10.4.6 development started Apple has seeded first builds for Mac OS X 10.4.6 to developers. 8I109 for PowerPC and 8I1102 for intel. According to our sources, this update will be mostly about .Mac synching, AFP, AppleScript/Automator, BT, Cocoa, Carbon, Core Graphics, CD/DVD burning, harddisk management, printing, Safari (hopefully also the security issues), Rosetta (for intel builds) and graphics drivers. There are still a couple of known issues with these builds. Targetted release date is "end of March" for now, although this might or might not change in the future.
The combo updater seeds vary in size: 131 MB for the PPC, 166 MB for the intel build. We'll keep you posted about the development. - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 17:53 [article link]
