Apple seeds Mac OS X 10.7.3 build 11D46 to developers

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Apple has seeded its Mac OS X 10.7.3 build 11D46 to developers.

According to Apple Insider, the build focuses on Icloud document storage, Spotlight, Safari and Mail, Ical and Address Book features.

The build replaces last week's build 11D42, three other builds released in December and the initial developer build in November, which were all designated as Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3.

It has fixes related to smart cards, directory services authentication, and Windows file sharing, as well as drivers for AMD "Tahiti" graphics cards.

After its launch, the Mac OS X 10.7.3 build will extend official Mac support to the Romanian, Greek, Catalan, Croatian, Slovak, Hebrew, Thai and Ukrainian languages.

The last update Apple released for Mac OS X Lion was 10.7.2 in October, bringing several security updates and Icloud support.

At the time Apple also released a Mac OS X Server 10.7.2 update, with the firm claiming reliability improvements to calendar, mail, Open Directory and the PostgreSQL database server.

The build is also accompanied by a parallel Mac OS X Lion Server 10.7.3 build that focuses on Apple's Address Book Server, Calendar & Contacts Server and WebDAV. µ
