Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.2 Build 10C514f to Developers

Apple today seeded to developers a new build of Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (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!

I hope they fix up the ATI problems, especially the OpenCL stuff. My 4870HD is getting sad.
