Apple today has seeded a new build of OS X Lion 10.7.2 to developers. The update brings an updated version of iCloud, Safari and a new build of Lion (11C35) which is required for the transition from MobileMe to iCloud.
As you might be already aware, Apple has seeded iOS 5 Beta 5 to registered developers, but in order to sync with the new system, developers will have to download iTunes 10.5 Beta 5, which was also released just now. While we haven’t had the chance to try this new build out for ourselves just yet, it is expected to address its performance and get it ready for the final release, which should be just over a month away.
