Update One:
Apple has released the newest developer build of Mac OS X 10.6.3 and according to AppleInsider there are no known issues with the software--a diagnosis that ultimately suggests the release of the official Mac OS X 10.6.3 update is imminent. As reported last week, 10.6.3 seems to be focused primarily on security and performance issues of the OS. The summary of a previous developer build (10D558) follows the break.
