14 DAY TRIAL // Not long after it was reported that OS X 10.5.7 would land on Friday, this week, Apple seeded yet another beta build of the software to members of its developer connection. Specifically, build 9J60 lists the same issue regarding the Safari 4 Beta, while adding a single fix on its own.
Earlier today, Softpedia reported that Apple was expected to release the seventh incremental update to Leopard later this week. Mac|Life cites “a super-secret Apple source” as saying the release will occur on Friday. The final build is said to arrive with fixes for networking, syncing and Bluetooth issues.
World of Apple now reveals that Apple has just released the build in question, adding a note on its own, saying that, “Many developers have confirmed [...] that Safari 4 works fine in Mac OS X 10.5.7, but there appears to be an issue with the installer.” Courtesy of the same Apple-focused site, we can also present you with the seed notes for Mac OS X 10.5.7 Build 9J60.
