So if we have the latest developer seed we don't need this update? Is it EXACTLY the same?

As long as the build number is the same, yes.


Don't know if it's significant, but I noticed that whereas the Kernel for 10.6.6 was listed as 'Darwin 10.6', that listed for 10.6.7 is 'Darwin 10.7.0'....

It's not significant. Darwin 10 is the release shipped with Snow Leopard, and 7 simply means that it is the seventh version of it. Lion will have Darwin 11.x

That all oaky but when is Lion coming out?

Won't be before early June as that is when they're holding wwdc. They'll want as many titbits as possible to announce at that so I'd imagine Lion release a couple of weeks later than wwdc.
 
I notice a lot of people talk about their CPU temps as being in the low 40's/50's (C). I have an early 2011 15" / i7 2.3ghz and according to iStat it usually sits at about 61C when not doing a lot, and will happily rise to 80/90 if I'm smashing it.

I'm not particularly worried but it seems like a big difference to what seems to be the 'usual' - might my thermal grease be poorly applied?

I have an early 2011 17" 2.3GHz.. I upgraded from a late 2010 17" i7 2.66GHz and it never seemed to run as hot as my new MBP. I've noticed it too, I have worried a little bit.. not sure how I feel about it.
 
Video drivers for the Intel 3000 were definitely updated in the 2011 version:

Before 10.6.7
AppleIntelHDGraphicsVADriver 1.6.30.19 ()
AppleIntelHDGraphicsGLDriver 1.6.30.19

After 10.6.7
AppleIntelHDGraphicsVADriver 1.6.32.12 ()
AppleIntelHDGraphicsGLDriver 1.6.32.12

Should be interesting to see the benchmarks before and after now.
Agreed! Considering this is a new graphics chip from a essentially new vendor to performance gpus I'm hoping the first few releases show some nice improvements to graphics performance and compatibility.

The cheap monoprice.com miniDP -> DVI adapters (~$6) work fine after the update, fwiw, so this isn't some plot on Apple's part.
I can confirm this. I'm working on a Samsung 24" 1080p monitor right now using a Monoprice mini-dp to dvi cable and all is well.

61C seems a little warm to me, but I should add I live in England, and the ambient temperature is not exactly high here. If you're in a hot climate, that may well explain some of the difference. I also have an SSD in mine, which undoubtedly decreases the overall temperature as compared to a 7200rpm HDD. It may also be down to thermal compound application (as my temps are good, I have no compulsion to crack this thing open!)

I got trim support. Got it from the the factory, only waiting to see if the update removes it. Hope not.

I've seen temperatures over 100 degrees on my Mid 2009 MBP many times, but nothing happened. It kept running.
 
For those who have plugins for Apple Mail, i'm sure you know that Mac OS X updates usually disables them if Apple Mail is updated. Well this time around it was. These are the new UUID's for Apple Mail for you to add to your plugins to enable them again.

1C58722D-AFBD-464E-81BB-0E05C108BE06
9049EF7D-5873-4F54-A447-51D722009310

This is what you need to do with those 2 UUID numbers -

If the plugin already got moved to ”~/Library/Mail/Bundles (Disabled)/” move it back to ”~/Library/Mail/Bundles/” (~ refers to your User folder)

Open ”~/Library/Mail/Bundles/NAME OF PLUGIN/Contents/Info.plist” with the Property List Editor (I prefer PlistEditPro) (to see the contents folder right click on the file and choose show contents)

Insert the two UUIDs under SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUID and save the document

Start the Mail APP and be happy :)


I'll also update my original post with this information so others will see it.

Thanks for this! Worked perfectly.
 
Just installed it, restarted, and my Mac seems to be precisely 20x faster than with 10.6.6. This is insanely great! Apple's engineers have really done a great job with this one! If 10.6.7 is this great then I can't wait for Lion!
 
Um, did this update adjust the brightness/backlight of the 2011 MBP display for anyone? I just did the update, and was running around 40% backlight. Now to get a comparable level I'm running it at 80% backlight. FWIW, I'm using custom display settings.
 
YES, it fixed my .TIFF file problems where Preview and Aperture 3 wouldn't read my files correctly.. Awesome

interesting you say that, as now when I just checked my brightness, it wasn't set on the brightest, but it was before..hmm..
 
Immediately on restarting I've noticed very different colours on a Dell external display connected to a 2011 MBP 13". Whether they're better or not I would have to spend more time working on the computer. Right now they're just different, but not in a bad way or good way.
