Many of us ask ourselves this question ... after what seems to be the last version of the operating system for Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 released yesterday by those of Cupertino, will the following be the expected version of OS X 10.9 Mavericks?
According to what can be read by the comments circulating on the net and adding my modest personal opinion, this version of OS X 10.8.5 could be the latest version released by Apple for OS X Mountain Lion unless there is some unexpected mishap. Obviously, this is NOT said by Apple and if more updates are released for OS X Mountain Lion, it will be because it needs them (and they will be welcome) to leave it in perfect conditions of use for all those who do not want to update to Mavericks.
Many of us venture to say that the new version of OS X 10.9 Mavericks could arrive during the month of October, possibly at the end of the same, when the 'fever' of the new iPhone 5S and 5C presented on the 10th, going on sale on September 20 in some countries, has already passed a bit. Not to mention also the new iPad and the launch of the final version of iOS 7 on September 18 ... Cook already said that Apple was facing a fourth quarter full of news.
The latest Developer Preview for OS X Mavericks developers, is number 7, this was released on last September 5 and in it small details such as the new Walppapers were added, in addition to some effects for the Photo Booth application and finally an improvement for the Notification Center which allows sending messages.
This suggests that the final version and subsequent release of the new OS X Mavericks operating system can be really close and it is that few changes are receiving in its latest DP, if some improvements, but significant changes in terms of performance or problems, rather few.
