Apple has today rolled out the Golden Master release of their new Apple OS X Mavericks operating system which is now available to developers from the Mac App Store and Apple Developer website.
The release of the Apple OS X Mavericks Golden Master was expected a few weeks ago but due to the discovery of a number of critical bugs the release was postponed until today.
Key Features of OS X Mavericks
Features within the new Apple OS X Mavericks include enhanced iCloud Keychain features, blazing performance, and new breakthrough technologies in Safari as well as the addition of Apple’s new Maps service. The iCloud Keychain feature is particularly noteworthy as it securely stores your website usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers, and keeps them up to date across all your devices. This means you can access your important information from any Apple device seamlessly.
Safari has also seen significant improvements, with enhanced performance and energy efficiency. The new version of Safari includes a revamped Top Sites page, a sidebar that combines bookmarks, your Reading List, and Shared Links, and a new power-saving feature that reduces the energy consumption of web pages.
Apple explains a little more about the multiple monitor support.
“OS X Mavericks takes full advantage of every display connected to your Mac, giving you even more flexibility to work the way you want. There’s no longer a primary or secondary display — now each has its own menu bar, and the Dock is available on whichever screen you’re working on.”
Additional Enhancements and Improvements
Another significant addition to OS X Mavericks is the new Maps application. This app brings the same rich mapping experience from iOS to the Mac, including vector graphics, 3D Flyover views, and turn-by-turn directions. You can even send directions from your Mac to your iPhone for use on the go.
The Calendar app has also been redesigned with a fresh new look and new features. It now includes continuous scrolling to make it easier to navigate through your schedule, and a new event inspector that provides more information about your events at a glance. Additionally, the Calendar app now integrates with Maps to provide travel time estimates and weather forecasts for your events.
OS X Mavericks also introduces Finder Tabs, which allow you to declutter your desktop by consolidating multiple Finder windows into a single window with multiple tabs. This makes it easier to navigate between different folders and files without having to open multiple windows.
Another new feature is Tags, which allows you to organize your files with keywords. You can tag files with one or more keywords, and then easily find them later by searching for those tags. This makes it easier to keep track of important files and projects.
