Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.4 Build 10F566 to Developers

Apple today seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.6.4, termed Build 10F566, to developers. Those familiar with the new build note that it carries the same highlighted fixes included in the previous build issued one week ago, and continues to list no known issues.

As has been true for the past several builds released to developers, testers are asked to focus their efforts on Graphics Drivers, SMB, USB, Voice Over, and VPN. Today's release marks the seventh build of Mac OS X 10.6.4 to make its way into the hands of developers since seeding began in late April.

A public release of Mac OS X 10.6.4 had been rumored for WWDC, but it appears that Apple is not quite ready to push it out to the general public. The continued lack of documented known issues, small interval in build number since the last seed, and stability in featured fixes and focus areas all suggest that Apple may be wrapping up development on the latest maintenance update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the company's development schedule is unpredictable and thus we are unable to say with any degree of certainty when we can expect to see a public launch of Mac OS X 10.6.4.

yesh. 3rd build with no documented issues? What's the hold up? I mean, I love how Apple is making sure everything works right, unlike another company... but still. I just want to see if the upgraded graphics drivers improve performance in my Steam games like HL2.

10.6.4 probably contains references to new hardware. We're not gonna see it until that is released.

I doubt that, remember the last time they release multiple major releases at same time?

Likely 10.6.4 will come out a week before iTunes 9.2 a couple of days before iOS 4.

Just wait for the official release. Developer builds often have bugs.

I'd say just release it already dammit, but I doubt it'll resolve my graphics issues anyway. They tend to ignore hardware older than a month or two.
