Apple Releases Lion Developer Preview 3
Hot on the heels of the Mac OS X 10.6.8 build Apple seeded to developers earlier today, Lion Developer Preview 3 was seeded to all developers. Though the update shows up in Lion's Software Update as "Lion Developer Preview Update" it is not a fourth update of Lion Developer Preview 2, but is a completely new version 3 build.
All Software Update says about the new 1.07 GB build is that "The Lion Developer Preview Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 2." However, MacStories has confirmed that some of the new features in Developer Preview 3 include a new boot animation, new graphical elements in the Finder's toolbar, new desktop wallpapers and that Reading List is now enabled in Safari.

If you guys want to see the new Lion features, follow me on Twitter. I never agreed to any NDA (cough cough) so I have no problem with posting videos of the features. @MikeBeas is the account. Just posted the new, completely redesigned login screen, Reading List, and a some other stuff tonight. Posted a lot of other features in previous builds as well.

I have had loads of stability problems with Lion Dev 2, but upon installing this latest developer preview (through software update), Safari seems to be a lot more stable.
It's not perfect yet, but a marked improvement - at least on my system anyways.
You can now assign any app in Dock to always open on a specified Space.

Do you guys know - do I need to get a new redeem code for this? I'd love to actually be able to see the updates when they come in.
It actually gave me a different redeem code for preview 2. If you already used your code, you will get it under the "purchased" section of the appstore if logging in with the account with which you redeemed. You can try checking if preview 2 is in there.

Thanks!
Software update, not App Store? Isn't that different, or am I not remembering right?
