No, that would have been developed separately; there's no mention of any Mac Pros newer than the 5,1 (2010) model. Given that Mail was updated with this build it's likely a major bug was discovered and that this build fixes that.

Okay so we just get the new GM from the App Store and install it over the old GM and we're done upgrading to the new GM right?
I have a 2007 MacBook Pro running 10.8. It runs completely fine. There is no reason why it should run crappy on yours. Perhaps you never turn it off? Why not do a clean install?
Alright Apple, you win this round. I'll buy it from the app store when it comes out in a couple days. At least I've got the data backed up from my last 10.9 update.
So to update from the previous GM to this, just click on the DMG file? Or move the installer to Applications and run from there (That is what i needed to do with the GM)
This isn't recommended. You're probably leaving behind a whole lot of crud and broken code because you're using an unofficial, untested upgrade path. And I am sure this will degrade your Mavericks experience. Until Apple releases an official upgrade (they won't), you should absolutely be preparing to do a clean install and starting again.
You took a gamble Apple wouldn't release a fresh GM build before releasing to the public, and you lost. My advice is don't take shortcuts now and degrade your experience.
You mean the thousands of legitimate developers who installed 13A598, and who apple - according to your theory - would just looveeee to aggravate? Dont think its going to happen. Plus you can upgrade, many have done it already (including the "silly" people).

It's available now if you are already running 10.10.
How were developers who took up Apple's offer to obtain a GM verison of Mavericks taking a gamble exactly? How do you know Apple will abandon them and/or force them to install from scratch? How do you know that specific upgrade path will leave crud, when the same installer can upgrade any other verison of OSX down to 10.6.7 ?
Untill Apple releases specific notes to developers regarding the new build, I dont know how you can have any of this amazing insight, with the amount of certainty you seem to portray.
dumastetto has been wrong about everything itt so don't take his posts too seriously
I too am waiting for Apple to make an official announcement about the new build. It's weird to me that there's no mention of it on the developer portal...
So me updating from the app store over ML isn't a good idea when this comes out? Just wondering what everyone thinks
Developers would get it from apple the proper way. And it shouldn't be a problem for them to upgrade to 13A603.
But if you'd be silly enough to get it from a torrent instead, it won't show up in the Purchases tab, so you'd be stuck on 13A598.
The same download from the purchases tab is already available to those that torrented via torrents.
People should not download these silly things. The torrents could get corrupted.
Much better to get it from apple the proper way.
2008 MBP running Mavericks
I noticed performance improvements as well as memory and battery life improvements. Its not perfect but, as as an admitted ML hater, i like Mavericks.
I think its is the Mountain Lion we all wanted.
