“Apple seems to be making a fair bit of progress on the upcoming Mac OS X 10.5.6 update,” Justin Berka reports for Ars Technica.
“This week, the company released a new test build of the package to its update testers. This time around, Italian site HMBT is defying Apple’s customary NDA, and has kindly posted the full set of build notes for the 9G35 seed, which includes a lot of fixes, as well as a request for extra MobileMe, AFP, and Mail testing,” Berka reports.
“When the first test build of 10.5.6 was released a few weeks ago, it came with a fairly large list of components that needed testing, and the latest build is no different. The notes ask developers to test 80 components of 10.5.6, a slight increase from the previous build, but the good news is that the current seed contains almost 90 bug fixes, a substantial increase from the 50 or so in the last seed,” Berka reports.

i hope it’s snappy!
Developers…Developers…Developers…
MDN and other sites that support breaking NDAs suck.
Period.
So does anybody remember when the ‘snappier’ comments first originated?
As more and more people casually break their NDAs, the NDA is worth less and less.
I find it astonishing how many people have simply thrown the idea of honesty, honour and justice out the window nowadays.
@Jeremy
What about integrity. I see that also flying out windows now in days.
@Mac-nugget
Accompanied by personal responsibility and open-mindedness.
Hey Doc boy, you missed one “Developers”. remember its 4 Developers not 3
What about treason? NY Times has no problem printing classified info and then crying freedom of press.
Should be hanged.
That used to repeat a joke someone just told and laughing – like they were actually funny and not the unoriginal moron repeating shit that they are?
Yea- that’s who you emulate when you say snappy.
it was funny the first few times years ago..
“What about treason? NY Times has no problem printing classified info and then crying freedom of press.

Based on recent circulation numbers and ad revenue, they are hanging themselves.
“it was funny the first few times years ago..”
Yeah, cut that out and make it snappy!
“Yeah, cut that out and make it snappy!”
exactly, so snap to it.
@ You know that stupid fat kid..
I’ll bet you don’t like Chuck Norris jokes either!
Chuck Norris is snappy.
i won’t comment on your horrible sentence structure, but i must ask one question.
who the hell pissed in your wheaties today?

If you sign an NDA, that’s it, end of story.
To ignore your own signature lacks judgement, responsibility, and most of all, honor.
And that is something that I would have thought an Italian site, above all, would respect.
That’s it!!
Apple will go to war with Italy
You Bastards!!!!!!
I never was much for war but I think it’s time to kill some Dagos!!!!!
I don’t understand why the USA didn’t let the nazis wipe out Italy during WWII. Apple Inc. wouldn’t have this problem of NDA noncompliance.
Sigh
um- sentence structure on the internet is tard3d.
to be frank- to see dipshits- years later saying snappy is lame.
the joke is older than your mom. And I fucked her snappy.
that was the last real snappy ever. just ask your mom.
I hope at least half of those fixes are for Mail.app.
schnappy! it’s like snappy for grown ups.
10.5.6 ? So what, Spotlight will still suck. Try to do a search for files (or anything else) based on size; say for example that you’re looking for files that are beyond 150mb in size. Now look at the result window: the resulting files cannot be sorted based on their size! Hell, there isn’t even a view option for size i.e you have to click the individual files and hit info to get the size!
And this is just one out of many very embarrassing “bugs” found in Spotlight. Yes I know, there is Houdaspot…but why doesn’t Apple just finish their job?
“but why doesn’t Apple just finish their job?”
The job is to provide an OS upgrade which has no new features. It’s finished already.
