Apple has released a patch to Mountain Lion today, bringing the operating system to version 10.8.1. The patch notes are always vague, but you can be assured that a lot of bugs have been squashed, and holes have been patched from the original 10.8 release. You’d be wise to update immediately. The patch is relatively small, just 24.2 MB, which usually indicates that Apple’s pushing out priority patches as quick as possible.
