Apple’s released an update for Mac OS X 10.8, bringing it to 10.8.4. Among the under-the-hood changes are promised fixes for enterprise Wi-Fi woes and international Facetime calling, along with an updated version of Safari.
Specifically, OS X 10.8.4 promises
- Compatibility improvements when connecting to certain enterprise Wi-Fi networks
- Microsoft Exchange compatibility improvements in Calendar
- A fix for an issue that prevented FaceTime calls to non-U.S. phone numbers
- A fix for an issue that may prevent scheduled sleep after using Boot Camp

- Addresses an issue that may prevent certain files from opening after copied to a volume named “Home”
- A fix for an issue that may prevent changes to files made over NFS from displaying

- Improves Active Directory log-in performance, especially for cached accounts or when using a .local domain

Aside from the updated version of Safari — for the very small audience that uses it — there’s not a lot of “wow” features that make it appear to be a must-have unless you’re a victim of those specific bugs. It’s available as an update now via Software update or the Mac App Store.
