Apple 終於釋出 OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3，追加在 Mac App Store 內以鏡頭兌換 iTunes gift card

經過 13 個測試版本後，Apple 終於在今早向所有 OS X Mountain Lion 用戶釋出 OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 更新。當中除了少不了的除蟲外，還追加了 Bootcamp 對 Windows 8 及 3TB 磁碟支援。另外，早前首次在 iTunes 11 上的「以 Mac 鏡頭兌換 iTunes Gift Card」功能亦已經登陸 Mac App Store。（編按：香港 iTunes Gift Card 並不支援這個功能）

與此同時，這次更新亦帶來 Safari 6.0.3，它主要修正書籤同步等問題和改善瀏覽 Facebook 與放大頁面時捲動的流暢度。跳轉後可以找到 OS X 10.8.3 的更新詳情（changelog）。

The OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 update is recommended for all OS X Mountain Lion users and includes new features and fixes.

Updating your system

1. You should back up your system before installation. To do this you can use Time Machine.
2. Do not interrupt the installation process once you have started to update your system.
3. You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means.
4. Click the Apple () menu and choose Software Update to check for the latest Apple software via the Mac App Store, including this update.
5. Other software updates available for your computer may appear, which you should install. Note that an update's size may vary from computer to computer when installed using Software Update. Also, some updates must be installed prior to others.

You can also download the manual update installer. This is a useful option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once. These versions of the standalone installers are available from Apple Support Downloads.
