Developers to begin testing for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard pre-release

Now, people familiar with the matter say Apple is gearing up to provide developers with a second build of Snow Leopard during the month of April, three weeks or so after offering up build 10A314 near the top of the month. The target build for this week's release is said to be Mac OS X 10.6 build 10A335, which is always subject to change. The last Snow Leopard build, version 10A314, was released in early April, but it didn't include any of the major new features that were expected to appear in beta builds. It's possible that the upcoming build, 10A335, will include some big new features, but there's no real reason to expect many new goodies.
