Another weekend, another seed


As its become habit of late, Apple has visited a fresh release of OS X 10.5.3 on developers as the weekend fell. And, for those keeping score at home, [9D22] contains 15 bug fixes, which is fewer than half the number [9D19] addressed (31).

Specifically, AppleInsider reports that OS X 10.5.3 [9D22] arrives with 12 new core system components (17 in 9D19) and addresses Airport, CD / DVD sharing and other problems.

Two of the better known issues addressed in previous seeds include the graphics problems affecting current-gen portables and the New York schools wi-fi problem (AppleInsider).

According to MacNotes.de (Germany), OS X 10.5.3 [9D22] weighs an impressive 530MB and, perhaps most importantly, has no known issues.

Thereupon--a declining number of bug fixes and no known issues to address--barring any last-minute surprises it would seem that OS X 10.5.3 could be ready for release to general public in a couple weeks.
