AppleInsider is reporting that the development of the next Mac OS X update (Mac OS X 10.4.4) is winding down. Tipsters say the latest developer builds of the software are accompanied by only a few outstanding issues. According to sources and reports already present on the Web, Mac OS X 10.4.4 stands to deliver over 120 bug fixes to the Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” operating system. Targeted areas are said to include audio, AppleScript, Bluetooth, Dashboard widgets, DVD Player, graphics, graphics drivers, iChat, Safari, and Spotlight.
If Apple’s update schedule in recent years is any indication, Mac OS X 10.4.4 should see a release just prior to the Apple’s holiday break which occurs near the last week of December. The most recent developer release of Mac OS X 10.4.4 is rumored to be build 8G22.
