The download comes in at around 1GB and changes aren’t specific other than being “recommended for all users running Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 2.”</p> <p>What about Developer Preview 3? Alongside the DP2 update, an accompanying XCode 4.1 update includes a reference to “support Mac OS X Lion preview 3,” suggesting that Lion Developer Preview 3 may be released in the near future. XCode 4.1 preview 3 is a required update if you plan on building any software in Lion DP2.</p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/lion-preview-3-coming.gif" alt="" title="lion-preview-3-coming" width="598" height="187" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15014" /></p> <p><a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/30/mac-os-x-lion-developer-preview-2-download/">Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 2</a> was released to developers on March 30, I found the update to be less stable and more resource hungry than <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/02/24/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-developer-preview-download/">Developer Preview 1</a>, so I haven’t used it much. I’m hoping this update resolves some of the memory leaks that appeared in Developer Preview 2, although not all machines seem to be affected. </p> <p>As always, backup your Mac before installing system updates. This is especially important when using a beta OS, which is also why I’ll continue recommending the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/12/how-to-install-dual-boot-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-and-10-6-snow-leopard/">dual boot method</a> if you plan on trying out the Lion preview releases.</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Lion Developer Preview 2 Update 1 Package – Direct Downloads</h2> <p>Here are direct download links from Apple for Dev Preview 2 Update 1 Package installers. These do NOT contain the full installation of Lion, only the update package released today. If you’re not a developer with Dev Preview 2 already installed, these won’t be of any use: <span id="more-15011"></span> <a href="http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/00/21/041-0836/hHbPjrRxyf66N3gVXVPqyV7fMzyf44jmLL/LionSWUpdate.pkg">Lion Client DP2 Update 1</a></p> <p><a href="http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/00/21/041-0836/hHbPjrRxyf66N3gVXVPqyV7fMzyf44jmLL/LionSWUpdateServer.pkg">Lion Server DP2 Update 1</a></p> <p><a href="http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/00/21/041-0836/hHbPjrRxyf66N3gVXVPqyV7fMzyf44jmLL/LionSWUpdateServerEssentials.pkg">Lion Server Essentials DP2 Update 1</a></p> <p><a href="http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/00/21/041-0836/hHbPjrRxyf66N3gVXVPqyV7fMzyf44jmLL/LionSWUpdateServerAdminTools.pkg">Lion Server Admin Tools DP2 Update 1</a></p> <p>These links were found on <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=12398931&postcount=29">MacRumors forums</a> (thanks David) and are really helpful if you want to download the update from 10.6 to install later in 10.7DP2.</p> <p>For those who aren’t developers, <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/20/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-release-date-summer-2011/">Mac OS X Lion is due for release this summer</a>, possibly on June 6 at <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/28/wwdc-2011-date-june-6/">WWDC 2011</a>.</p> <p>Heads up to <a href="http://www.macstories.net/news/new-xcode-4-1-build-hints-at-lion-developer-preview-3/">MacStories</a> for noticing the Dev Preview 3 reference in the updated XCode 4.1′s change log.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s1ukkdOc-BSFhk-6YC8IcrbKYxw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s1ukkdOc-BSFhk-6YC8IcrbKYxw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s1ukkdOc-BSFhk-6YC8IcrbKYxw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s1ukkdOc-BSFhk-6YC8IcrbKYxw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=hiQ5S1iZB5A:ZjBoaswpLXs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=hiQ5S1iZB5A:ZjBoaswpLXs:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=hiQ5S1iZB5A:ZjBoaswpLXs:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=hiQ5S1iZB5A:ZjBoaswpLXs:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=hiQ5S1iZB5A:ZjBoaswpLXs:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=hiQ5S1iZB5A:ZjBoaswpLXs:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=hiQ5S1iZB5A:ZjBoaswpLXs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/hiQ5S1iZB5A" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
