The update, which can be accessed via the Mac App Store, includes several notable bug fixes including a fix for an issue that caused iMessages to display out of order along with Microsoft Exchange and Calendar compatibility improvements.

I don't see any significant bugfixes...kinda dissapointed.

I guess better window management, opengl 4.1, newer libraries, etc would be a wet wish for 10.9. Seems like all Apple cares about is iOS, screw OSX users.

Stop with the Safari feels snappier cracks.

They are frivolous posts and will be removed.

i've always found it curious that these fixes tend to be for fairly obscure issues
