[OSX-Users] Re: Mavericks 10.9.0

[Chris Andrews]

In the install, you also lose the CLI dev tools if you had them installed. Easy way to get them back, without installing XCode like in previous releases - type "gcc" into a Terminal and you get a popup box asking if you want the whole of XCode or just the CLI bits.

Also, custom pf.conf and pf anchors get wiped. Had to go to a backup to get mine back and reactivate them.

>>> The last change I remember to a GM was the 4.2 iOS GM that included a showstopping wifi bug. IIRC, that resulted in a 4.2.1 which devs could patch on top of 4.2, and the public release being 4.2.1. But that was iOS and they could do OS X differently. Potentially a "supplemental update"? I don't recall a change to an OS X GM in all the time I've been beta testing them.
