Apple releases OS X 10.11.4: Here’s why you should update
Mac Daily News ^ | March 22, 2016

Posted on 03/22/2016 5:11:02 PM PDT by Swordmaker

“Apple updated its OS X desktop operating system yesterday (Mar. 21) to version 10.11.4, which fixes dozens of system vulnerabilities, solves an annoying bug in Safari and adds a password to Notes,” Henry T. Casey reports for LAPTOP Magazine. “The new version also increases USB reliability and adds support for Apple’s animated Live Photo files.”

“The most well-publicized flaw patched in the security updates protects users from targeted attacks that could poach images or videos sent via iMessage,” Casey reports. “OS X users who use Notes as their primary app for writing quick documents will also want to update to 10.11.4, which adds password-protection and sorting features to the program. The new version of the operating system also enables users to import Evernote files into the Notes app.”

Casey reports, “If you’ve been receiving Live Photos shot by your friends that wouldn’t animate, this revision to OS X adds another welcome feature: support for those images in AirDrop and Messages.”

Apple hasn’t charged for increment updates in many years, and stopped charging for major updates a few years ago.

Still, I’ve been in the beta program for both iOS and OS X for a few steps along the way - and even with those very regular updates, they are not as frequent as the Windows-based PCs and their standard crazy update schedule.
