Earlier this month, IGM repeated a rumor that posited that OS X 10.5.3 would arrive soon. However, that's obviously not going to happen as the first of likely many pre-release developer seeds has just been rolled out by Apple.

AppleInsider reports that OS X 10.5.3 Build 9D10 has been seeded widely to developers and testers.

Generically, 9D10 includes 75 bug fixes and code corrections, but specifically is said to deliver the following updated components: AddressBook, AppleScript, Audio, Back To My Mac, Dashboard, the Dock, DVD Player, Finder, Graphics, iCal, Mail, Portable Home Directories, Printing, Rosetta, Spaces, Spotlight, Time Machine and VoiceOver.

Refurbished iPod touch—8GB for $229, 16GB for $299, 32GB for $399
With FREE shipping while supplies last!

Of particular note is the correction of two critical memory leaks within CoreAnimation and iCal.

AppleInsider says that OS X 10.5.3 will be released sometime in April or May.

Editor's note: I've got no major beefs with OS X 10.5.2, which corrected a number of longstanding issues (ie slow graphics, browser slowdowns, etc). What do you want fixed and / or improved in the Apple's third Leopard update?

my sync conflicts never get resolved, it will never stop asking me to review the same conflict. and conflict resolver wont even open. this needs work. mac sync Posted by out of sync on 03/28/08 1:52 PM One other bug they need to fix is with Apple's Empower airplane adapter. I flew out to San Francisco yesterday and my computer cut out and died after about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. I had power and even a light and menu to verify it was connected, but the MacBook just ceased operating and would not reboot until I connected to a true power source using the regular power adapter. I used to adapter (before the 10.5.2 update) while flying to Hawaii 2 months ago and it worked flawlessly, but not this time and not on the latest upgrade! Another Bug? Posted by Rick on 03/28/08 2:06 PM After the latest 0-day hacking of the Mac I would hope Apple does something proactive to stop the trend before it becomes a probelm. Why not offer $10 000 to anyone that can show a proven exploit. That would be well spent money for Apple, and a great incentive for hackers and pros to be helpful while making money (or compensation for time spent digging). Prize money? Posted by Guest Poster #3 on 03/28/08 2:39 PM My wireless connection keeps cutting out. That never happened in Tiger. If I hadn't heard that 10.5.3 is supposed to fix that problem I'd be tempted to go back to Tiger. (Yes, I've tried all manner of fixes.) wireless connection Posted by Guest Poster #4 on 05/11/08 4:47 PM
