“Apple this week began testing Mac OS X 10.5.6, the next in a running series of updates planned for the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system, which could prove to be the most extensive yet,” Slash Lane reports for AppleInsider.
“The first test build, which reportedly arrive Thursday, is said to contain a sprawling laundry list of system components in need of evaluation. This list, which totals nearly six dozen, names almost every major component,” Lane reports.
“In its bare delta form, Mac OS X 10.5.6 is said to weigh in just shy of 350MB,” Lane reports. “Last week, Apple stepped up its testing efforts behind Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, providing a handful of its partners with a glimpse at new builds featuring a Finder completely re-written in Cocoa, the beginnings of Microsoft Exchange integration, and a new ImageBoot function.”

I wonder if this will fix the odd problem that every mac I’ve used has (Intel anyways)…
It will periodically wake from sleep with the lid closed and then the fans will start full blast… (won’t respond and has to be force powered off)
System Log says something about Bluetooth but it’s 3 different macs all different generations…
But does it add any virtual firewire ports to my mac? That would definitely make it snappier

Be nice if Apple puts some snow effort into stability for me.com. It’s certainly useful, but not exactly reliable, even now.

@Dan:
This is just a guess, something worth checking anyways. Make sure in System Preferences that your computers aren’t set to “Allow other computers to wake this computer from sleep”.
Maybe what you’re seeing is the effect of nearby devices (maybe Bluetooth, maybe network).
I hope it addresses the problem with difficulty screen sharing in iChat since 10.5.5 came out.
but it doesn’t come with firewire or matte my screen. screw you apple!
jk.
these updates always fix problems i never have. is it just me? my macs have always run perfect (no exageration)
@kevin: You have to run those updates manually.. You’ll find them in your utilities folder.
