Mac OS X 10.6.3 - build 10D552 released to developers

Apple has released a new build for the Mac OS X 10.6.3 to developers, the 10D552. Apple’s request to developers is to concentrate their test on AirPort, graphic drivers and QuickTime. The build also features a few enhancements, such as:

• Performance improvements for 64-bit Logic
• Addresses compatibility issues with OpenGL-based applications
• Includes changes to QuickTime X that increase reliability, improve compatibility and address security
• Improves printing reliability and compatibility with 3rd party printers
• Respects the DNS server ordering as specified in Network Preferences
• Addresses an issue that causes background message colors to display incorrectly in Mail when scrolling
• Resolves an issue that prevented files with the # or & in their names from opening in Rosetta
• Resolves an issue that prevented files from copying to Windows shares
• Resolves an issue that caused machines using BTMM and the Bonjour Sleep Proxy to wake unexpectedly

The first build of Mac OS X 10.6.3 was sent last January, and considering the release times for the following builds, it makes us think that Mac OS X 10.6.3 could be released not too long from now.
