Apple seeds Mac OS X 10.4.6 8I1116 (intel) and 8I124 (PowerPC) Apple seeded another build of 10.4.6 for both PowerPC and intel, fixing some of the left-over bugs from the previous builds. The increased development speed (last minute bug-fixing) indicates, that Apple wants to release this as soon as possible. 10.4.6 is expected to be the system for the new intel iBook replacements, which will be called simply "MacBook" according to our sources, although some still claim Apple will call it something else, for example the "MacBook mini".
The bug found in the previous build about the PowerBook keyboard backlight is not mentioned as fixed in this build, so it's unclear whether that'll take yet another build or was simply a "freak accident" of some kind. (The bug was confirmed by two sources who had it installed on PowerBooks with keyboard backlights.) So: *If* Apple releases these builds as the final version, I'd be cautious to wait until someone reports "okay" for PowerBooks with the keyboard-light feature. - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 02:28 [article link]
