Apple has just announced the official release of OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The surprise is that this version of the operating system comes completely free. The goal of the new operating system, as we have already mentioned, is to unify iOS and OS X with the addition of iBooks, Apple's Maps application (this is not necessarily a good thing), and other features.
Your Mac is joining the book club.
Now the books you’ve already downloaded to your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch will automatically appear in iBooks on your Mac. There are over 1.8 million books in the iBooks Store available for download with just a few clicks.
Now with a new destination. Your Mac.
Maps lets you use every pixel of your screen to explore new destinations and take full advantage of the power of your Mac. So zooming in and out is smooth and responsive. Text and details are crystal clear, making it a lot easier to read. In the new OS X Mavericks, Maps is integrated into Mail, Contacts, and Calendar, so whenever you see an address, you can see it in Maps.
Have a great day. And a great week, and a great month.
Calendar has a new look and powerful new features. Continuous scrolling makes weeks and months pass smoothly, so you can see the last half of one month and the first half of the next. It also shows you the location of events on a map, calculates the duration of a trip, and even displays the weather forecast.
Easy access to the sites you visit most and will want to return to.
Safari in OS X Mavericks has amazing performance and introduces new, revolutionary technologies. Innovative features make it easy to return to the sites you visit most, as well as discover new sites. In addition, Shared Links in the new Sidebar displays links posted by those you follow on Twitter and LinkedIn, so you can keep up with all the interesting content. Finally, with the new Nitro Tiered JIT and Fast Start technologies in Safari, the web pages you visit respond faster, while new energy-saving technologies prevent you from wasting power on web pages that are in the background.
Your passwords, stored, encrypted, and automatically entered.
Remembering all your passwords is a pain. But now iCloud Keychain remembers them for you. It stores your usernames and passwords for sites on your approved devices, protects them with strong AES 256-bit encryption, and keeps them up to date across all your devices.
Do more on this screen. And on the other.
OS X Mavericks takes full advantage of every screen connected to your Mac, giving you more flexibility to work however you want. There’s no longer a primary or secondary screen, and each has its own menu bar, while the Dock is available on any screen you’re working on.
Know at a glance. Act with a click.
Notification Center lets you see what’s happening, and now you can do things without leaving the app you’re in, like replying to a message, making a FaceTime video call, or dismissing an email right from the notification. Plus, you can subscribe to your favorite websites to get news, sports scores, auction alerts, and more, even when Safari isn’t running. And if you’re away from your Mac, you’ll find a summary of all the notifications you missed when you get back.
One window. Multiple tabs.
Finder Tabs helps you declutter your Mac desktop by merging multiple Finder windows into one. So you can keep one tab for your Documents, one for Airdrop, and one for “Back to My Mac,” all in a single Finder window.
Wherever you keep your files, keep them together.
Tags is a powerful new way to organize and find your files, even documents stored in iCloud. Simply tag files you want to organize together with a keyword, like “Important.” Then you can find those files with a single click on “Important” in the Finder sidebar or by entering it in the Find field. Tag a file once, or tag it multiple times if you want to assign it to multiple projects. And if you have files stored in multiple iCloud libraries, tags let you organize them all together in different projects. So if you’re organizing an event, tag the guest list you saved in Numbers, the flyer you designed in Pages, and the presentation you created in Keynote, and see them all with one click, organized into a project, in a single Finder window.
The most powerful OS X is also the most energy-efficient.
With OS X Mavericks, your Mac works smarter. Energy-saving technologies help you get more out of your battery, and performance-enhancing technology makes it faster and more responsive.
More control. More collaboration.OS X Server includes a number of innovations that help both those who use your network and those who manage it. New features in Xcode Server make it much easier for a team of developers, whether for Mac or iOS, to create powerful, reliable applications.
