Apple Releases OS X Mavericks Developer Preview 2

[Mr. Retrofire]

Why is this not on the main page while the iOS 7 beta 2 release is?

Safari still at 7.0...

Safari still at 7.0...

shouldnt it be at 7.0?

When doing the install it stuck on "restarting" for about 10 minutes. I finally powered off and when I powered on again it finished installing.

Battery life seems the same as on Preview 1 or perhaps a touch better

Skype 6.5 still doesn't work.

I believe 7 is the "new" safari, where even in 10.8.4 safari is still 6.1.xx ?

side note, can anyone please test ( just for the sake of it ) if After Effects crashes on DP2 as well? I am expecting it will. (as the "fix" probably needs to come from adobe)

relegated to Mac blog? poor OS X.

That's not an OS X update problem. The dev for Skype new to update it to support OS X Mavericks

Sorry, take my statement with a bit of caution, I could remember wrong. But my overall point was claiming safari 7 isn't new should be wrong. Anyway.

Very true, but this site's name is still MacRumors. Seems to me if they want to deprecate Mavericks and elevate iOS 7 that is there prerogative but for logic's sake they should also rename the site to iOSRumors.

What has Apple's revenue by product got to do with the classification of this news?

Developer Previews for Mountain Lion were Front Page material, although I can't recall if the Mac Blog existed back then.

[squeeks]

1st: This is only for developers, and i doubt that 99 percent of the MacRumors.com visitors are developers.
2nd: Many users use iOS devices to view MacRumors.com. Mavericks DP2 updates are useless for them.

Did they add coverflow history back to safari? Or something similar to replace it?

 

[Yamcha]

Hoping most Safari crashes are fixed, on the first Developer Preview Safari was extremely buggy, and crashed often for me..

There are obvious new features in the iOS beta while Mavericks beta keeps us focusing on graphics performance and WiFi.
