with the newest stuff, is coming out in Leopard 10.5.3.

I daresay it might pop-out before or just after Steve’s WWDC keynote early June, and it might have some goodies in it that would tie-in with whatever new stuff he’ll be announcing then. Oooh.
