New Snow Leopard Build (10A261) Seeded to Some Developers
Macitynet.it reports that Apple has seeded some developers with a new version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. The latest build is said to be 10A261. The prior version of Snow Leopard delivered to developers was in December (build 10A222).
According to Macity's sources, the latest version does not appear to contain any noticable changes but does seem more stable (translated):
Snow Leopard is the codename for the next major revision of Mac OS X. Apple has said that they would be focusing on quality and performance in Snow Leopard. In particular, Apple has made it clear that there will be efforts to improve support for multi-core processors and GPU processing. These improvements will help developers more efficiently use these capabilities that already ship in Macs.
Update: Note: the update appears to be available to a limited audience at this time.

More reliable is always better. I have to believe, though, that if they're updating the UI, that we'd have seen something in a release by now. Even if it can only be turned on via some hidden preference.

Thought it had gone quiet on the Snow Leopard front. I am looking forward to seeing something official nearer to release, I hope its sooner rather than later.
