Thank god. The wifi issue has been driving me crazy since I got my new Macbook. The last update screwed up HDMI output to my TV so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that's resolved as well.
When I let my computer fall asleep while running a server, I can't load pages from it anymore. Is that the Wake From Sleep issue that was fixed or is that something else? (Not a huge problem - the server is just used for development purposes, but it can be annoying when I'm trying to demo something running on it during a meeting where I'm away from that computer.)
Are you using a built-in USB port, or a third-party USB PCI card (or ExpressCard)? If a third-party card, that's unfortunately expected, although you can use Jettison to make sure they're at least ejected safely.
This also fixes the new Mac Pros when using 3 or more 30" monitors connected by the miniDP->Dual Link DVI adaptor... it was a pretty big bummer to upgrade my whole group to the new Mac Pros (with 10.9.3)... and each of us have one (out of our three) monitors dead....
Apple really needs to get better with quality control on some of these OSX patches... at least this one issue is fixed.

Hopefully this means when I wake my MacBook up from sleep it won't freeze immediately and need a hard shut down and reboot. Happens at least once a week. It gets really annoying if anything was open. Been happening since later versions of Mountain Lion, across my MacBook and MacBook Pro. Same SSD though. But that's it, always done fresh installs.
Re-establish Wi-Fi Connection After 10.9.4 Update
I had to re-establish my Wi-Fi connection to my AirPort Time Capsule.
So much for Wi-Fi fixes.

Combo updater
Interesting, though, when I go to support.apple.com/downloads the combo update is not listed; not sure why.

Combo updater...
I found the combo updater after clicking on "Browse by Product" on the Apple Downloads page and selecting "Mac OS X". It's the first item.
Or...here's the link.

The problem for me is that it takes forever for my 2012 cMBP to fall asleep when I close the lid.

I don't think that's a bug. I think that's just the way Safari does things now. On a bad Wi-Fi connection (about the only kind I have) if you scroll down while it seems to be 'taking a break', and you'll see that the web page content extends a bit beyond the current screenful, but then suddenly ends like as if the whole page was an image, and it just didn't finish downloading. The scroll bar keeps going, but the contents of the page is just blank white. I think that's what's it's doing during that pause. It's either still downloading stuff and drawing the page in the background, or it has downloaded everything and is just drawing the page in the background, but, either way, not updating the progress bar as it works. So it looks like it's just sitting there doing nothing, but it's really working on rendering the whole page.
