With the public release of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion coming next month, some
have wondered whether the current OS X 10.7.4 will be the final maintenance
update for OS X Lion. OS X 10.7.4 was released to the public in early May,
and the timeline would be tight for releasing another update prior to the
debut of Mountain Lion.
AppleInsider now reports that Apple is preparing to begin seeding builds of
a new OS X 10.7.5 to developers in the coming days. No details on the
upcoming release have yet been revealed, as the first sign of impending
developer builds typically comes from Apple's developer programs simply
posting new discussion forums related to the releases.
The new Retina MacBook Pro is currently shipping with a special build of OS
X 10.7.4 to include Retina-capable versions of core OS X apps, although
Retina capabilities have been showing with increasing visibility throughout
the various versions of OS X Lion and now developer builds of OS X Mountain
Lion. It is unknown whether these new machines will receive a special build
of OS X 10.7.5 or if Apple will incorporate the new Retina display
capabilities into a single OS X 10.7.5 build available for all Macs even if
they do not support ultra-high resolutions.
A timetable for a public release of OS X 10.7.5 is also currently unknown,
including whether it will appear before or after OS X Mountain Lion is
released to the public. Apple has on occasion released full maintenance
updates after the launch of a successor operating system, most recently with
Mac OS X 10.4.11 arriving nearly three weeks after the debut of Mac OS X
Leopard, but the company typically limits its older operating systems to
security fixes once their successors have launched. |
