It sent me a notification, to ask me if I wanted to learn about whats new in the OS. It then sent me to this web page: https://help.apple.com/osx-mavericks/whats-new
Same here
I think this will be the fourth update to the OSX that won’t affect a single change in my use of the Finder or computer itself. The last three were virtually unnoticeable.
You’re missing out if you think nothing has changed since Leopard.
This release fixed my AirPlay Mirroring… Just in time for NFL Sunday Ticket streaming!

It’s good to have option. Me who is using the terminal like every day don’t have a problem finding this option.. I wonder if there will be a GUI checkbox in the Security page in System preferences later on?
New info icon in disk utility

How did you notice that? I use diskutil everyday and there is no way I would have seen that
Don’t know about anyone else but iTunes Radio is finally working in iTunes. Could never get it to work in previous betas…
Since the update my Aperture has Problems to show the original *.CR2 RAW Files, it’s say that the filetype is not supported. Problems are on Macbook Pro and Mac Pro! I can reprocess the image, but i have to open everyone first!
Some solutions or same problems?
Found a solution – It’s the Apple “Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update”.
Delete in Finder
/System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle
/System/Library/CoreServices/RawCameraSupport.bundle
Download and install the “Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.07” and NOT update to 4.08 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1666).
Than it should work!
So, FaceTime and PhotoBooth were not working in DV6 but they both are working fine now..
