Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.3 Build 10D538 to Developers
More specifically, people familiar with Friday's beta say it includes an update to QuickTime X that, when finalized, will improve security and compatibility while simultaneously enhancing overall reliability. The release will also include tweaks that aim to enhance the performance of Apple's 64-bit Logic pro audio suite. Other planned improvements include better compatibility with third-party printers and OpenGL-grounded applications, those same people say.
One documented known issue reportedly remains in the latest build, involving the viewing of photos via Front Row.Apple seeded its first test version of Mac OS X 10.6.3 to developers earlier this month, revealing a significant number of fixes in the new update, as well as several outstanding issues still needing attention at the time.
Mac OS X 10.6.3 also reportedly contains greatly improved support for OpenGL 3.0, which would offer significantly improved graphics performance should Apple implement full support for the standards. It is unknown at this time whether the latest 10.6.3 build has made any additional steps toward that goal.

Looking forward to that!
I doubt anyone has a card that takes advantage of Open GL 3.0 on the Mac platform. So is this an indication that the Mac Pro will be getting an HD 5000 series card in the future?
TBH I'm hoping its not the Nvidia Fermia Platform. While it does "look" better, nVidia drivers are just terrible on Mac OSX.
I wish Apple would just pony up and pay for DirectX to be ported to the Mac, with mainstream games produced for OS X, and without the major performance drop all Mac ports see, Peecee fanboys would finally lose the last card in their deck.
Even if Direct X was ported, you'll still see a performance drop in ports.

Lol? This is an update to OpenGL 3.0, not 3.2.
3.2 has the Radeon 5000+ support.
