Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Build 10D558) to Developers

Apple is rapidly seeding new versions of Mac OS X 10.6.3 to developers as they prepare for its release. The latest version was released to developers today and represents build 10D558. Changes listed are detailed by iPhone in Canada:

- Performance improvements for 64-bit Logic
- Addresses compatibility issues with OpenGL-based applications
- Includes changes to QuickTime X that increase reliability and enhance security
- Improves printing reliability and compatibility with 3rd party printers
- Addresses issues that cause background message colors to display incorrectly in Mail
- Issues that caused machines using BTMM and Bonjour Sleep Proxy to wake unexpectedly
- Issues with recurring events in iCal when connected to Exchange servers

The list of changes is identical to the previous build, so the actual changes are likely much less notable. We'd expect Apple to be releasing Mac OS X 10.6.3 to end users in the near future.

I find 10.5.8 to be more stable than Panther was... Leopard is doing fine for me.

10.5.8 was pretty good, but there are still too many beach-balls across the OS. It might honestly not even be Snow Leopard, but the other Apple apps, such as iTunes, which is overly bloated.

Way too many crashes as well.

So, no mention of a sev1 that is been there for years... if you have a core duo imac, using sleep kills airport. Have to reboot to get it back.... Drives me nuts since I have to either shut down all the time or waste electricity (I also have a quad core i7 27")..... I've found snow leopard to be a lot more buggy than just Leopard, for instance, under bootcamp (XP), my machine no longer can see external drives. I get regular (weekly) hard drive corruption and have to "repair disk" every few weeks. so much for focusing on quality improvements... Ah well, I'm still one of the "faithful" ... still beats winbloze.

Kinda glad I waited to upgrade reading that... hopefully when the new MBP comes out, it'll be built with Snow Leopard in mind and be back to quality. Snow Leopard is still -relatively- new, it's only on its .3. :cool:

As a sidenote- I've never had to repair the disk in my MacBook. The corruption problems with your machine sound like another issue besides OSX, might be something with XP? I dunno.

Strange. I have found Leopard and Snow Leopard to be light-years ahead of Panther and Tiger in terms of stability. God, especially Panther with its abhorrent "Hold on... I'm doing something that involves networking so I'm going to make everything stop functioning for... oh, gimme 10 minutes, okay? Go have some coffee or something."

I just don't see anything even close to that anymore, and haven't since the later Tiger updates.

Yeah, call Adobe about how crappy Flash is and report back to us.
