I interacted with Apple during the Panther development cycle and that is what they told me. So, based on that it will be 1.8 at least, if not 1.8.1. It _should not_ be 1.6.8. During the Panther cycle I tried hard to get 1.8.0 in and the Apple Darwin folks really tried, but it was just too late into the release cycle. Apple does care about these things, and they are on top of it. No one in the Tiger beta is supposed to disclose features in the beta. The Darwin source is the foundation of Tiger though, so that is a good place to watch.
