OS X 10.8.3 Build 12D78 Seeded to Developers

Not sure what slow shutdown everyone talking about.. i can see it with older macbook pros but with rmbp its like 3-4 secs..

Hope they get done with 10.8.3 and release it. can't wait for 10.9 preview

Craig Federighi took over OSX at Apple about when 10.8.2 was released.
I am told by people within Apple that he has an engineer's mindset and has been very disappointed with the stream of minor bugs and irritations that built up within Lion and Mountain Lion.

This long delay with 10.8.3 may (let's hope so) confirm this.
It would be nice to believe that, every week, he tries the latest 10.8.3 then comes into the engineering meeting screaming "Does it fix the power management bugs? NO! Does it fix the locationd crashing bugs? NO! Does it fix the Finder caching and displaying out of date information bugs? NO! So go and fscking fix them. Because no way are we EVER shipping again a piece of software as buggy as we have over the past eighteen months --- not as long as I am in charge!"

Does it fix the Finder not being able to resize windows correctly bug? Sadly still no. :) This is honestly one bug that I'm most annoyed about since Lion hit. 2 years and still not a fix.

On the one hand this is a great thing. On the other hand, shipping is a feature. You'll never squash every bug.
 
Dear Apple,

Can you please release final build of 10.8.3 before the end of the month so I can spend my Easter holidays reinstalling all of my Macs?

I'm going to do it anyway - 10.8.2 or .3, but it would be sweet to update to the latest version without a need to apply another update soon afterwards.

K thx.

We can hope! I've certainly noticed (in my tiny little insignificant bit of the world) more issues than I have in the past. They can make my life a bit more inconvenient, but nothing life threatening :p

Federighi took over in 2011.

This is just ridiculous. I have had wake on LAN issues ever since 10.7.2 and have done troubleshooting GALORE with Apple and at no point did anyone ever admit that it is their software issue. Finally I read that it fixes it in 10.8.3 and still waiting. What happened to IT JUST WORKS? It seems that it is a thing of the past.

EXACTLY the same here with 10.8.2; plus sandbox messages, Steam issues etc.
 
Well, if they really do manage to fix most of the bugs in OS X, the wait will definitely be worth. Imagine having a rock solid OS where nothing ever gets messed up and really works as it was intended to. Sounds pretty good, eh? :rolleyes:

I don't have any issues with rMBP either. And the last time I checked I have 3.0 myopic vision on both eyes but am certainly not blind.

Are we all talking about the same model rMBPs? 13" vs 15" for eg? Just thinking people could be "arguing" about different models.

Yes, but he took over iOS on October 29, 2012.
It is quite possible that the most problematic irritations in OSX ultimately rely on control over both OSs to get them fixed, given that they share so much code and that some features are introduced first in one, then in the other.

I could imagine, for example, in the past, that if an OSX person wanted to fix say, some aspect of sandboxing that was causing problems for OSX, he was told not to touch that code because it might cause problems for iOS. Now, with a unified head of both OSs, it's easier to get issues like that resolved IF the guy at the top wants them resolved.

Considering how much the last build fixed, I'm hoping this will have the same results.

It's worth the wait!

Precisely. If Apple released this sooner, people would inevitably find some bug and complain that Apple should have taken their time.

Oh, and regarding your signature- GO BEARKATS! Just kidding... you beat us two years in a row, you have every right to be proud. :D
