Mac OS X 10.6.2 Build 10C531 Seeded to Developers
OS X BraZil reports that Apple today seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.6.2, known as Build 10C531, to developers. The new update reportedly fixes the one outstanding issue related to Image Capture detailed in the previous build released last Friday, as well as a half dozen other issues related to ColorSync, Dock crashes, GraphicsDrivers, and QuartzCore. No remaining outstanding issues are documented by Apple.
We noted yesterday that the user guide for Apple's new Magic Mouse makes reference to Mac OS X 10.6.2, suggesting that Apple is building direct support for the new mouse into the update and expects to release it in the near future. Users running earlier versions of OS X (10.5.8 through 10.6.1) will have to install a separate software update to support the Magic Mouse.
Mac OS X 10.6.2 also reportedly fixes a serious bug that has resulted in some users losing all data from their login accounts.

I say either this Friday or Tuesday of next week.
Seems like it should be a really important upgrade. Anyone got the official release notes and size (MB) of this build?

I fail to understand how that is supposed to be reassuring to anyone upgrading to Snow Leopard, as all the retail SL discs are 10.6.0, and OS X of course has no "slipstreaming" capability where updates can be merged into a full install dvd.
Eventually this fix will make its way into Retail copies of SL.

I agree.. Any buyer should try to get the refreshed DVDs at retail and the 10.6.0 discs should be recalled.
However, the bug is unlikely (can't say 0%!) to hit you if you just upgrade, login to your normal account, and then do Software Updates. Since Apple hasn't released ANY info on the bug, no one can say, so being extra cautious is certainly not foolish.
