Latest 10.5.5 seed shows fewer issues

Apple seems to be getting through builds of Mac OS X v10.5.5 pretty darn quick. Recent reports show that Apple has seeded two versions of the update, 9F25 and 9F29, within the last week. The same report shows that the number of fixes is rapidly decreasing, with only one remaining known bug.

The former of the two builds, 9F25, was rather insignificant, with no fixes and no known bugs. The second of the builds, in contrast, shows fixes having to do with issues with previously joined networks in AirPort, and issues with graphics frameworks. The only current known bug is an issue with searching messages in Mail.app.

In all, previous builds of 10.5.5 have addressed almost 130 issues and bugs. The fix is very large, said to weigh in at 320MB, and deals with issues ranging from Address Book and iCal to screen sharing and core animations. Given the late stage of development, we can probably expect Mac OS X v10.5.5 within the month.
