Apple preps final non-security OS X Mavericks update
Apple is working its way toward releasing OS X Mountain Lion 10.9.5, very likely the last non-security update for the 10-month old operating system.
Apple issued a new build of the beta of 10.9.5 yesterday, according to 9to5Mac.com. The build, the fourth in a series for 10.9.5, was identified as “13F18.”
While Apple hasn’t said – it never does – when it will release Mavericks 10.9.5, it’s almost certain to be the last update that includes non-security bug fixes, the kind of performance and reliability improvements that Mac owners hunger for, or changes to existing features in the OS. Both Lion (OS X 10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8) reached x.x.5 and no further, for instance.
