New build for Mac OS X 10.6.3: 10D571

Apple continues to send new builds for the Mac OS X 10.6.3 to developers. This time it’s the 10D571 build. The changes on this build concerned the graphic drivers, iChat, QuickTime and font management. Here are the main changes:

* Compatibility issues with OpenGL-based applications
* Performance improvements for 64-bit Logic
* Changes to QuickTime X that increase reliability and improve compatibility and security
* Printing reliability and compatibility with third party printers
* Issues resolved that prevented files from copying to Windows shares
* Issues resolved with recurring events in iCal when connected to an Exchange server
* Issues resolved that prevented files with the “#” or “&” symbols in their names from opening in Rosetta
* Issues addressed that caused background message colors to display incorrectly in Mail when scrolling
* Issue resolved that caused machines using BTMM and the Bonjour Sleep Proxy to wake unexpectedly

Even though the frequency of builds launched could indicate that the launch will be soon, it seems that it’s taking longer than expected.
