Currently being built, and so far it is between 370-375MB and still growing.

It's supposed to fix loads of bugs, including the dodgy stacks and time machine problems. There's a huge list of stuff.

Glad their sorting it out. Rumors say it's going to be released during the Macworld Expo on the 15th January.

Links: Source 1, Source 2.

Enjoy :)
 
The only bug I have been affected by is one in Time Machine. If you go into TM and delete all backups of a file upon returning to OS X any keyboard shortcuts for Expose (F9 etc.) have been disabled and need to be reset. Other than that no problems really although Stacks does need updating to make it more useful.
 
I'm glad they've sorted the keyboard freezing issues - that was beyond annoying.

I'm waiting on the fixes for time machine - the principle reason for upgrading and I can't use it with confidence.. not a good thing.
 
I concur with the others, 10.5.1 (and 10.5) have been absolutely excellent with no issues whatsoever apart from the odd third party app that wasn't updated in time, a problem largely resolved now.

There have been an unusually high amount of reported problems since the transition to Intel, I know it is just a processor architecture but there just didn't seem to be the need for all these updates in the olden days of PPC. That said, there is no doubt the performance of Macs these days is quite stunning so the odd update is nothing to get excited about. :)
 
Good, more updates. If they're fixing stuff its great news.

So far, for me, 10.5.1 has been less stable than 10.4.11. But that is an obvious statement to make. I've had the spinning ball and crashes with Safari 3 that never happened on Tiger (and no, no dodgy sites or plugins). DVD player has crashed a few times on me.

I don't add any 3rd party extensions to the operating system, mine is pretty much "vanilla" as you can get. What I would say though is I upgraded from a Tiger install.
 
I have to say apart from the CS3 fonts loading like butter (on a first use) I haven't had any issues that were directly caused by Leopard.

Nothing to moan about, but if they want to fix or optimise something then it's all gooood :D
 
Expect iTunes 7.6 out around the sametime as MacWorld, when hopefully, this update ships too.

Someone on MacRumors bought a Family Guy DVD which had a built-in download code for a DRM'd iPod-ready digital download, and it requested iTunes 7.6 or higher to proceed :)
 
Yeah, that'd be nice..

My bet (what's basically known), is that we'll see;

# iTunes 7.6.. adds video rental and HD shows
# Leopard 10.5.2 update.. various bug fixes
# iPhone firmware 1.1.3.. adds multiple SMS, MMS, Locate functionality in maps (and more)
# Nice product revisions for AppleTV and possibly Mac Mini (if they aren't killed off)
