Mac OS X 10.6.5 Release Imminent

Over the weekend Apple released another build of Mac OS X 10.6.5 to developers. Build 10H568 comes six days after the previous release. Today it has come to light that build 10H568 has gone pre-release with a select number of developers having access to what looks like the final build of Mac OS X 10.6.5.

The current version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard was released in mid-June after just under two months of developer testing.
