A Look at WWDC 2009 Build of Snow Leopard
World of Apple recently posted a look at the build of Snow Leopard (10A380) provided to developers at WWDC 2009. Despite being described as "near final", the build did not contain all the features that were demonstrated in the WWDC keynote such as the Dock Expos. As a result, most of the changes found were rather minor.
Some of the changes detailed include:
- Snow Leopard now counts data sizes in base 10. In the example shown a 320GB hard drive shows as 320GB as opposed to 297GB
- Your timezone can be determined automatically
- System-wide spelling correction
The final version of Snow Leopard will be released in September 2009.
