MacOS 10.5.1 Out Soon, Taking 10.5 GM Out of Beta

from UNEASYsilence by Dan

Its always my policy to wait 48 hours before installing any update, but I always sit on the bench a little longer for OS upgrades.

Seems to think that Apple agrees the Leopard is a little buggy and are working on quickly releasing 10.5.1 to plug some of the gaping holes.

Among the fixes already baked into the first test build are corrections to Leopard’s application Firewall, Spotlight indexing, iCal syncing, Keychain login and text drawing corruption. […] In total, build 9B13 includes well over two dozen fixes and code corrections, those familiar with the software say, and addresses an issue present when moving files across partitions — possibly one and the same with the widely publicized Finder data-loss bug.

If you haven’t installed Leopard yet, I say wait it out until 10.5.1 is out - because the data loss issue is awfully scary.
