Not too long ago Apple released an update for IOS to fix a huge security bug that basically made SSL connections useless. The IOS system was a quick patch, however Apple didn’t update Mavericks until today. It’s uncommon for Apple to slowly roll out a patch like this, so some users are worried that it took so long. The bug-fix wasn’t released on its own but instead they packaged it with some of the updates, which wasn’t too reassuring to Apple users.
The update to Mavericks include the following:
- Adds the ability to make and receive FaceTime audio calls
- Adds call waiting support for FaceTime audio and video calls
- Adds the ability to block incoming iMessages from individual senders
- Improves the accuracy of unread counts in Mail
- Resolves an issue that prevented Mail from receiving new messages from certain providers
- Improves AutoFill compatibility in Safari
- Fixes an issue that may cause audio distortion on certain Macs
- Improves reliability when connecting to a file server using SMB2
- Fixes an issue that may cause VPN connections to disconnect
- Improves VoiceOver navigation in Mail and Finder
