Apple's yearly developer conference should see iOS 8, OS X 10.10, and likely some hardware.
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.

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'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.

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.
