Apple has seeded developers with two updates tonight.
The first is the Mac OS X 10.5.2 (9C7) update which lists fixes to 76 distinct issues. Bug fixes range from memory leaks, various printing issues, SMB support and more. Apple issued Mac OS X 10.5.1 in November and has recently updated retail copies of Leopard to include the full 10.5.1 version. A Page 2 rumor pegs the Mac OS X 10.5.2 final release at Macworld Expo in January.
Next, Apple has finally seeded Java SE 6 Preview 8 for Leopard.

This latest seed requires a 64-bit capable Intel-powered Mac and is described as having received only limited testing thus far.
