Follow-Ups on Chameleon SSD Optimizer/Trim Enabler with OS X 10.8.4:
I've updated the page of Feedback on Chameleon SSD Optimizer/Trim Enabler with notes/follow-ups after updating to OS X 10.8.4. (Includes some varied experiences but with tips for getting Trim working again in OS X 10.8.4.)
  
iTunes 11.0.4 Update (bugfixes):
Available at www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and software update.
"About iTunes 11.0.4
This update fixes a problem that may cause iTunes to quit if you switch between wired and wireless syncing and addresses an issue that may require you to log into the iTunes Store repeatedly.

Mac SHA1= cd9f00b54f2c7b2b46083f8c3d2813e0b3bc3b30
Windows SHA1= 0fcbc773ab3c6f05ccb73468aea96f6b5109b52d
Windows 64 SHA1= 7ea7d22ce2f19e0f52814d37c27b354e2706d739

System Requirements: OS X 10.6.8 or later. Win XP SP2 or later"

(The miniplayer, songs view, Multi-Disc albums items on the iTunes 11.0.4 page are repeats from 11.0.3 and not listed here.)
  

Aperture 3.4.5 Update (info/download):
(download page linked)

"About Aperture 3.4.5 Update (523.15 MB)
  • Addresses an issue that could cause Aperture to quit unexpectedly when deleting items from a camera or memory card after import.
  • Memory cards are now ejected correctly when using the Delete Items option after import.
  • Includes stability improvements

System Requirements: OS X Lion 10.7.5, OS X 10.8.2 or later"

I don't own Aperture to test this, but the download above may not update Aperture installed from the App store. (Support page D/L updaters would not update bundled/app store installs like iPhoto.)
