Apple Seeds New 13A598 Build of Mavericks to AppleSeed Members

Looks like the Mavs part of the appleseed site is down, they have an announcement that the download is temporarily unavailable.
 
i couldn't have been less excited about a release of a new OS.

block calls? useful for a phone but to me, not so much in my computer.

tabbed finder? nice but don't need.

full screen dual monitor? don't have two monitors.

safari improvements? ditched that in favour of chrome a while ago.

maps app? lol no thank you.


i'll be keeping ML which works great.

I agree, but I love tabs in Finder, but use TotalFinder. But there are a countless "under-the-hood" improvements that I am looking forward to.
 
Build Number

"DP 8 had a version number of 13A584, while today's release is build 13A598."

598-584= 14, or 2 weeks.

Does the Apple build number correspond to the days since development started?
598 days for maverick, or about 1year-6months?
Just curious to see if anyone has any insight into this.....
 
Maybe they are colours

Notice that the desktop picture for mavericks has various shades of green.

Like this (13a598):

For DP8 we have 13a584 which is this shade:

In DP1 we had 13a476:

ya that is what they tell you. they have to since there is very little else to show for it.


i am sceptical but who knows, this might be the next snow leopard. i will believe it once people get their hands on it and reviews start flowing in.

Wow, you mean your making judgments before you try the DP?

People (like me) have been using it for months and it's very clear there are noticeable performance and usability improvements. Have you been living under a rock?
 
I wonder if they fixed the finder issue in mountain lion

Snow Leopard was the best ever and still is.

i'm sorry if i'm not gagging in anticipation. what can i say, ML works fine for me, does everything i want it to do and i haven't seen or read anything about 10.9 that would make it worth my while, or my money.

I thought AppleSeed isn't the same as being a registered Mac developer. So no foregone conclusion that devs will get it.

True, but I thought Apple usually pushed out the same versions to both groups.

Not necessarily, but they've probably been sticking to daily build cycle leading up to the release.
