Apple Seeds First Mac OS X 10.6.8 Build to Developers
MacRumors has received word that Apple today seeded the first developer build of Mac OS X 10.6.8. The build, termed 10K521, comes nearly two months after the public launch of Mac OS X 10.6.7.
No details on changes included in the update have yet been revealed.
Work on Mac OS X 10.6.8 comes as Apple continues to move toward a "summer" release of Mac OS X Lion, which has been in developer previews for some time now and will undoubtedly be a major focus of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference early next month. Consequently, Mac OS X 10.6.8 may be the final maintenance update for Snow Leopard, depending on how long it takes to make it through the refinement process and Apple's final timeframe for launching Lion.

Have you tried disabling CRL in Keychain.app's certificate preferences? I'm getting a ton of beachballs in the App Store when it is set to "best attempt".
Haha I was just about to post that. Saw that tip on HardMac's Twitter feed awhile back.

hardmac_dot_com: If the Mac App Store takes forever to load, you probably have "CRL checking" activated in Keychain.app preferences.

I'm glad 10.6 is getting another update. 10.6.7 really slowed down access to the App Store.

I am going to hope probably in vain, for an OpenGL update. If Lion doesn't bring OpenGL 3.3, then I'll probably switch to Ubuntu/Fedora or Windows 7 because I'm sick of dealing with inferior 3D performance on the apps I use.

for those of us who don't quite understand the shorthand, can someone walk us through the steps? I.E., where we go to access those preferences and then turn them off?
Open Keychain in application Utilities
Open Keychain preferences
Press tab for certificates
Turn CRL off:D

I'm glad 10.6 is getting another update. 10.6.7 really slowed down access to the App Store.
And unless 10.7 has some killer, and I mean KILLER, upgrades, I expect to stay with Snow Leopard. It works great for me, and if it ain't broke....

I'm still running 10.6.5 - when Apple's updates started to revolve around an in-OS store, I guess I didn't see a point in updating anything else. It's not lke there's anything else crucial in those "updates" (security updates come separate anyway)
The App Store will certainly be included in Lion so I'll get it then, I suppose, but since I don't use it now these App store (ostensibly OS X) updates are of no use to me.

Well for me Apple's refusal to offer a matte screen option on their iMacs means I'll also be stuck at 10.6.x as I refuse to buy a new system.

See you again
Please inform Apple and us of your decision as soon as you switch to Windows, we all wish you the very best with your new platform and we doubt we should hear from you on this forum, bye.
