"About iTunes 10.3

 Introducing iTunes in the Cloud beta. The music you purchase in iTunes appears automatically on all your devices. You can also download your past iTunes purchases. Where you want, when you want. 

• Automatic Downloads. Purchase music from any device or computer and automatically download a copy to your Mac and iOS devices. 

• Download Previous Purchases. Download your past music purchases again at no additional cost. Your purchases are available in the iTunes Store on your Mac or in the iTunes app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer on the iTunes Store.

iTunes 10.3 also adds Books to the iTunes Store, where you can discover and buy your favorite books on your computer and automatically download them to iBooks on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

This version also allows you to use Automatic Downloads with apps and books or download previously purchased apps and books from your computer or iOS device.

For information on the security content of this update, please visit: support.apple.com/kb/HT1222.
(no doc on iTunes 10.3 there yet, but may be by the time you read this.)

System Requirements:
Mac OS X version 10.5 or later... "

Full requirements are listed at the download page. (10.3 also released for windows.)

• Betanews' follow-up to a June 2nd article 'I got hacked on iTunes' is making the rounds. (An Apple forum thread on the subject (started Nov 2010) has new reports also and as of June 7th is 25 pages long.)
  I hesitated posting this stuff again (flamed it you do, flamed it you don't.) I won't repeat all the past discussion on this - blaming phishing, keyloggers, weak passwords, using the same pw that may have been compromised elsewhere, gift-card fraud, etc although many users disputed that. Others of course say if it was an Apple breach, then there would be millions affected. Regardless of blame, this is a reminder about security. And nothing is perfect, Apple did update their servers last month noting "iTunes Store and Mac App Store - A password validation issue was addressed in the handling of AOL accounts".)
