The latest beta, labeled Mac OS X 10.6.2 build 10C535, comes one week after the Mac maker issued build 10C531 to address issues with Snow Leopard's Dock, ColorSync, QuartzCore and graphic driver components.

This week, Apple has asked developers to continue to provide feedback on graphics drivers while also tasking them with focusing their evaluation efforts on TrackPad preferences and the ability to create virtual machines, people familiar with the matter say.

As was the case with last week's beta, documentation accompanying build 10C535 reportedly lists no known issues. And while Apple has temporarily ceased its practice of providing a running list of bug fixes that will come baked into the impending release, it did identify 148 components that have seen tweaks.

Among those components are AppleBacklight, Battery Menu, Dictionary, Expose, FileSync, Family Controls, Fonts, Front Row, HFS, Inkwell, iPhoto, MobileMe, OpenCL, Parental Controls, QuickTime, Screen Sharing, Spell Checker, Spotlight, Time Machine, and USB.

In bare bones Delta form, Mac OS X 10.6.2 currently weighs in at roughly 480MB. It's expected for release sometime next month.

Guess 10.6.2 won't be happening that soon?

I guess they are focusing on graphics this update which is always welcomed seeing how the drivers that drive the 9400M/9600M GT were never awesome even if they were a step above those in Leopard.

Snow Leopard Auto Log Out Feature

I haven't seen a reference to this but . . . I hope they are fixing the new auto log out while working and return to the log in window "feature".
This new feature is very "convenient" if you want to log out without issuing a command but it sure is a pain if you are working on a document.
