Apple Seeds Build 10F58 of Mac OS X 10.6.4 to Developers

Just a week after the last seed, Apple has delivered another new version of Mac OS X 10.6.4, designated Build 10F58, to developers. The build is the fifth to be seeded to developers since late April.

Like the last build, Apple lists no known issues with the new version and asks developers to focus their testing on Graphics Drivers, SMB, USB, Voice Over, and VPN. Those familiar with the new build note that Apple has not documented in the seed notes any additional changes since the previous build.

It is unknown when we can expect a public release of Mac OS X 10.6.4, as Apple's development schedule is unpredictable, although the fact that the new build offers no major documented changes and again contains no known issues suggests that Apple may be wrapping up work on the fourth maintenance update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

I'm confused. Does this mean that there is no change between these betas? Why did they seed a new one then?

At least they are continuing development of 10.6. Although I'm sure most of Apple's attention is on iPhone 4.0.

It's no coincidence that this is wrapping-up so close to WWDC.

Does anyone have any more information about what they are changing in the graphics drivers?

There are changes between the betas, it's just that they don't add up to a sizable increase in the total amount of code.

Why? Only Apple knows for sure, since they didn't bother to give details. Perhaps stability and performance improvements.

^This. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some improvements in this area.
