At the next WWDC, hopefully it'll include OpenGL being upgraded to 4.4 along with harmonisation OpenGL and OpenGL ES.
Got a tip for us?

Does it fix the fact that Quicktime 10 destroys audio?!?
Playing through a UA Apollo interface I can't listen to a .wav or .mp3 file. If I rent a movie in iTunes and watch in full screen audio goes nuts chopping in and out. Click out of full screen and it's fine.
Mavericks has been a total nightmare.

Installation issues
Some developers are saying that there are problems installing this build.
At first I thought, yeah here we go again, mac app store problems with beta updates - a very common problem in the past - better to use a direct link instead.
But then they said the problem is also present with the direct link too.
That's very weird. Direct links circumvent the mac app store, so there could be a problem with the installer itself.
I put it on 2 computers with the delta update from the direct link, and it worked both times. So if there is a problem with the installer, it is not affecting everyone the same way.
Has anyone else had problems installing this? If so, did you try the direct link? Did it work?

Wait!! Hold the press!! A whole build number?? Why isn't this front page news?! Hah
In all seriousness, this will give me something to do when I get in from work later.
I noticed a new thing is that apple uploaded the delta update to their server before the combo update.
In previous betas, apple uploaded the combo first. Not so this time.
How can I know this?
Well I have a virtual machine of the golden master 10.9 build 13A603 and combo updates would usually show up in the mac app store in this before the delta update shows up in the mac app store in a more up-to-date build.
Today the reverse thing to what I expected happened which means apple switched the order in which they have uploaded their updates.
I can understand why they switched it. Most developers would already be up-to-date with the betas and it is much quicker to install from the delta, so it makes more sense to upload the delta first.

Some aspects of it maybe. I think there's a lot that work well and stable too. But one would think Apple could do even better since they always talk about attention to detail and focusing on the right things.
Samba has been gone from OS X for a couple of versions. Apple now uses its own version of SMB.
Exactly. But for whatever reason Apple is unable to implement it in the correct way. Even my free Linux box has seamless Samba support. Since Mavericks it's more or less unusable (authentication, very slow, can't save files, ...).
Samba is something very basic that MUST work in order to use a Mac in almost any environment.
I wish Apple would do a 2 year major OS cycle instead of yearly. It's annoying having to upgrade an entire system each year.
I rather have them release point updates 10.9.x with some new 'big' features instead of just fixes.
Example: Kind of how they had Facetime beta app on the current OS but then included it in the next major release.

Yeah. It appears it's bricked my machine and I have apparently no *proper* channels to seek assistance.
Unlike the past, there appears to no longer be an appleseed forum. I can't run the feedback assistant because my machine is bricked. I can't take it to the Apple store because it's running a seed.
WTF?
I can ssh into the machine, which is something.
dmesg spits an endless stream of "Vendor ID 0xffff is not valid"
system.log shows what I interpret as being a WindowServer crash loop.
The crash log says
Assertion failed: (ioModeIDCount >= 1), function build_mode_list_if_needed, file Server/IODisplay/MappedDisplay.c, line 5063.
Disconnecting the HDMI cable didn't change anything.

three years would be better. I'm running the latest beta and damn it feels sluggish just typing.
Any of you devs have no wifi problems prior to 10.9.2, got them with 10.9.2 and seen them fixed with 10.9.3 (any beta)?
Wifi problems such as ... taking ages to reconnect after waking from sleep.

The app store. Since I'm part of the seeding program, not part of the developer program, that's my only choice, I believe.
There is no other mechanism available to me to get support.
The seed discussion area is broken.
I can't take the machine to the genius bar because it's running a seed.

WTF else can I do?!
If Apple wants to get mad at me for posting here, then that's fine with me. They've seriously screwed the pooch and I have no other options.
They really don't to be honest. Even outside of Apple, I've seen them broken so many times.
People will leave their laptop screen wide open at airports and walk away for a few seconds and here's all this financial data from a client that I can see.
