Apple today seeded to developers a new build of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (Build 10C514f).

The seed is said to contain dozens of minor bug fixes and performance improvements in these areas: Address Book, AppleScript, AppleScriptObjC, ATS, ColorSync, Component Manager, Core Animation, Core Audio, Core Chinese Engine, Core Data, Core Graphics, Core Text, File Manager, Garbage Collection, Graphic drivers, Help Viewer, ImageKit, IOHIDFamily, Networking, NS Image, OpenCL, OpenGL, OSA, QT Kit, Speech Recognition, Sync Services, and Xtype.

The seed notes reportedly include a caution that there is a known issue with optical drives: that they may not be recognized and the eject key may not eject the media, and that DVD Player may hang. As a result, not all developers may choose to install this build.

Mac OS X 10.6.1 was released September 10.

Wow that was really quick, hopefully speech recognition will work better for English speakers from England.
 
I'm excited! The 10.*.2 and .3 releases usually fix the bigger, nagging problems, while the .1 releases are usually reserved for the "holy-crap-how-could-we-have-missed-this" bugs.
 
I'm exited about an update for Address book, mine has been buggy and unstable since snow leopard. My old ibook even loads contacts faster than my macbook pro with SL!
I welcome 10.6.2!
 
Good! I'm getting a new HDD along with SL on Thursday, so I guess I'll wait for a couple more days then till 10.6.2 is officially released and then finally install SL!:cool:
 
Yay! This could only be good news. One version closer to Mac OS X 10.7! :D
 
I'm really hoping that the graphics driver upgrade makes the fan on my Radeon HD 3870 quieter. It works fine under Leopard but in snow leopard the fan runs at much higher speeds. It's the only problem I'm having with Snow Leopard. If that's fixed I'll switch to it and not look back.
 
Nothing yet on iPhone OS 3.1.1, or 3.2, for that matter

Because I'd really like to not have to reset my iPhone twice a day to make/receive phone calls and text messages, which would seem to be a more urgent problem for Apple to address.
 
Address Book fix, ey? I hope I can create new contacts and just drag picture into the new VCard's picture slot. It just doesn't open up that picture zoom tool or put the picture in the contact sheet. Only after clicking "edit" and opening other VCards it works. Well, sometimes.

Somebody seems to have heard my prayers (and read my bug report). :p
 
I hope they fix the Airport problems. My MBP hangs while downloading large files from the Internet, and it only happens at home while connected to my Extreme N Air Station. Doesn't happen at work with the Linksys.
Tried resetting the Extreme settings and using lower security, but still hangs every now and then. All other devices remain connected while my MBP hangs...ugh!
Other than that, no other issues with 10.6.1

Looking forward for this update!
 
3870 & OpenCL

OpenCL needs to support the ATI HD3870. Apple's focusing too much on its ipods and iphones, they should do something for their customers who paid good money and made an investment (the mac pro users).
 
Garbage Collection

Wait, hold the press.

GARBAGE COLLECTION? Would this be an indication that OS X Snow Leopard is actually putting out some proper support for SSD drives?!
 
Dont know about rest of you but since I have upgraded to SL everything is just not right. Movies in QT slows down, items in dock don't want to be kept in dock for some reason, ichat behaving strange with video and audio. Generally speaking is all shhit. What about Apple's "Everything just works" thingy?
Or maybe my Macbook Pro getting old for this:rolleyes:
 
Hopefully this graphics drivers willfix the aspect ratio problem i am having with my Lg flatron W2243S LCd screen.

Since snow leopard, it has been unable to notice that my screen is infact a wdie display, thus staying in 4:3 aspect ratio!

Well, snow leopard can only get better. This is how bad the Os is, Apple is already working on a patch. such a bloody joke to me!!
 
Fixed blu-ray eject

Well 10.6 fixed dvd playback as well as the eject. I replaced my OEM drive with a HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW GBC-H20L. I've noticed a lot of app crashes in mail, safari and quicktime.

I hope the updates don't work backwards for me.
