Apple Releases OS X Mavericks Developer Preview 7

Caught this slip, i am sure just a mistake since DP6 was released on Aug 21. But look at the "posted date" of DP7, Sep 21, 2013 haha. Wouldn't that be nice if that was the GM seed or release date. A day after probable iphone launch and a Saturday so not likely but one can only wait
That's very interesting. If I'm not mistaken, Apple used to do all the OS releases on Friday/Saturday, but since they've gone digital only, it doesn't matter anymore. The last one was on a wednesday.
But I actually expect the release of Mavericks to be around that time. They will do a last preview at the iPhone event, maybe with a special last minute feature or two and announce the release date as well. But I don't think it will be in the same week as iOS7. Last time the release of Mountain Lion and iOS6 slowed Apple's servers to a crawl, they wouldn't do both at the same time!
Could someone please take a screenshot of the new wallpapers, or add them online somewhere?
Thanks
Thanks
im guessing they wont say anything about os x mavericks at the iphone event.. wont be mentioned till the later iPad/iPad mini event, meaning release sometime in october.
Not until the other Macs are updated
I suspect Apple won't be releasing Mavericks until the rest of the Macs are ready: Mini, MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac Pro.
They could even follow Microsoft's pattern with Windows 8.1 and refine it until its ready for GM.

I doubt that. Btw, if you can wait for the GM, why not wait for the final release?
There are a bunch of new wallpapers.
Also, you can now start an iMessage from notification center (same as the twitter, Facebook, and linked in post buttons).

This update made my rMBP and Magic mouse scrolling even worse. I used to just have the "Safari frozen tab" when swiping back/forward with one finger. Now, scrolling randomly refuses to activate when swiping up/down with one finger. iTunes, iPhoto, and Safari have all demonstrated the same behavior. I've tried unchecking/checking all scrolling options, repaired permissions, unpaired/repaired BT. Only thing that restores functionality is to quit the scroll-frozen app and restart. Scrolling always works with the up/down keys on the BT keyboard even if the magic mouse scroll is frozen. Step backwards for me in DP7.
couldnt you already do that in iMessage before DP7
I'm not talking about from a notification, I'm talking about when you just open notification center you can start a brand new iMessage conversation, not just reply to an iMessage.
. . . as well as an OS that occasionally bends you over and has its way with you!
The GM version is the last release before the public release.
When someone says final release they usually mean the first public release
we know what you mean. You could already do it in previous DPs:
