OS X Lion Golden Master Seeded to Developers

MacRumors · Jul 1, 2011, 12:45 PM

A GM release of OS X Lion was seeded to developers this afternoon, with a build number of 11A511, according to 9to5Mac. The developer site has since been taken down, with no explanation given.

A GM release is typically the final build before a piece of software ships to consumers. If no major bugs are found, Lion should be ready to go.

Hopefully next week it will be out with a option to make a bootable DVD.

Can't wait, this is much earlier then I expected! The July 6th rumours seem likely now 

nicroma · Jul 1, 2011, 12:51 PM

Here's to hoping there are no major bugs!

j-a-x · Jul 1, 2011, 12:51 PM

Awesome! I wish it wasn't pulled so I could get it with my dev account and install it right now!

ikir · Jul 1, 2011, 12:53 PM

Finally, i will buy it the same minute it pop up on Mac App Store!

jamespa66 · Jul 1, 2011, 12:53 PM

I can't wait to get home to try it out! Well after a couple hour download time of course.

johnj84 · Jul 1, 2011, 12:53 PM

Oh boy! I was hoping for this today, dp4 has been so buggy. Maybe another iOS 5 beta before days end.

Whoever installs it first, which version of iTunes does it include? Thanks.

utfcmac · Jul 1, 2011, 12:54 PM

GOGO APPL!!!

need the new macbook air!

*LTD* · Jul 1, 2011, 12:55 PM

Well I've been using Lion DP4 as my daily OS since its release, so I might as well wait until the official release.

jonnysods · Jul 1, 2011, 12:55 PM

They must be busting to launch their MBA's with Lion.

With this version everything is easier, but you will no longer be able to surf the internet. Or open any files you created while using any previous software...it is that much of an improvement.

Awesome! I've been holding off on putting Lion on my main partition for a while but I think I'm ready to do it now! The lat dev release was very stable and I considered it but now I'm glad I waited.

Jerome Morrow · 01:05 PM

God help us all then, because it really feels too soon.

Edit: What? hate to hear the truth?

atMac · Jul 1, 2011, 12:57 PM

The dev site isn't down. I got in to get my Lion code with ease. The site wasn't even slow.

There are no Change Notes though.

bugout · Jul 1, 2011, 12:59 PM

it's out and in the dev portal.. downloading now

sevimli · Jul 1, 2011, 12:59 PM

Why not through the software update?

iFanaddic · Jul 1, 2011, 12:59 PM

Apple please bring back frontrow
