Apple seeds Mac OS X 10.6.8 to developers

Apple has released a new build of Snow Leopard to developers, the first since 10.6.7 in March, and potentially the last before the delivery of Mac OS X Lion this summer.

The new build, identified as 10K521 by MacRumors, reportedly comes without any detail of changes.

Apple previously released 10.6.7 to the public nearly two months ago.

That update was delivered in two flavors, one specifically for Thunderbolt-equipped MacBook Pros identified as build 10J3250, and a general release for other models 10J869.

Mac OS X 10.7 Lion is anticipated to be released at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference during the first week of June.

I hope not. They just announced a new developer preview of Lion with a few added features. It's never safe to release a product so close to the addition of new features, no matter how small. I expect some sort of announcement regarding Lion though. Personally, I'd rather have Lion postponed till september to be sure it's mostly bug-free. The reality is that no matter when they release Lion, it will have bugs till it's tested on the large scale by the rest of us, but like I said, I don't like the idea of it being released so soon.
