Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 7

They still didn't fix the translucency issue tho.. The translucency from the background is still there even with a white background unlike on iOS where it's just grey on a white background.

This counts for sidebars and almost everywhere where there is light translucency. Dark mode is not touched by this issue.

It might seems silly to be annoyed by this but yeah..

I don't understand how everyone can post screenshots and icons. I thought this was under NDA?

nda only applies to developers... many people have this without being a developer... and many devs are anon, so don't care.

After DP 7 installed, Mac Mail updated with the following new features.

What’s new in Mail?

Mail in OS X Yosemite offers notable new features that make it easier to send, receive, and view your email.

Open Mail for me

Mark up attachments
Use Markup to add shapes, text, or callouts to images or PDF documents that you include in your messages. You can use the Markup tools, or draw and write freehand using your trackpad. You can sign your name using the trackpad, or snap a photo of your signature using the camera on your Mac.

Learn more about using Markup to annotate attachments.

Send large attachments using Mail Drop
When you send a message that includes large attachments (such as videos, presentations, or a folder of photos), Mail Drop automatically uploads the attachments to iCloud. If recipients use Mail in OS X Yosemite, the attachments are automatically downloaded and shown in the message. If recipients use other email apps, they see a link to download the attachments from iCloud.

Learn more about adding attachments to your messages and viewing attachments you receive.

Use Handoff to pass email between your Mac and iOS device
When you’re signed into your iCloud account on your Mac with OS X Yosemite and on your devices with iOS 8, and they’re near each other, they can pass whatever you’re doing in Mail between them. For example, you can start writing an email on your iPhone, then finish it on your Mac; just click the Mail Handoff icon in the Dock on your Mac to see your message in Mail and pick up where you left off.

Learn more about Handoff.

Show nicknames and short names
If you set preferences in Contacts to show short names and nicknames when they’re available, then those names will also be shown for your contacts in Mail.

Export images to Aperture
If you installed Aperture on your Mac, you can export photos and other images you receive in Mail directly to Aperture.

Yes totally serious. GM is released before announcement sometimes. Probly not the case this time but we can still hope.

Not really..When is the last time it was released before the iPhone event? Not in the last few years, at least.

They keep it under wraps. No GM until September 9th.

You can change that even on the previous DPs. Go to System Preferences, Sound, and toggle the option to make a sound when changing the volume.
 
Storage report is whacked

Not sure if the pic will show in-line, but it shows that I have 370GB of audio files and 271GB of Photos, which are way off. I have maybe 500MB of audio files, and no photos on this partition. In fact, it shows my entire partition used when it is not.

They updated the icon for Dashboard? Let's level. Is there any reason why Dashboard should still exist? Seriously. Everything I use it for is getting moved to the Today view.

I use it for a few things, mostly the converter, calculator, and delivery status. It's nice to be able to access the converter while I can see the full screen behind it.

It's one of the reasons OS X is so potent: there are myriad ways to accomplish a task, which gives users the ability adapt the OS to their needs. In this way it is the antithesis of iOS, which is very rigid and controlling. I hope more OS X bleeds into iOS.

There is an option in the Sounds pane to turn that on. Its not the same one though that was in the early DPs and 10.9.

Thanks. That's what I was referring to. I'm at work. But when I get off. I'll definitely download the new installment :D
 
New Sound icon

New sound file icon, older files seem to retain the old icon until moved or copied

Can anyone tell me what's new in Server 4.0 or at least tell me if it supports MDM app config for iOS instead of just OS X? Don't want to pay £59 only to be disappointed and can't see the release in my dev account.

Yep, just submitted it. I did a disk check/permission check and rebooted but still shows the same wrong information.
