The New Stuff

Third Developer Preview For OS X Mountain Lion Is Released!

Mac developers can get their hands on the 3rd release of Mountain Lion developer preview, build 12A178q. It comes with a list of fixes and minor tweaks. The release notes also list the known issues that are still being worked on by Apple which are issues with both Quicktime and Game Center. There are also directions for developers to submit bug reports as they explore the new Mountain Lion build.

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is expected to be launched to the public sometime this summer, just one year after the release of OS X Lion, making it Apple's fasest major OS update so far and the fastest turnaround on fixes than ever before.

ISSUES THAT APPLE HAVE REPORTED:

- On systems with FileVault enabled, cancelling the restart to the Mountain Lion Developer Preview 3 Installer may leave your system unable to present a password dialog at boot time. You can repair the problem by holding down command-R to boot to the Recovery OS and then using Disk Utility to unlock and Repair your volume.
