Apple's Seeding of Mac OS X 10.6.5 Betas Accelerates

The previous build included a new Combo updater suggesting they are preparing for release. Apple has previously been seeding Mac OS X 10.6.5 builds as quickly as one-week intervals. This latest release 4 day turnaround suggests development is winding down.
10.6.5 could represent the last point upgrade to Snow Leopard as Apple has already announced Mac OS X 10.7 Lion for delivery in Summer 2011.

Doubtful, Apple released one update to Tiger after Leopard had come out (10.4.10, I think)

How is this page 1 news? Just asking. :rolleyes:
You would be correct about that. About a month later. And Leopard got a major update two weeks before Snow Leopard came out, same with Panther and Jaguar. It's likely Snow Leopard will get one more major release, just before Lion comes out.

I HIGHLY doubt this will be the last Snow Leopard update... if Lion comes out in August 2011 that would be nearly a year without any updates... just seems unlikely.
Also, yes, MacRumors really needs to be a bit more discriminating about what constitutes page 1/page 2 news.

Huh? Apple will surely have several point releases between now and next summer. Between the new hardware in January (Sandy bridge) and miscellaneous bug fixes, I'm sure we'll get more updates.

I figured the release would be page one. Usually these beta releases end up on page 2. I just thought it looked a bit out of place with everything else up there.

I'm pretty sure we'll see at least one more update (10.6.6) before Lion ships and probably 10.6.7 after Lion's already in the wild.
That said, I can't wait for this new update! I'm especially curious to see if it brings any graphical performance bumps.
It'll probably be released this Tuesday or Wednesday.

I still want a fix for the trackpad being stuck. It's wicked annoying. Maybe it will be a smaller separate release?
