No problems on any of my machines. It did a firmware update on my 2011 and 2010 iMacs.

On restart, my 2010 went into Recovery mode and I had to re-select my boot drive—don't recall seeing that before.

None that I can tell. Security upgrades, of course, and preparations for the next version of iOS, fixes for some .pdf issues in Preview—no idea what the issues were. Also, Night Shift for the Mac is here.

I see that MainStage has been updated to 3.3 with a number of interesting features including true stereo, side-chain and plugin support.

iWork gets updates but I doubt that doesn't suck is among them.

This update seems pretty light. Maybe there were a load of security improvements they don't want to talk about. I'm trying to imagine the meeting where they discussed the release notes. One of the short list features is cricket scores from India -- they must have been scraping hard on this one.

If you don't have the .pdf issues—and I've never seen them—I wouldn't recommend it mid-project.

BTW, it appears that the latest Sierra 10.12.4 update fixed the unzip bug that affected the PSP license files and a few others. I just downloaded a couple and they unzipped correctly without the keka.app freeware.

The issue with that 10.12.0–10.12.3 bug was that files would unzip and look good. In PSP's case, you'd get an error when trying to run the license file; with others, the installers wouldn't work correctly. I upgraded to Masterwriter 3 because I thought that v.2 would no longer run in Sierra when it was really a corrupt installer—expanding it in keka made it work.

It was Eventide support that told me about keka. PSP didn't know there was a problem till I told them.

iOS 10.3 is released today with Apple's new Apple File System (APF)

I have no intention of updating for a few days till we see if something mysterious goes wrong as has happened with iOS updates in the past.
