Mid 2013/Early 2014 MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 2.8 (Info/Download)
(Download page linked. Software Update should also show this on affected models)
"MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 2.8 (4.8MB)
This update is recommended for MacBook Air (mid 2013 and early 2014) models.
This update improves reliability when waking from sleep and when booting while certain USB and Thunderbolt devices are connected.
This update also addresses a rare memory issue that may cause the system to randomly reboot, and an issue where the system may not properly sleep the built-in display when an external display is connected while running Windows using Boot Camp.
System Requirements: OS X 10.9.2 & later, OS X 10.8.5 & later"
Later builds of 2014 MacBook Airs may already have this EFI version installed. (See version info in the updated Apple doc's MacBook Air listing of EFI & SMC firmware updates.)
(Monday's news has info on SMC Firmware Update 2.0 for Mid 2013 MacBook Air.)
