New Mac OS X 10.4.9 client and Server builds seeded to developers
A little TUAW birdie has informed us that a new series of Mac OS X 10.4.9 client and server builds have been seeded to developers. The build versions are as follows: Mac OS X v10.4.9 (Intel) Build 8P2132, Mac OS X v10.4.9 (PowerPC) Build 8P132, Mac OS X Server v10.4.9 (Universal) Build 8P2132 Manual Updater, Mac OS X Server v10.4.9 (PowerPC) Build 8P132 Manual Updater.While the client build has a significant list of changes (104 to be exact), the Server build reportedly has absolutely zero. This isn't necessarily indicative of an imminent release, but a lack of changes for at least one build could offer some hope. Unfortunately, we don't have a list of what these changes are right now, so we might wind up knowing just as soon as you do.

I Can't Wait till This is released to the General Public. Also, moving into 10.4.9 means we are getting really close to Leopard (10.5.0), which is what I really want to see.. I Am Really Mad when they didn't release any new details on leopard @ Macworld 2007 :(
:) Can't Wait .... :)

Chris, a 10.5.0 doesn't follow from a 10.4.9 release. The numbers are not sequential, they are distinct from each other. Each build number represents its own meaning.
This means Apple could release a 10.4.10, or 11, and so on.
