Apple’s Mac OS X 10.4.10 enters ‘widespread testing phase’

“A tenth and presumably final update to Apple’s Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger operating system is reported to have hit the widespread testing phase, placing within its cross-hairs nearly all of the system’s most vital components,” AppleInsider reports.

“The forthcoming update will be the first in recent history from the Cupertino-based Mac maker to reach the ‘dot ten’ sub version, or Mac OS X 10.4.10,” AppleInsider reports.

“People who claim to be familiar with the test releases have noted on various web outlets that builds presently do not contain any outstanding issues. That should come as no surprise, as Apple is no longer adding feature enhancements to Tiger through its incremental maintenance updates,” AppleInsider reports. “Instead, the company is striving solely to stabilize and optimize the system ahead of Leopard, its next-generation OS due out this October.”
