AppleInsider writes that Apple has already begun seeding OS X 10.5.2 Leopard to developers.

10.5.2 is described as one of the most ‘hefty’ maintenance updates Apple has released in some years, already weighing in at 354MB for build 9C7.

The build deals with a raft of issues and apps, including the Dock, the Finder, grammar checking, iCal, iChat, Mail, Parental Controls, Quick Look, Rosetta, Safari, Time Machine, and Leopard’s 802.11 AirPort implementation.

The release will likely be not before middle to late January, as there are new products to be announced at Macworld SF.

Insanely Great Mac ponders whether this is just Apple’s way of implicitly acknowledging there were some flaws with the original Leopard release? The stories that 10.5 was released to hit a product deadline, not a quality control benchmark, are beginning to make sense.

PRESS RELEASE: Apple and Think Secret have settled their lawsuit, reaching an agreement that results in a positive solution for both sides. As part of the confidential settlement, no sources were revealed and Think Secret will no longer be published. Nick Ciarelli, Think Secret’s publisher, said “I’m pleased to have reached this amicable settlement, and will now be able to move forward with my college studies and broader journalistic pursuits.

It is well known that Nick Ciarelli (aka Nick DePlume), a loyal supporter of Apple, wanted to pursue his continued education.
