Apple on Thursday released the latest public build of its Mac OS X operating system, version 10.6.8. Release notes are as follows:
What does Apple say about the 10.6.8 update? There's the obligatory reference to enhancing stability, compatibility and security, but several specific items are called out by the company.
The Mac App Store is updated "to get your Mac ready to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion". Apple doesn't explicitly state what's changed or whether 10.6.8 is a prerequisite for Lion, but that seems a reasonable assumption. One possibility is that the application can now better handle massive downloads such as the approximately 4GB.
IPv6 support has been improved (the new protocol is getting increasing attention as the remaining pool of IPv4 addresses is exhausted), and there are VPN reliability improvements. Support for Kerberos authentication to web proxy servers has been added.
Less esoteric is a fix for an that may cause Preview to unexpectedly quit, and updated protection against the Mac Defender malware. Other changes include support for additional RAW image formats, and corrected time zone data for Lisbon-Portugal. 10.6.8 also includes the Snow Leopard Font Update.

Apple observed that users disliked switching between apps, so for this release, it brought all applications related to the editorial process into the main program, eliminating the need to switch interfaces or paradigms. The processes for Motion and Compressor however, are sufficiently different to keep them as separate programs, though they are completely interoperable with FCP X. Compressor can be used for media encoding even without FCP X.
Final Cut Express, too, is history. Apple says that given the power, approachability, and affordability of Final Cut Pro X, it should be a great product for Final Cut Express users, as well.
With this release, Apple has eliminated packaged software of its pro video apps. Now, all Final Cut Pro X and companion software is available only from the App Store-no boxes.
Apple says it is working with third-party developers to deliver additional media asset management and automation options to Final Cut Pro X. While at launch, there are no third-party hardware products or plug-ins available, Apple says that such announcements will be forthcoming in the near future. Because of the shift to 64-bit, plug-in vendors have to update their applications and Apple says it is helping to bring them up to speed.
