Apple today released an updated version of OS X 10.9.1 for developers, which has a build number of 13B40 . Today's release comes nearly two weeks after the second 10.9.1 beta, which had a build number of 13B35.

Last week's build included several fixes for Gmail in OS X Mail, along with improvements to the Smart Mailbox functionality. It also included bug fixes for emojis when used with VoiceOver, and included an update to the Shared Links tab when the Safari Sidebar is open. Build 13B40 includes the same fixes.

Registered developers can download the update through the software update tool in the Mac App Store.

10.7.1 and 10.8.1 took them about a month. Thought we'd get final release this week. Guess not.
 
Lay this one at the feet of Google

I think they did that on purpose to sabotage Google. LOL.

Uh, no. Google did it because they can't write decent software, and can't resist the urge to use their own non-standard implementations of common standards. Fine if you make it better, but Google… doesn't.
 
Cover flow bug and quicktime converting

I'm hoping that they fix the dreaded cover flow bug, this is really hurting my workflow when dealing with and organizing tons of pictures and previewing files. Also quicktime having to convert file formats to open in quicktime is ridiculous! Having to convert files that are uncompressed or in other formats that should be easily readable i.e. mp4, etc... is sad. I'm trying to leave my files in native format please!!!!!!!!!
 
NEW SAFARI ICON!!!

Nah, just kidding.

Seeing as I haven't had any bugs with .0 I'm not really noticing any huge difference other than Finder response time feels a little better.
 
Fix the preview issue for photos and stuff. When I use space preview is sometimes crashes and doesn't produce a preview for the image. Particularly CR2 files. Canon raw files....
 
Where can I find a direct download? I hate this seed plug in stuff. It annoys me enough that I'm thinking of canceling my Dev account. I don't even submit my apps to the App store.
 
I hope they fix the Keychain bug chewing up download quota. Several 10.9 machines burning through 6-8Gb a day. Spent the last week shaped to 256kbs having blown quota.
 
I really hope they bring back the ability to enable 2D dock at the bottom. The 3D dock by no means is horrible, I also love it, but to be honest I really like the new 2D dock..

Going all the way back to 10.0.0 and 10.0.1, this is the longest time ever between a 10.x.0 release and the 10.x.1 release.

This is mostly correct.

Except for Puma.

10.1 was released September 25, 2001 and 10.1.1 was released November 12, 2001.

So we have a few days left before mavericks beats puma for the longest .1 release time.
 
Does this release fix the Finder lags—loading tabs and showing content, quick view, etc?

Their HTML skills have been lacking lately, mainly YouTube and gmail on mobile devices.
 
Any development on Nvidia video card support? Is OpenCL still broken? I'm waiting for the bugs to be fixed so I can upgrade my Mac Pro's video card to a GTX 660. Either Apple or Nvidia needs to do something.

So many areas of needed fixes and improvement, and they're working on emojis.... #srsly :confused:

Are you also confused, that Apple has people working on any other software products, marketing, hardware design and customer support, and people doing gardening and catering, all the while there are bugs in OS X that need to get fixed?

Most roles are highly specialized, and not interchangable, not even within the same product team. So someone working on the emojis could not just quickly be thrown to work on memory management and file systems, without familiarizing them to those parts of the system. It would take time and resources to train them, and that would not help getting bug fixes out any quicker.

Having someone fix a bug in the part of the system they are specialized in, is not going to slow down the improvement in other areas.
