OS X 10.3.7 already in the works

By Barb Dybwad

Sources informed Apple Insider that the first builds of Mac OS X 10.3.7 were distributed internally last week, less than two weeks after the release of its latest maintenance upgrade (10.3.6). The upgrade is expected to deliver enhancements to CoreGraphics, mLAN Audio, OpenGL, FireWire Audio,
Multicast DNS, CoreFoundation and AppKit.

Unfortunately, the 10.3.7 update apparently shows no signs of a fix for some of the data loss bugs encountered in 10.3.6 by users of external Firewire drives. Some users reported not being able to mount their drives after updating.
The problem appears to affect drives based on the Oxford 922 and 911 chipsets. Apple is reportedly working on a solution, though it may not be incorporated into the 10.3.7 update.
