Apple releases OS X 10.9.3 with improved support for high-res 4K displays
Apple on Thursday released OS X 10.9.3, a minor update for its Mavericks Mac operating system, bringing improved 4K display support for the latest Mac Pro and 15-inch MacBook Pro, along with other bug fixes and improvements.
OS X 10.9.3 is now available to download through the Mac App Store. Apple says the update is recommended for all Mac users, and that it improves the stability, compatibility and security of the operating system.
Other additions and changes in OS X 10.9.3 are:
OS X 10.9.3 had a particularly long beta period, with nine pre-release builds being provided to developers before Thursday's official launch to the public.
The launch of OS X 10.9.3 comes less than a month after Apple opened up its beta seed program to all users in exchange for "quality and usability feedback." The program allows anyone, not just Mac developers, to test pre-release versions of OS X.

Obligatory snappier comment.
Excellent; time to install it.
I presume this fixes that AirPlay mirroring problem?
Not listed on the release notes. What problem are you talking about anyway? Just counting comments on the Apple discussion forums doesn’t mean there’s a real problem.
iTunes 11.2 also got released today, mostly with Podcast feature updates.
No problems with AirPlay Mirroring…love how people claim there is a problem, yet they cannot describe any problem. Of course Mountain Lion is far more stable than Mavericks.
That would be nice. I actually had a reason to use it a few weeks ago and couldn't get it to work.

Audio doesn't work with Apple TV. Was it really necessary to be a smart @ss?
Can someone check if you can do 4k/60hz on Mac Pro over *hdmi* ? HDMI 1.4 and 2.0 are specs are identical hardware wise, so it´s only a matter of fixing the software. Would be nice with 4k/60hz over HDMI as most TVs dont come with mDP.
HOOORAY!!!! Everything works for you! That's awesome. What a magical day. Congratulations!

Update: looking at the Apple discussion forum thread on the topic linked from the article above, it appears that the vast majority (if not all) of the people experiencing a mirroring problem with 10.9.2 had some kind of 3rd party mirroring application also installed (ex: AirDisplay).

even after installing today's release of the OS X 10.9.3 update?
could/would you please substantiate/detail in what way(s) Mountain Lion is [still] far more stable than Mavericks OS X 10.9.3?

Figured if anyone follows this site regularly, they would have known which one.
