Hopefully this fixes the problem on the 2009 mac pros with the GT 120 cards. Only been waiting nearly a year.

In other news, when are the underwear ads going away, Macrumors?

Fix:
1. Shutdown times
2. This (boot with HDMI plugged in on 15" retina) : http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/5836/screenshot20130417at241.png
3. And this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTSKovpZzgM
4. And full screen video stutter issues
and I'll be sooooooo happy.

Does that a at the end of the build number suggest an alpha of a beta?

What problem is that?

My guess would be they created multiple builds in one day, but who knows.

So what changes have been made from 10.8.3 so far?

operand · Apr 17, 2013

It doubled my iPhone battery life!

Always wanted to post that.

Troneas · Apr 17, 2013

Does this patch the jailbreak?

JGRE · Apr 17, 2013

A 8-day sequence is promising...... Hopefully we don't have to wait for 4 months.

Probably not since jailbreaking OS X is unnecessary.

You shouldn't have posted that.

Improved OpenGL 4.+ support? No.

Improvements in WiFi (for some)? No.

SMB and AFP improvements? Nope.

Hmmm, well, rMBP graphics improvement? Nope, still glitchy.

Ummm, Finder improvements for large volumes? Haven't noticed.

Oh, wait, improvements in Facebook, Twitter and iOS integration! Awesome!

Can't wait for Facebook Home in OS X 10.9!

Still no Safari 6.0.4 in this build. That is really weird.

Just wanted to note that the nvidia driver version went up again! unexpectedly since this haven't seemed to happen in minor incremental builds during 10.8.2 or 10.8.3.

Anyway last build had version: GPU Driver Version: 8.12.39 310.20.00a11

This build is version: GPU Driver Version: 8.12.43 310.40.00.05b03

Which is great! newer drivers are always good.

I don't think Apple can fix your crappy desktop images, bro.

Please forgive me if I've completely misunderstood...but I thought I downloaded Safari 6.0.4 last night.

Unfortunately, yes. Sorry guys :/ Save your SMBIOS.plist before the signing window is closed :/

excuse my ignorance but why would anyone need to "jailbreak" OS X ? and what do you get out of that?

There is no direct download for safari 6.04. If there is can you show me ? It doesn't pop up on the updater when using 10.8.4

Squilly · Apr 17, 2013

I'm surprised there are no betas of OS X 10.9 yet...
