Apple today seeded yet another version of Mac OS X 10.6.3, termed Build 10D567, to developers. iPhone in Canada offers some details on the new version, which has seen only minor refinements as development appears to be wrapping up. Developers are reportedly asked to focus their testing on Graphics Drivers, iChat, QuickTime, Printing and Rosetta.

The last developer build of 10.6.3 was seeded last week Wednesday, and we continue to expect a public release of the third maintenance update to Snow Leopard in the relatively near future. Mac OS X 10.6.2 was released in early November.

I wish they would get on with it

4th Dimension is unusable in 10.6.2 (and previous) at present due to a bug that causes a crash after a few calls to the finder, an Apple bug. I have had to resort to an older desktop machine to run 10.5.8 although I have been told it would be possible to downgrade new machines with some effort! If this isn't mended I will be quite mad! Other developers have resorted to all kind of work rounds. Although Snow Leopard may have been seen by many to be a good upgrade, for me it has been a disaster. Talk of new machines (I would like to update my MacBook Pro) is an irrelevance if this isn't sorted as I used 4D for nearly all of my business computer use.
 
Should we expect them to fix the choppy, jerky animations for Spaces? Or have we completely given up on that...

When I used my friend's old MacBook with Leopard still on it, I was shocked by how smooth the animations work on it. And then I remembered that my MacBook Pro used to work as smoothly as his before...
 
WHERE ARE THE NEW MACBOOK PROS?!?!?!! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT A NEW MBP!!!! THE CURRENT ONES ARE PENTIUM II LEVEL DINOSAURS!!! LATEST & GREATEST!!!
:cool:

Just thought I'd get the inevitable complaining out of the way for those who can't wait to bemoan the lack of new MBPs.
 
Please fix the multitouch bug where gestures don't work every few reboots. Also fix the eSATA expresscard drivers that cause random kernel panics.


There were references to the new MBPs in 10.6.2
 
Why is this front page news?! What will you do when they release the next stable consumer version? Will your head explode?
 
omg.. they need to hurry up and just realease the update... we've been expecting this update for months.. Everytime theirs a new developers build. macrumors says the update is coming soon... And they have been saying that for months now...

I for one, hope this build makes snow leapord almost as smooth as 10.5.8...
 
This is the longest development cycle ever for a . release ever.
 
lol is it ever coming out.

I can understand taking so long for a major release but a minor update like this is making even GT5's development cycle look fast.
 
10.6.2 has been working great for me so I say they should take their time with 10.6.3 and give us one heck of a kick-ass update. Afterall, .3 is the version that people usually feel comfortable enough to update from the previous major OS.

10.6.2 has been absolutely perfect for me as well...I just look forward to new Apple releases ;)
 
Tell me about it...longest cycle for notebooks, longest cycle for OS X...I hope Apple blows us away with new releases this year, because it's awfully hard to wait for them...:(

call me crazy but it seems like Apple's development cycles for the Mac products got longer when the iPhone started being developed. Now with the iPad, maybe it's going out even longer. :(

or maybe they are trying to time a bunch of things just right so that secrets found in one product are not giving away information about other products in the pipeline. ? maybe....hopefully....
