Apple's Seeding of Mac OS X 10.6.5 Betas Accelerates

Apple has accelerated Mac OS X 10.6.5 developer builds with build 10H563 being delivered only 4 days since the last one (10H562). The build number was incremented a single digit and incorporates no known issues.

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.

The last point will really be Mac OS X 10.6.7 or 10.6.8.

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?
