“Following the successful public release of OS X 10.7 Lion to the general public last week, Apple has seeded OS X 10.7.2 to developers,” Dave reports for AppleBitch.
“The seed of 10.7.2 was made available alongside the developer release of iCloud Beta 5 for Lion which is also currently undergoing developer testing. Given that 10.7.2 is now with developers, it is likely that Apple is near finalizing the public release of 10.7.1, the initial bug fix patch for the first version of Lion.”
