“The long awaited major bug fix update to Mac OS X Leopard, 10.5.3, will be released very soon. The latest test build, 9D34, has only one new fix and no known bugs,” Danny Gorog reports for APC Magazine.
“According to numerous reports, the next update to Leopard, 10.5.3 could be released very soon. The latest build, 9D34, released late last week has one new fix and no known issues left, according to developers familiar with the release. Apple have been working on the update sine the release of 10.5.2 in February,” Gorog reports.
“With only 2 weeks left to WWDC, and a shrinking number of issues left to address, chances are high that Apple will make the 10.5.3 release available very soon. If the 10.5.2 update is any comparison, expect 10.5.3 to weigh in at over 300MB and be available,” Gorog reports.

i guess that 1.5.2 adds support for a closer intégration with the iPhone
Always impressed with the constant efforts to better themselves ( Apple). Go Apple
i meant 1.5.3

You meant 10.5.3
Well this is weird, I downloaded Delicious Library 2 this morning and upon 1st launch this warning appeared:
“Delicious Library 2 is going to scroll and zoom very slowly because your Mac is running Mac OS X 10.5.2, and we require the critical graphics system updates in Mac OS X 10.5.3.
Please update your Mac to “Leopard” 10.5.3 as soon as you can, and we will automatically switch to full speed.”
So, I would guess this news is real.
MW: analysis
What if Apple was going farther and in fact releasing “OS XI” at WWDC?
Something completely new. That’s a big surprise to the face of computing world!!!
@Mac+,
Jobs said that OSX would be taking them through the next 20 years during the Intel transititon. You can expect 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 before OSXI.
Can’t wait to upgrade my Psystar PoC.

I too ran DL2 and got the warning – fair enough – later that day my screen went absolutely haywire, jagged images of colour all over the screen, menus not working and so on. I restarted, haven’t run DL2 since and have had no problems, it may be a coincidence and may come back but for the time being DL2 has been deleted.
The rapid updating of Leopard has been an effective psy-op against Vista. How would you feel if your buggy Windows OS keeps getting left behind by new and improved Apple updates?
Keep them coming!

So, it’s going to be very soon… right?
Mac+ and MikeK, where were you two a year or so ago? When Tiger went to “10”? This is NOT a DECIMAL system! OS10 (yeah, I know) can go to 10.101.102 (and beyond) if that’s what they want to do with it. The “10” refers to the basic OS, the “101” to a basic version of the basic OS, and the “102” to “fixes” applied to the basic version of the basic OS.
As for going to OSXI (eleven), that would cost Apple considerable value. Right now there are many people well aware of the brand “OSX”, even if they don’t know squat about “Tiger” or “Leopard” and have no clue about the Unix under-pinnings of it. What would be the value of changing that? So they could spend more money re-gaining Brand Recognition for the new name? That might be needed if the brand were “XP” or “Vista”, but OSX carries GOOD vibes!
Dont trust what apple says ! … There are still lots of unresoveld bugs in 10.5.3.
One of them affects the TXN system, which is the basis of many text manipulation program..
I think it’s gonna be released tonight!
Maybe then ProTools will work?
Wishful thinking ericdano!!
ProTools?
That’s still in use? [removed]void(0);
kidding
Jim and M.X.N.T.4.1,
Thanks! Very telling.
FatMac,
Actually the release schedule for Leopard has been considerably slower than prior OS X updates.
I think Steve Jobs will announce a shift away from the cat names to something else at WWDC. Just my guess. Although, as a Leo I would really like to see an OS X Lion.
I’m sticking with 10.5.1 until I know for sure my WiFi will continue to work. I had 10.5.2 and slow choppy wifi connection. Then my harddrive crashed and the Mac Store loaded 10.5.1 and suddenly my WiFi worked like it used to.
10.5.3 – the Psystar issue.
ProTools eh? Logic is pushing them up to higher level and what an awsome level it is http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=20&langid=100
“So, it’s going to be very soon… right?”
I’m guessing very sooner rather than very later.
PT DOES work – in HD!! (7.4.1) I actually have no problems running LE in Leopard (3x MBP’s, 2x G5’s) (10.5.2) – one system I had to pull the ‘Rewire.dpm’ out of the plug-ins folder, but it works easy.
HD vs Logic = Logic LOSING.
MDN word : Greater – as in ‘PT HD is greater than Logic’ (and works in Leopard).
Wonder if 10.5.3 will come standard on newly orderd PsyStar computers?
Ya think?
If the 10.5.2 update is any comparison, expect 10.5.3 to weigh in at over 300MB
300 megs of BUG fixes?!? WTF is this, Windows Vista??
The real reason for 10.5.3 is iPhone 2.0 and Mac Tablet support.
You heard it here first.
