Apple has apparently just pushed out an update to its Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 2 initially released late last month. While the changes included in the update obviously fall short of qualifying for an entirely new “Developer Preview 3″, it is unknown exactly what tweaks have been made with the new update.
Download the Update by Running Software Update.
From systems that have developer preview 2 of Lion or Lion Server installed, run Software Update and download Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 2 Update. You must also download Xcode 4.1 Developer Preview 3 available from the Mac Dev Center to build apps with this version of Lion.
If you have not yet downloaded developer preview 2 of Lion and Lion Server, get your redemption code from the Mac Dev Center then proceed to the Mac App Store to redeem your code and download Lion.
The update is appearing in Software Update for those with the Lion Developer Preview 2 installed, and Apple has sent out an email alerting all Mac OS X developers about the release. We’ve been told that the new build is 11A430e, compared to 11A419 for the original Developer Preview 2.

BGR claims that Apple is already working on another 4.3.x release that is due in the next two weeks.
Its said to include a few enhancements, address security issues, and it will also fix several bugs that have affected users. Were told to expect the software update for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad in about two weeks.
Few details are provided. iOS 4.3.1 was just released March 25th and brought minor bug fixes and improvements.

Apple today pushed out a new developer preview version of Mac OS X Lion, offering an updated build of the company’s next-generation operating system for testing purposes. The new version is Build 11A419.
Changes included in the update are currently unknown. We’ve also heard that Apple pushed out a minor update via Software Update to developers testing the initial Lion build, an update that will allow them to download updates through the Mac App Store.
It was reported a few days ago that Apple is already nearing the release of “golden master candidate” versions to developers, despite a distinct lack of polish and even basic functionality in the initial version issued late last month. Consequently, developers will be looking closely at the new build for signs of progress.
Apple has stated that Mac OS X Lion will be released to the public this summer, and the operating system is of course expected to be one of the major topics of discussion at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference scheduled for June 6th-10th.
Update: TechCrunch reports that this is indeed the “golden master candidate” build it discussed over the weekend, although the designation remains an internal one for the time being with Apple not expected to push out a final release candidate until around its Worldwide Developer Conference in early June.
Update 2: Mac OS X Lion Server Developer Preview 2 is also available as a standalone download. The server components had been bundled in with the regular release for the initial developer build. Apple has said that Lion Server will be a part of the basic Mac OS X Lion package, so it is unclear why the company is at least temporarily bundling it separately.

A new iTunes 10.2.1 update has appeared in Software Update, superseding the iTunes 10.2 update released just last Wednesday to support iOS 4.3. The new update can also be obtained from Apple’s iTunes download page.
The update description is exactly the same as for iTunes 10.2, so it is unclear what has been changed since last week’s release at this time. Changes are presumably minor, however, although they may include important bug fixes.
After an initial report this morning claiming that iOS 4.3 would appear today, three days ahead of schedule, The Loop has reported that users should expect the public launch to occur tomorrow.
