Apple releases OS X 10.7.2 beta build 11C62, its third with iCloud bundled in

Apple has today released OS X 10.7.2 build 11C62 to developers, just 5 days after its last release. This build is the third to have the iCloud features bundled right into it, instead of having it offered as a separate download.

This version of OS X Lion is provided to developers in order to allow them to test iCloud features like integration with iOS devices and iWork apps as well as their own third-party apps. The pace of these updates seems to be increasing as they are coming at the rate of at least one per week now. The last update to OS X Lion and iCloud for Mac came on the 16th while the previous version came on the 11th.

The fact that Apple has seen fit to include the iCloud features as part of the package indicates that they are approaching the point where they consider iCloud to be fit to release.

This update provided solely for the purpose of testing iCloud features and is not an official update build. If you’ve installed any previous versions of 10.7.2, you have to revert back to 10.7 using the supplied tool before you update.
