Apple Seeds New 13A598 Build of Mavericks to AppleSeed Members
Apple has seeded a new release of OS X Mavericks to members of the AppleSeed beta testing program, a little more than two weeks after the release of the eighth Developer Preview. DP 8 had a version number of 13A584, while today's release is build 13A598.
Separately, 9to5Mac reports that this build may be a GM candidate, according to AppleSeed members, while other sources have said the final release build will be several versions newer. The OS was reportedly nearly ready for release a few weeks ago, but was pushed back because of "critical bugs".
Apple is reportedly targeting a late October launch for OS X Mavericks.

Since being announced at WWDC, OS X Mavericks is said to have picked up a few minor unannounced features. Namely, the Messages and FaceTime applications have received the ability to block phone numbers and Apple IDs from sending the Mavericks user messages and/or FaceTime calls. This addition brings parity to iOS 7 and the two operating systems will sync in this manner.OS X Mavericks, which is expected to be released this fall, includes multiple new features like a tabbed Finder, full screen dual monitor capabilities, Safari improvements, and a new Maps app.

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'm glad OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is still getting attention. I think I'll wait a few months for any initial bugs to be ironed out and then upgrade to OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Does this version include a finalised GUI for Notes and Game Center yet? Also I think maybe Contacts was due for revision too..
I imagine that Mavericks is really just a stop-gap for the time being, with regards to U.I design. It's inevitable that Apple will release an iOS 7 inspired successor next year, and providing the changes are carefully tuned, then I for one can't wait.

I wonder if they fixed the finder issue in mountain lion

Snow Leopard was the best ever and still is.

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.

You have to admit 10.9 has shaped out to be an overdue focus on power and stability.
- OpenGL 4.0+ Support (Finally!) - most likely due to the AMD FirePro graphics in the new Mac Pro pushing OpenGL dependency
- Multiple Displays - Always used at least 2 with my Mac Pro, we (editors, designer, professionals) have needed this addressed for a while (GREAT to have the Dock appear on the active display and the MenuBar across all)
- Improved Memory Management
- Wireless Protocol(s) Improvement(s)
- Better Enterprise Support (and other accounts)
- iCloud Features:
- Keychain Syncing returns(ed)
- Document "DropBox" syncing seems on the horizon once everything is released
- Photosharing and Streaming improvements
- iWork for iCloud revamped for cross platform support
- Maps - Send directions in OS X via email/MMS to friends/family on the road
- Time Machine - Improved data purging, addressing occasional "backup disk full" errors
There's quite a bit more.I would consider 10.9 to be the "Snow Leopard" for both 10.7 and 10.8. Now just combine FaceTime and Messages into one app, and bring back the 10.5 Leopard beta iChat "Answering Machine" feature into Messages for video away messages (and a new Mac Pro) :)
