Apple Seeds First Developer Build of Mac OS X 10.6.5
Apple today seeded the first developer build of Mac OS X 10.6.5, the fifth maintenance release to the company's Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system. According to those familiar with the release, which is termed Build 10H525, developers are being asked to focus their testing on iCal, Mail, Printing, 3D Graphics, QuickTime and X11.
The build reportedly contains two documented known issues related to activating user interface elements in Web Views such as in the iTunes Store and errors with connecting to Exchange servers. Apple also notes that Mac OS X 10.6.5 developer builds contain the latest graphics drivers being tested in parallel in the Snow Leopard Graphics Update.
We noted late last month that Apple appeared to be gearing up to begin seeding builds of Mac OS X 10.6.5, but it seems to have taken a bit longer than expected for Apple to push out the first of an unknown number of builds. Apple's seeding programs can be highly variable in length due to the uncertain nature of the testing and tweaking process, and thus we do not yet have an estimate of when Mac OS X 10.6.5 might be released to the public.
Mac OS X 10.6.4 was released in mid-June, shortly after the close of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.

Hopefully, we'll see newer graphics drivers (mainly for the nVidia cards) that'll jack up performance a notch or two, as mentioned with the 3d graphics update.
Hopefully, this will noticeably improve performance.
If it does...:D
If it doesn't...:(/:mad:
Go :apple:!
Edit: First!

The solution for X11... is to get the real one. You know, XQuartz, since that's what Apple bases their X11 off of (its really one and the same), only they're always two releases or so behind, and they always gimp a few changes.

Yes. Updates are always nice to see, esp. on OSX.
Apple updates are good updates.

I think this is further evidence services are being debugged on Intel OSX for iOS particularly printing. iOS prime feature forward is printing, VPN, Mail with windows or panels, and new decoder QT.
iPad is 1024p and iPhone is retina. Both are OSX iOS. Finder is different but services are the same.
Are portable systems getting 3D?? (dual frame HD)
Just asking.
