Mac OS X 10.4 Reaches Final Candidate

Confirming reports from last week, sources say Mac OS X 10.4, known as "Tiger," has reached final candidate stage. Developers who received the latest bits, build 8A425, say Tiger has dropped its "pre-release" tags and only two known issues remain, which pertain to nVidia graphics cards and the Japanese character set.

Final candidate means the build is under consideration for being declared gold, although its likely that more candidates will be released. Mac enthusiast site AppleInsider first reported on the final candidate and cited a report for rumor site Think Secret that said Mac OS X 10.4 may be announced as early as Friday.
