Only a week in between the latest 10.5.7 seeds, developers receiving Build 9J39 are asked to focus their testing efforts on almost two dozen areas of Leopard, including AirPort, Bluetooth, FileSync, Flash Player, iCal, Safari, Time Machine USB & Flash Devices, X11 and more. Adding five changes of its own, Build 9J39 is the third Mac OS X 10.5.7 beta release that lists only one known issue – incompatibility with the Safari 4 public beta.
