Mac OS X 10.6.7 Build 10J860 Seeded to Select Developers

[MacRumors]

Just five days after the previous seed, MacRumors has received word that Apple has seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.6.7, termed Build 10J860, to a select set of developers.

As with the previous build, Apple lists no known issues and asks developers to focus their testing on Safari, Mac App Store, AirPort, Bonjour, SMB, and Graphics Drivers.

Apple's software development cycles are of course highly variable, making it difficult to predict a public release date for Mac OS X 10.6.7, but the quick turnaround and increment of only two build numbers since the previous seed suggests that Apple may be wrapping up development on the update.

*Rips all remaining hair out*

Where the hell is GM of iOS 4.3?!?!

 

[elppa]

10.2.8
10.3.9
10.4.11 (rather high, intel transition and Leopard was late)
10.5.8
10.6.7

8/9 seems typical. One more 10.6 release after this and then elppa thinks Lion will be ready to roar.

Wait, what IS this thing called "OS X"? I keep asking about it when I see a post about it on MacRumors once a year or so but "I'm not familiar"…

How important are these incremental updates? Or is the hype more about "one step closer to lion"?

Depends if they fix a defect which affects you or adds support for a peripheral which wasn't previously supported.

10.6.6 brought something called the Mac App Store. So that might be important.

But my mane take from the story is we are getting closer to lion.

I'm looking forward to 10.6.7 for kernel support for sandy bridge processors.

 

[Schizoid]

...hopefully they've fixed the SIU imaging issue too

 

[dawnraid]

Just in time for the new MBP's ?

 

[funkyp56]

Drop it like it's hot.

 

[ovrlrd]

This needs to come out already!

Talk about a complete over analyzation. Please. I'm healthy as an Ox and in my twenties (for a few months more) and even I walk like that sometimes. Whoop-de-do. I will admit that I loath the paparazzi and mags like People. Talk about dreck.

I want both though (iOS 4.3 & OS X 10.6.7)

One small irritant is in "Desktop" in "System Preferences". When adding folders for wallpapers it keeps reverting back to the original HDD. For example, I have a Wallpapers folder in my Pictures folder, with subfolders for dual and triple displays. It's annoying having to drill down every-time I have to add folders.

10.7 Lion due this summer w/o ONE developer beta. Tiger/Leopard/Snow Leopard had continuous developer beta's released at least a year before GM build. Leopard was delayed as developers were moved off OS X for iOS development, more focus on iOS/iDevices and a lack "Lion" info, my confidence in OS X is shaky. "Mission Control", and a patent application for "Safe Deposit Box", Lion seems like a dumbed down version for the iOS masses who switched to Mac systems.

Is this the seventh build of 10.6.7 I lost count.

I get excited whenever I hear graphics drivers. anyone tested them? any improvements in gaming?

 

[vincenz]

Another reason to update the "Post your 'About This Mac' Screenshot" thread when it does come out.

Super Mario Bros. on a Mac?!

 

[zenio]

top secret select developers?

 

[yukio]

I'm looking forward to 10.6.7 for kernel support for sandy bridge processors.

Agreed.

No doubt this ushers in LightPeak support, too.

So, we could reasonably expect it later this week.

 

[ciTiger]

One step closer to Lion!

they're like "whoops we gotta code this Lion thing we keep forgetting about"

you have no source on that
they could have a large team working on it and are waiting until June to release the first developer build

 

[ghostlyorb]

I love updates, enough said.

NW! If Lion is ramped for a Summer release and June is the first developer beta?! Doesn't make any sense. For the last few 10.X updates we have gotten steady beta's at LEAST one year before the GM build. Truth is, Apple's priorities aren't on OS X as much as they are on iOS. The billions in cash area testament to that fact.
