Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.7 Build 10J846 to Developers


As noted by 9 to 5 Mac, Apple has seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.6.7, known as Build 10J846, to developers. The updated build comes just days after the initial seed of the next maintenance version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

While the update has grown in size by nearly 35 MB since last week, we've yet to hear about any new areas of focus beyond those included in the initial build: AirPort, Bonjour, SMB, and Graphics Drivers.

Update: We've heard that Apple has added Mac App Store as an area of focus for developers putting the new build through its paces.

I don't know. 10.7 hasn't even entered a developer preview, and probably won't until summer at WWDC. I think the Snowy Leopard has another couple of points of development.

I'm not sure at Lion not being seeded till WWDC. That would be kinda late, wouldn't it? I'm guessing 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 is the last update…

Not going higher than 10.6.9.

IIRC, the last Leopard update (10.5.8) was released the same month that Snow Leopard was released so I think we'll have at least one more update to Snow Leopard after this before Lion is on shelves.

That shouldn't be any kind of measurement. IIRC Tiger was up to 10.4.10 before Leopard was released.

Not likely. I don't expect any significant changes until after Lion.

Tiger lasted much longer because of the intel switch. It got up to 10.4.11

I wonder if the OS X Lion beta stage can be so short. 10.7 still is expected this summer ("Mac OS X Lion arrives in summer 2011"), giving it only 8 months absolute max time of developer previewness (nice word, eh? :D ) if the DP1 came out this week.
