Apple is preparing to release a limited beta version of Mac OS X 10.6.3, following just a month after publicly introducing 10.6.2, according to a report.
The update — expected within 48 hours — will include an unknown list of issues and carry a “10Dxx” prefix, the report claims. (When 10.6.2 was detected, it carried a “10B” and “10C” prefix.) The previous update addressed a series of issues, including the notorious “guest account” bug that deleted data when logging into or out of a Mac running the Snow Leopard operating system.
The 10.6.2 update was released about a month after it entered the hands of developers, potentially signaling the time when 10.6.3 may reach the public.
In November, word leaked out that Apple may be working on a new version of its Mac OS X software. A company had detected in its application logs “11A47,” hinting the Cupertino, Calif. firm may have begun developing Mac OS X 10.7 soon after 10.6 was released in August.
