Apple, which last week asked that developers provide feedback on their experiences using pre-released builds of Mac OS Leopard, has followed up by seeding a significant stability update to the next-generation system software. The latest seed, labeled Mac OS X Leopard 9A500n, arrived via Leopard's Software Update mechanism as a 'recommended' update for all developers running Mac OS X Leopard build 9A499.

So you are saying there isn't an option to turn off the transparent menu at the moment? Hmm, that sucks. I could get used to it but I really don't se why they did it at all Vista has transparency all over the place and it's just annoying sometimes. It's by no mean awful though, just annoying at times. I'm pretty excited about the stacks thing. So much so that I started working on an applet for gnome that works similarly, let's see if I can pull it off.

As a member of the ADC I have been testing 10.5 for some time now. I can't say I have found many bugs, but I agree with all who think the menu bar needs an option so it isn't transparent. It feels really out of place when you have an app pushed right up to the top.
I've had a few apps freeze then quit on me, but its nothing to write home about. The stacks takes a bit of getting used to and I keep thinking that my downloads aren't downloading as you can't by default see them on the desktop. Photobooth's effects didn't all work (in 9a466) plus the bit where you record a video with a live background on sucks performance wise. I have three Mac's I've tested it on, Mac mini 1.42GHz G4, 2.1GHz iMac G5 and a 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.
I can't say its a massive change however, the built in screensharing feature is handy, means I don't have to keep Apple Remote Desktop open, but aside from that meh....
Let's see what happens in October 'eh?
