Apple Releases OS X 10.9.5 With Reliability Improvements, Safari 7.0.6

[MacRumors]

Apple today released OS X 10.9.5, after approximately a month of testing and two months after the release of OS X 10.9.4.

The update, which is recommended for all Mavericks users, improves the reliability of VPN connections that use USB smart cards for authentication and it improves the reliability of accessing files located on an SMB server. Also included with OS X 10.9.5 is Safari 7.0.6.

OS X 10.9.5 will likely be the final update to Mavericks ahead of the release of OS X Yosemite, which is expected in October. OS X Yosemite brings several improvements to the operating system, including a revamped look and several new features that improve integration with iOS.

Update: Apple has also released Safari 7.1 for 10.9.5 users. Safari 7.1 adds DuckDuckGo as a built-in option in the search field, encrypts Yahoo searches from the search field, and improves website compatibility with both Reader and Autofill. DuckDuckGo is a search engine that does not track users.

I hope they finally fix the wifi problems (that were supposed to be fixed in 10.9.4). I'm ready to dump my 2012 rMBP 13.

Save As/To Function?

I will never use Safari until Apple deems fit to give us a freaking SAVE AS/TO option. Jebebus Apple!

Anybody know if this update is expected to make Safari feel snappier?

More than you'll ever imagine.

Actually this is the first update where Apple made Safari significantly less snappy so people would stop making this joke.

My laptop is stuck In a gray screen for at least 15 min now after downloading the update and restarting. Does anyone else have is problem? This is for the 2010 laptop in my sig

Mavericks is my favourite OS X version thus far. Followed by Tiger. Not upgrading to Yosemite anytime soon.

 

[PowerBook-G5]

The last hurrah (most likely)

 

[brdeveloper]

Funny, I only just went to 10.9.4 an hour ago.

Me too... I'll wait a couple of months before updating. It seems to be working this way.

 

[Djentleman]

Can any of you guys tell me if it's worth installing Yosemite, now? I installed DP2 upon release and just couldn't get along with it so had to reinstall Mavericks which is long and annoying, so don't wanna have to do that again.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I used to think it was my crappy DSL, but now I've got uber fast cable and You Tube stalls, videos in new site stall... have to turn wifi on and off.... yet my smart tv never has an issue. Macs always seemed plagued with wifi problems, and I just don't get it.
