It's a small download. Not much in it as it took about 3 minutes to install and reboot. And of course it hid my user library as usual. ;P

At least it didn't turn off TRIM support this time around.

Chris, last update turned off Trim? Sad.

In it now. Safari is new. Checking things now.

Every major update aside from this one has turned off TRIM support. It's not a biggy - I just turn it back on via TRIM Enabler, but still, kind of annoying... the only time TRIM works automatically is if you're using an Apple-furnished SSD. Wish Apple would get with the times.

It appears to be a bunch of minor fix content. I'll wait till I get back from Germany, and after I load the new Thunderbolt FW (not doing either without a recent backup, and I just don't feel like it on the road).

Not to fully rehash the Apple announce, but a few things I noticed...

A fix for an issue that prevented FaceTime calls to non-U.S. phone numbers

Finally.

A fix for an issue that may cause iMessages to display out of order in Messages

****, this has always provided me with hours of entertainment.. post chat.

A fix for an issue that may prevent the desktop background picture from being preserved after restart

Thank god, this one drove me nuts until I figured out it was a bug.

A fix for an issue that may prevent documents from being saved to a server using SMB

Wonder how many questions here would now be resolved...

Addresses an issue that may prevent certain files from opening after copied to a volume named “Home"

Seriously, this made it through test?!?!?!

I think it is a security fix, not anything new :)
