According to a report in AppleInsider, development of Mac OS X 10.4 is complete. Sources say that build 8A428 of the new operating system, known as "Tiger," has been declared gold master and Apple is expected to make an announcement soon. A final candidate of Tiger was released to developers earlier this week.

Although a few minor issues may remain in Tiger's final bits, the problems will likely be corrected in a free downloadable update. Although Apple has yet to comment on Tiger's scheduled release date, rumors have placed a public debut sometime this month. Amazon.com recently began taking pre-orders for the new Mac OS X release, which has shot to #1 on the online store's best seller list.
