May 5th Software update - Pro 13" 2011

[onthecouchagain]

Did anybody else get a software update on today, May 5th, on their Pros? I installed it and it restarted and it seems to have made some graphical changes.... something about the screen makes everything look slightly smaller; it feels like I have more screen real estate.

Is it just my imagination? Is there a changelog somewhere?

Thanks. So I guess it is my imagination, the extra screen real estate. Maybe I'm just longing for higher resolution :[

That is one thing I dearly wish the 13" MBP had, a panel the same resolution as the 13" MBA...

First I received the graphics/Thunderbolt update, then I received an EFI update.

First I received the graphics/Thunderbolt update, then I received an EFI update.

from the link I provided:

MacBook Pro EFI Update 2.1 -- includes fixes that resolve an issue with Turbo Mode in Boot Camp and improve performance and stability for graphics and Thunderbolt. 3.06 MB.
MacBook Pro Software Update 1.4 -- includes fixes that improve graphics stability, address issues with external display support and 3D performance and improve Thunderbolt device support. 132.69 MB.

So yes, there were two seperate MacBook Pro Updates

Yep. The software update installs first, then run update again and the EFI update shows up. No problems here on 2011 13" MBP with Intel 510 SSD.
