World of Warcraft Update and Multithreaded OpenGL in Mac OS X 10.4.8

Blizzard Entertainment released a 2.0.1 upgrade patch to their popular World of Warcraft game on Tuesday.

The update for the Mac version introduced a number of bug fixes and performance improvements, including:

• Improved video hardware detection and default settings, especially with Intel video.
• Vertex Animation Shaders have been disabled for systems with Intel video.
• Improved iTunes key-binding feature for smoothness and track name display.
• Fixed a bug where Tutorial Tips would not be marked as viewed correctly on PowerPC Macs.
• Fixed a rare crash bug in the audio code.
• Improved support for Weather Shaders.
• Added support for changing the mouse sensitivity in WoW. Previously, the Mac version ignored the value from the slider in the Interface Options dialog.
