Digidesign is pleased to announce the immediate availability of a pre-release version* of Pro Tools® software that provides expanded Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard compatibility for many Pro Tools users. Pro Tools 7.4.2pr software is provided as a convenience for Mac-based Pro Tools 7.4 users who may wish to begin their transition to Leopard before a fully tested and qualified version of Pro Tools becomes available.
Pro Tools 7.4.2pr software is available as a download only, and requires Mac OS X 10.5.3. Pro Tools 7.4.2pr is not compatible with earlier versions of Leopard.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Today, Digidesign announced a pre-release version of Pro Tools 7.4.2 for Leopard. This special pre-release will be available for download within the next few days, according to Digidesign.
This is a non=typical behavior for the leading DAW developer from Silicon Valley. The most likely and understandable reason will be the growing impatience and malcontentment of the LE user base, since there was still no approved version for Mac OS Leopard.
Although not explicitly said, my experience forces me nonetheless to warn early adopters. Pre-release versions will by nature be more unstable than final releases. But if you are waiting on a new release because you have a brand new Mac waiting (that is only delivered with Leopard by the way…) you will most likely accept the added risk.
So, according to my source (always been reliable), you will be able to download the special pre-release free of charge if you are already a 7..4 user. There will also be a 7.4.2 for us HD users of course. Although, I have been using 7.4.1 HD for Leopard for a while now, with no real issues.
OK, so get ready, brace yourself and hope that all plugins will follow suit.
Cheers
