In the ongoing quest to finish Mac OS X 10.6, Apple has officially frozen the Snow Leopard API’s. For those that don’t know this, that is a good thing, and allows the developers to know for certain that the API’s that they are testing with are what will be shipped.
What’s an API? Advanced Programming Interface. In other words, a programmer can call any of the “hooks” in the API, to perform specific functions (ie. Play Music, display a graphic, etc). Since those API’s are now frozen they can be assured that they are using the finalized hooks into the core of the OS.
