"The Mac has consistently outpaced the PC industry and OS X continues to be the most innovative and easy to use operating system in the world," said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering. Mac users will be able to download Mavericks from the Mac App Store this fall. The preview release of OS X Mavericks is available to Mac Developer Program members starting today.

SAN FRANCISCO-June 10, 2013-Apple today released a developer preview of OS X Mavericks the 10th major release of the world's most advanced operating system. The rest of us will have to wait until the fall, when you can download it from the Mac App Store.įollow our liveblog for all of the latest news from WWDC 2013.Īpple Releases Developer Preview of OS X Mavericks With More Than 200 New Features In the meantime, the company's offering up a developer preview today. It has yet to be seen how the company plans to further set itself apart from the competition in 2013. For now, the details, not surprisingly, seem to be primarily focused at developers (this is, keep in mind, the World Wide Developers Conference). Power-savings is also on the list for the browser, along with bumped up performance benchmarks.Īpple didn't give too much away with the latest operating system - heck, we didn't even hear a number - but the company's sure to show off more in the coming months. Shared Links lets you check out links from your Twitter and LinkedIn friends. There's a new homepage with a cleaner layout and a sidebar with a reading list. The company also used the opportunity to show off the latest version of its Safari Browsing app. The whole system can reduce CPU activity up to 72-percent, according to the company. Xcode 5, meanwhile, brings a slew of new tools for app developers, giving them the ability to measure performance, energy use and to test out heir products.Īpple's promising better battery life through things like Compressed Memory and App Nap, which redirects power to different programs as you need it. Adding notes is easier, too, giving you a sidebar, where you can view them all at the same time. You can add different locations to your bookmarks, which will sync across your devices.Īpple also announced the addition of iBooks for the desktop, giving you a bigger screen for all of those pretty pictures, letting you really drill down into images for iBooks text books. Flyover data really does look impressive on the desktop - we got a quick demo of a scan around the Eiffel Tower. Maps has come to Mac as well, bringing flyover data, turn by turn directions and the ability to send routes directly to your iPhone. It will also add the travel time to your appointments, so you don't overbook and will let you know exactly when you need to leave, in order to get there on time. Calendar finally dropped that leather scheme and added weather and Facebook updates. You can also get your Notifications pushed to your lock screen and get updates pushed directly while your system is sleeping. Not now Turn on Turned on Turn onįollow all of our WWDC 2013 coverage at our event hub.Īlso cool is the ability to respond to Notifications. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu. Apple showed off the new functionality to big cheers in the developer-packed room. You can independently pan on displays as well, and AirPlay connected HDTVs work a full, connected display. Multiple Displays got a big cheer as well, letting you view menus across screens, viewing different apps in full screen mode on each display. There's a tagging sidebar that'll let you view them all in one handy place. You can tag files based on location and other details, making them much searchable. You can also finally take the Finder full-screen. Just add a tab by clicking plus in a window. The first new feature is finder tabs: a browser-like system based in windows. The Mountain Lion followup shifts away from the big cat naming, to a California-themed release: Mavericks, paying homage to the giant wave surfing spot. Apple has, as anticipated, given the world its first glimpse of its latest desktop operating system. This year's WWDC, however, has been all about the software thus far. Developer conferences have taken a turn in recent years, becoming as much an opportunity for companies to interact with the dev community as a platform for launching hardware outside larger all-industry shows.
