Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.2 Build 10C535 to Developers
Apple today seeded Build 10C535 of Mac OS X 10.6.2 to developers. The release comes one week after the previous build was pushed to the developer community for testing.
The new 10C535 build reportedly focuses on graphics drivers, trackpad preferences and virtual machine creation while continuing to list no remaining known issues. This suggests that Apple is putting the finishing touches on the update and may roll it out to all users in the relatively near future.
Among the most notable changes in Mac OS X 10.6.2 is a fix for a serious bug involving guest accounts that has resulted in some users losing all data from their regular user accounts. The update will also provide full native support for Apple's new multi-touch Magic Mouse that began shipping today, although the company is also offering separate software updates to allow Snow Leopard and Leopard users to access the full functionality of the device without needing OS X 10.6.2.
