Sam OliverAccording to information provided to The Boy Genius Report, Mac OS X 10.6.1 includes a number of minor compatibility, security and stability fixes. No timetable for release is available, though it's safe to assume it would likely be weeks rather than days. According to the tip, the current fixes, in documentation allegedly provided by Apple, include:
- Compatibility with some Sierra Wireless 3G modems
- An issue that might cause DVD playback to stop unexpectedly
- Some printer compatibility drivers not appearing properly in the add printer browser
- An issue that might make it difficult to remove an item from the Dock
- Instances where automatic account setup in Mail might not work
- an issue where pressing cmd-opt-t in Mail brings up the special characters menu instead of moving a message
- Motion 4 becoming unresponsive
The build also updates Flash to version 10.0.32.18. build 10B503 and is a 71.5MB download.
Earlier Thursday, sources informed AppleInsider that the beta for Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.1 was provided to developers on Monday, Sept. 1, just four days after the software became publicly available. Those who received the betas earlier this week are part of a smaller, more exclusive group that traditionally operates on an invitation-only basis. That is unlike the Apple Developer Connection, which is open to all developers that pay the appropriate fees.

Good to see how fast Apple are on the fixes. To have so few issues after rewriting virtually an entire OS is pretty amazing
I'm having very few problems with 10.6 so this isn't to important right at the moment. However if they where to update the Video drivers for my early 2008 MBP I'd be very happy. In part I mean doing video decode on the GPU hardware.
I'm not sure if there are technical issues here or if Apple is just being silly but they need to support more than the 9400M. It is one thing on the older hardware but what is the excuse for the other shipping hardware?
It is unfortunate but it looks like the GPU drivers are taking much longer to complete than any body wants to here about. The OpenGL regressions kinda highlight this and are a public comment on the state of the video drivers. I have to wonder though about hardware acceleration of Video decode and the OpenCL drivers. Even though it appears that the hardware is giving us excellent results I have to think they could get much faster as glitches are worked out.Dave

These "fixes" would have probably started after their marketing department announced Gold master. They will add in the high priority items discovered after release and to make a quick patch. It is always a question of deciding how many known defects can be pushed to a point update after a release.
