Apple Seeds OS X 10.7.2 to Developers for iCloud Testing

Screen Shot 2011 07 24 at 3
Apple seeded developers with OS X 10.7.2 alongside a new iCloud for Lion Beta 5. The 10.7.2 seed appears to only contain changes to support iCloud Beta 5 as Apple has not yet made any mention of 10.7.1. OS X Lion was just released last week, and we expect that 10.7.1 will be delivered shortly as an initial bug fix to customers.

Apple's iCloud service was announced at WWDC and will be launched this fall alongside iOS 5.

I updated to 10.7.2 11C26

- None of my bugs I encountered, are fixed.
- UI performance is still the same with Intel 3000HD (read: bad)
- Crashed two times when opening a app (Pixelmator and Cyberduck). Never happened with 10.7.0

A bit disappointed.

Really? You're disappointed in a just-released beta that isn't due for 1.5-2 months?

10.7.2 likely has updates necessary for iCloud that 10.7.1 won't. I suspect 10.7.1 will have a lot of bug fixes and 10.7.2 will be released in September to support iCloud.

10.7.2 is required for the latest iCloud beta. There will be a bug-fix 10.7.1 soon then 10.7.2 will follow closer to iCloud/iOS 5 launch.

I'm pretty sure the 10.7.2 beta incorporates the soon to be released 10.7.1 fixes.

TOO BAD they are not focusing in BUGS, just in iCloud.

Right, because I'm sure every single engineer at Apple is working on iCloud, and none are working on OS X 10.7.1.

I dont need versions, but Ill admit is a cool feature for others. The main problem is that it cant be turned off. Why wont they let users choose if they want this feature or not, like Resume?

You can lock the files that you don't want to be backed up with Versions.
