Apple has also released Security Update 2009-003 for users on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

A developer build (9L30) of OS X 10.5.8 seeded last week carried only a single increment in build number from the previous seed and listed no outstanding issues, suggesting that work on OS X 10.5.8 was rapidly nearing completion.

Snow Leopard is now closer than ever before!
