Apple Releases OS X Mavericks Developer Preview 6

3) It concerns me that we're calling it "dual monitor" capability. It should be "all monitor" capability. There are many people with 3+ monitors and I'm aware of at least one guy on these forums with 10 monitors.

Apple calls it "multiple displays."

The closer we get to a Marvericks launch, the closer we get to a new Mac Pro launch

I hope iWeb is finally updated in this beta.

 

[Twimfy]

How many developer previews went out last time before the final was released?

I'm itching to upgrade from 10.6 since lots of new software requires 10.7+ lately!

If that's true then 10.8.4 should be stable enough for you for now.

Don't see much new in DP6.

 

[Michael Goff]

Don't see much new in DP6.

Maybe it was all under-the-hood bug fixes... like a good beta sometimes is.

 

[seamer]

Don't see much new in DP6.

The best beta is when nothing is broken. New features/changes can spell disaster for stability.

Any more OpenGL 4.2 or 4.3 support? Last i saw 4.1 was fully supported, and a few token 4.2 features.

Yes.

Not really. What is new besides support for the new photo stream?

- Places now uses Apple Maps over Google.
- Create is now listed under the Share button.
- Share button has Print option
- Photo Stream is now referred to as iCloud
- No Sharing Preference Tab.
- Burn option under Share menu is gone

Didn't say it was anything good

Very well. I really hope we see a redesigned iPhoto to flat modern style in this DP. I haven't upgraded yet. New UI perhaps ?

I keep hoping Apple will love me and make notification center glow when there are unread notifications.

 

[ghostface147]

Hmm, first build without a letter at the end.

 

[chrisdazzo]

Finally!

DP5 was a disaster, Chrome crashing with 3 finger tap, iTunes shuffle messed up, wake up from sleep left a dark screen etc.

UGH. Don't get me started on iTunes' inability to shuffle songs... Nightmarish.

New UI won't come until a new version. Probably end of next year.

 

[nagromme]

Damn and they haven't even fixed half the bugs in Mountain Lion.

It's the same product. This IS the new version of Mountain Lion.

I could be wrong but system information now shows SATA/SATA EXPRESS in the place of just SATA.

I so wish the tabbed browsing in both Finder and Safari resembled Chrome when trying to close a bunch of tabs. It's so much more convenient to have the tabs sit still before resizing for a second.

Will this have better early-on hardware compatibility, such as with printers? I only upgraded to 10.8 four months ago due to how long it took Xerox to get all their drivers out. I know Xerox is responsible for their drivers, but their tech reps said 10.8 security features made the drivers unusually challenging to update.

I remember in the betas for Mountain Lion it had a circle that would turn blue when you had a notification. I wish it was still like that. Sometimes I forget I have a notification because of how it is now.

 

[iapplelove]

Meh

lol..

As much as this is a Mac site apple lives and dies with iOS

Actually, this is the case with safari, but not with Finder in Mavericks.

Does the new iPhoto beta send a photo's location info to Facebook?

I don't know about Finder (don't really use Tabs in Finder), but in Safari it now works the way you want. Which is awesome.

That's in DP5 which I'm annoyingly stuck on as for some reason trying to download DP6 from the AppStore actually hard freezes my machine!!!
