Apple on Wednesday released the latest OS X 10.9 Mavericks maintenance update, which includes Safari version 7.0.6, with fixes for VPN reliability and file access from SMB servers.
The latest OS X Mavericks update comes a month and a half after Apple first seeded betas of the update to developers in July.
As previously reported, the maintenance update focuses on fixes for the reliability of virtual private network connections that use USB Smart Cards as IDs. Also improved is reliability of accessing files located on an SMB server.
As for Safari 7.0.6, the Web browser was released as a standalone update in August and includes a patch for a WebKit vulnerability that allows for termination of arbitrary code after a user visits a malicious website.
Mac users can download OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks via Software Update or the Mac App Store.

Seems a little late seeing that so many are already on the Yosemite Beta
Most Mac users are not on the Yosemite Beta.
Joe Consumer does not run beta software. The general public uses released software. Beta software is mostly for geeks.
Also enterprises, governments, and educational institutions typically do not use beta operating systems.
It's insane how many updates today... Wow. Absolutely love it.
That was quick. Updated to 10.9.5 with Safari 7.0.6, rebooted then Safari 7.1 shows up in the app store updates.
Google search out, DuckDuck Go In. Love it.
