After months of rigorous testing, Apple has finally released 10.4.9. The update weighs in at a hefty 160MB for Intel users and fixes numerous bugs in Tiger. Looking through the release notes, I see no mention of the sleep fix I discussed a few weeks ago. Regardless, I have installed the update without issue.

Some interesting items to note with the update:

• This is most likely the last point update to Tiger.
• There were 21 days between 10.2.8 and 10.3.
• Tiger was released only 14 days after 10.3.9.
• With iTunes 7.1 last week, Apple beginning to charge orders, and 10.4.9 today, the release of AppleTV appears imminent.
