Mac OS X 10.5.6 targeted for Friday?

There has been a lot of speculation in the Mac community recently that Mac OS X 10.5.6 would be released in the next few weeks. Apple has recently been releasing quite a few builds of Mac OS X 10.5.6 to developers, with the most recent, build 9G38, being released last week.

The latest build appears to address some minor issues, and it has been reported that there are no known issues with the build.

This build is said to come just three days after build 9G35. The release notes say this one focuses on MobileMe, Mail and AFP. The build also fixes a number of MobileMe related issues.

The last official update, 10.5.5 was released on September 15. The builds stopped arriving roughly a week before the update, which points to Friday as a potential release date.
