OS X 10.9.2 Bug fixes and changes.

[MacsRgr8]

Every OS is "blazing fast" upon clean install. The slowness, beachballing and issues usually appear after longer use.

Yep.
Usually caused by lots of cache files (user caches, system caches, etc.), here and there a faulty .plist, corrupt "open-wth" list... etc, etc...
... which all result to lots of disk activity, which causes slow-responsiveness of the Mac.

It does help to use a fast SSD.

So far it's not about what bugs are fixed - rather what bugs TO fix.

build 13C32 seed note says

Focus Areas:

- VPN

God knows that's needed. Cisco's AnyConnect and Juniper's Network Connect and Pulse clients on Mavericks have been the bane of my existence. Cisco's said that Apple had acknowledged it was a Mavericks issue, was hopiing to see the fixes in 10.9.1

I hope they fixed safari , it is too slugglish I went to chrome.

Can't understand. Chrome is quite nice, but not so integrated like I wanted to. Pinch to zoom is ugly as hell.

When people say "release" they usually mean General Availability state, not developer beta.

So according to your thought process most games are released before premiere? For example Diablo 3 expansion pack is already released since it's in closed beta state, right?

pff -.-

Nonsense. Call it what you like, but "Released to developers" means exactly what the words convey: after the limited release, developers gained access to it, because it was released to them, not to the general public (otherwise, it wouldn't have said "released TO DEVELOPERS"). What is it you don't understand?

So I read they updated AMD graphics drivers. If possible would be nice to have some tests if there are improvements with graphics.

Hope they fix the issue with Mission Control and turning on hot corners. If you turn on show desktop and touch the corner you will see a glitch under the toolbar.

I have a 2010 13" MBP (8GB RAM) and have this problem with 10.9.1 (it was already there in 10.9 as well): When the compressed memory is in use (even a few MB), the changing desktop and mission control animation get jerky and stutter after a few hours of use. The next day, they are awful. They stay that way until the system is restarted (which I don't do that often).

However, if the compressed memory usage is 0 MB, these animations always stay smooth. But Mavericks always finds a way to load your RAM with file cache, so it inevitably starts using a few MB of compressed memory. I think this choppy animation may be an issue with the Graphic drivers in my Mac. Perhaps because the graphic card shares its memory with the system and it gets compressed.

I use my computer for mainly browsing with Chrome, sometimes I have a lot of tabs open but the CPU usage is very low.

Has this issue been fixed in 10.9.2?

Appreciate your replies.

I cannot copy files to my NAS anymore. I've only tried while using VPN though (edit: This is only an issue over VPN). I hope this is something they plan on working on while addressing the VPN issues, as I dislike having to boot into Windows to save files.

Bug: facetime camera doesn't work on MBA 13' mid-2013. Photo Booth doesn't work too. Reported to Apple. Reinstalled 10.9.1 and everything is OK.

Any idea how to fix (refresh, re-index or something) the slow Open With... menu?
Edit: the Share menu is even slower.
