Autodesk points out that this Service Pack 1 is a so-called full product. Basically, the existing Maya version must be uninstalled before installation. Afterward, the new installation through SP 1 can take place without problems.
According to Autodesk, there are intended to be no more errors with the Mental Ray shadow shader, and Mental Ray Batch Render also no longer produces incorrect results with animated node connections. Apart from that, however, the list is still very long, and as can be learned from Maya Station through Nelson Cruz, it is worth installing SP 1.
A detailed list of all fixed errors is recorded in the following PDF: Readme.pdf
The new Service Pack 1 is available for Maya 2013 versions under Windows (32-bit & 64-bit), Linux (64-bit), as well as Mac OS and can be downloaded here.
