Apple developers have received a new build of the second maintenance and security update to Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.2 Build 10C540. The incremental update is on track to deliver over 150 code corrections, to which build 10C540 adds fixes for AirPort performance issues on the newly released iMacs, as well as for a problem that arose when plugging and unplugging a system to an Apple TV.

People familiar with the build also point out to a VMWare fix included with 10.6.2. The fix presumably targets the newly released VMware Fusion version 3.0, according to AppleInsider. Build 10C540 also fixes reported panic issues with USB, Apple Filing Protocol, and some video cards. Courtesy of World of Apple, the complete seed notes for Build 10C540 are available below. Mac OS X 10.6.2 is expected to drop this month. The update also includes an important fix for a widely reported data-eating bug on Snow Leopard.
