"Apple is moving quickly to patch holes and repair incompatibilities within Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, having already providing some developers with betas of the first maintenance and security update planned for the new operating system. Three people familiar with the matter say the Mac maker
issued the first external builds of Mac OS X 10.6.1 to a select group of developers on Monday, September 1st. The move comes just four days after Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard hit retail shelves."

Do you guys think that the graphics drivers were rewritten specifically for 10.6 and to take advantage of OpenCL? If I'm not mistaken Apple helps nVidia and AMD/ATI write graphics drivers for the Mac platform. Does the emphasis on OpenCL explain why they may have decided to stick with OpenGL 2.x for 10.6 and instead focus first on getting OpenCL working correctly? Would this explain some of the performance regressions in OpenGL performance that Phronix found?
Will we have to wait until 10.7 for OpenGL 3.x support? How long will it be until 10.7 is released and what features do you think it may feature?
