Apple Begins Seeding Mac OS X 10.6.3 Build 10D522 to Testers
Apple has reportedly begun seeding Build 10D522 of Mac OS X 10.6.3 to a limited set of developers, marking the first official beta version of the third maintenance release for Mac OS X Snow Leopard. According to those familiar with the release, Apple has addressed approximately 225 issues in the update, which reportedly weighs in at roughly 666 MB.
Apple documents four remaining known issues in the current build, related to application updating, Displays preferences, iTunes hangs, and ColorSync Utility Filters.
Word surfaced nearly a month ago that a 10.6.3 beta release was imminent, but Apple apparently decided not to push any testing versions to developers until after the holidays. Apple's last update to Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.2, was released nearly two months ago.

It's about time, although I just got 10.6.2 installed yesterday :eek: and haven't had any issues yet.

The only issue I find I have is when unplugging my external monitor. My macbook still thinks it should display the same resolution as that of my external screen. Thus everything is off the edge of the screen. Hopefully this will sort that out.

Hmm iTunes hangs? Since updating my Apple TV to version 3.0/3.0.1 I regularly either have to restart iTunes on my iMac (most common fix), restart the Apple TV by pulling the plug and reconnecting it, or once I had to reboot my wireless router after the above two "fixes" didn't work. My guess is it's an iTunes streaming problem but there are dozens of people with similar experiences over at the Apple Discussion forums.

Can't wait! A few fixes I'm looking for, including, Photo Booth, after I record a quick message and try to play it back, it not only crashes the app, but the finder also, forcing me to log out. Although, if I wait longer... it'd probably do it! The iTunes hangs can be a little annoying, since I went from a 1.6GHz mac to a 2.6GHz Dual Core.. and it seems slower.
I think that's it :)

The only real issue I have is some confusion when attaching/detaching external monitors.
In my opinion, iTunes need to be revised to speed up processing. Syncing my iPhone causes it to become unresponsive, for example. Watching a video causes it to be unresponsive. It's obviously in need of a serious overhaul and has been for a while now.

I still can't reliably add photos to address book contacts. Safari really makes me angry with all the hanging and iTunes sometimes skips on MP3s like when you're shaking an old discman.
