Latest Mac OS X 10.6.3 developer seed shows no major changes; release expected soon

Blowout Specials ends 2/28“Apple is seeding another developer build of Mac OS X 10.6.3, say people with access to the software,” MacNN reports.

“Labeled 10D561, the build makes no significant enhancements, suggesting that it is instead an attempt to massage the code before a final release,” MacNN reports.

“The 10D561 download is approximately 716MB in size, a reduction from the 737MB size of 10D552,” MacNN reports.

  1. I sure wish there was some words to describe the the immediate upcoming release of the OS, as well as to describe the overall improved speediness.

    There have got to be two words that describe that succinctly, but I for the life of me cannot fathom what they would be…

  2. “WTF 716 mb DELTA update? Why don’t they go ahead and rewrite the whole freakin OS… “

    As I posted earlier this week, let the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth begin. Let it be written, let it be proclaimed unto the world, of some Mac aficionados, NOTHING is too good (or even good enough) for them.

  3. Most posters are forgetting that the System updates don’t actually add much or any size unless new features are added. System updates mostly replace existing OS components with improved versions with little change to the footprint.

  4. Do we really need intimate details about developer seed?

    It always starts the same way, “Well, you see men, our latest . . . “

    Release expected soon? That will probably coincide with a surprising change to the App Store’s explicit section.

  5. “The build makes no significant enhancements, suggesting that it is instead an attempt to massage the code before a final release”

    Oooooooooohhh yeah, baby, massage that code! Just like that! Oooohhhh yeah!

  6. Who are you addressing your comments to that you think care about the bandwidth you use?

    Didn’t you get your normal, routine kiss or hug this morning thus giving your day its normal dose of integrity.

    Maybe I get my fulfillment by pointing out the faults of others. If you agree with that then we have both just been exposed haven’t we?
