Summary: Apple has issued the first patch for OS X 10.10
Yosemite, fixing, among other things, a pervasive and frustrating bug
that affected Wi-Fi connectivity for some Mac users.
The bug caused Wi-Fi connectivity to drop intermittently on certain configurations of Macs and routers. Over the course of the month since Yosemite was released, the bug has generated a 1,000-plus reply thread on the Apple support forum.
Mac users that have experienced Wi-Fi performance issues running Yosemite should expect to see an improvement with this update. I've tested it on a system that was affected by the Wi-Fi bug and the problem now appears to be fixed.
According to Apple, the 10.10.1 patch not only addresses the Wi-Fi bug, but a raft of other issues too:
- Improves reliability when connecting to a Microsoft Exchange server
- Resolves an issue that may prevent Mail from sending messages through certain email service providers
- Addresses an issue that prevents connecting to remote computers using Back to My Mac
- Resolves an issue where sharing services, Notification Center widgets and Actions may not be available
- Addresses an issue that could cause Notification Center settings to not be retained after a restart
- Addresses an issue that might prevent the Mac App Store from displaying certain updates
- Addresses an issue that could prevent some Mac mini computers from waking from sleep
- Resolves an issue that might prevent Time Machine from displaying older backups
- Addresses an issue that might prevent entering text in Japanese
- Allows you to append search domains for partially qualified domain names when performing DNS lookups
- Addresses an issue where the Mac App Store might offer an update to Apple Remote Desktop when the latest version is already installed
