Here's hoping "Addresses an issue that prevented some external displays from functioning properly" means what I think it means.<p>Ever since Mavericks, plugging in HDMI would randomly send audio either to the display or through the laptop, shuffling whenever the laptop was opened/closed, with no ability to switch it in the OS. This meant using it as a desktop machine was always preceded by a minute of rage-filled un-plugging/re-plugging until it worked.<p>Observed with every Apple laptop I've owned since (two Airs and a Retina Pro) and two different displays (one ViewSonic, one Dell), so not a hardware issue. Don't understand how this was broken for so long or why I've never seen anyone complain about it.<p>edit: came up 3 times below: changing the output device in the OS <i>does not work</i>. it would always either result in no output at all, or continuing to output to the laptop (can't remember which, might be a mix of both).
Glad to see discoveryd is toast. That's a big win and hopefully it's a symptom that some manager on the OS X team is starting to notice how sloppy development has gotten in the last few years.<p>On a related note, how insane is it that a minor patch like preventing JS `alert()`s from clobbering the browser has to be rolled into a full OS update? When will Safari auto-update like a regular app?
So happy to see discoveryd gone and replaced with good old mDNSResponder. No more crazy hangs in DNS resolving and hopefully no more random hung IMAP connections in Mail.app.
It's weird they haven't included iTunes 12.2 which appears to be required to listen to the Beats1 launch (which started broadcasting like 3 minutes ago) and Apple Music.
iOS 8.4 is out too.<p>It has <i>not</i> fixed the issue I've had recently with audio playback randomly pausing for no discernable reason.<p>I haven't played with it enough to know if it fixes the problems with the podcast app crashing (and taking Springboard down with it) or the random audio pops from buffer under-runs when the iPhone is under load (switching apps, etc.)
Finally.<p>I've had a new macbook for a month and had a linux laptop previously. I just couldn't believe people were using this thing with such an instable network connection.
I hope there's a secret fix here to my problem where the mouse and keyboard won't wake the sleeping iMac. I've had to switch to a different wireless keyboard and mouse which don't use Bluetooth for this to work.
Yosemite is fine on my MacBook Air, but in my 2.5 year old iMac its performance is awful - I've never seen so many spinning beach balls.
Was anyone else's update through the App Store going <i>really</i> slow? The time left was fluctuating between 1 hour and 6 hours.<p>I finally got fed up, did a google search and found this: <a href="https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1819?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US" rel="nofollow">https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1819?viewlocale=en_US&locale=...</a> Started that download, and it finished within a couple minutes (I have 1 Gbps internet).<p>Similar (if not the same) file size as the App Store download: ~1GB. Does the App Store intentionally slow down downloads so as to not use up all my bandwidth? If so, seems like a sloppy implementation. I'd rather get that 1GB download done with than have to worry for hours about closing my laptop or losing my wifi connection.
