Apple showed off the next desktop operating system at the World Wide Developers Conference, with the biggest change is the shift of the naming, which till now was inspired by a variety of cats. This time around, it goes by the name OS X Mavericks. The new operating system will introduce more than 200 new features, including Maps and iBooks to the Mac, Finder Tags and Tabs, enhances multi-display support for power users, new technologies for better power efficiency and performance, and includes an all new version of Safari.
New core technologies in OS X Mavericks improve the energy efficiency for enhanced battery life. Timer Coalescing groups
together low-level operations so that the CPU can spend more time in a
low-power state. App Nap feature reduces the power consumed by apps that
may be in the background, or haven’t been accessed for a while.
Compressed Memory automatically compresses inactive data, to prevent
memory fill-up, and uncompresses them immediately when needed,
preventing memory fill up.
The updated Safari’s new process-per-tab architecture is designed to make the browser more responsive, stable and secure. Safari also adds features like Shared Links, which make it easy to discover, read and share interesting new content from Twitter and LinkedIn, all in one place.
OS X Mavericks introduces the Tags feature,
which makes document sorting and search easier. Users can easily tag
any file in the Finder, so much so that multiple tags can be given to
any file. This feature also extends to all files that you may have
stored in iCloud, or when saving a new document. Tags appear in the
Finder Sidebar to enable you to view files by project or category.
The Interactive Notifications
feature allows you to reply to a mail, iMessage or FaceTime call
immediately, without leaving the app that you may be using at that time.
The While You Were Away Notifications show up on the lock screen
itself, to show what all activity has happened while you were away from
the machine.
To reduce the clutter of multiple Finder windows, OS X Mavericks introduces the Finder Tabs
feature, allowing you to open multiple document locations within one
window. Moving files between the tabs is as simple as dragging and
dropping into the tab. Each tab can be customized for how it looks, and
the Finder with the tabs now also runs in the full screen mode.
The OS X Mavericks will be available for
download this fall, and will be available on the App Store. No
confirmation yet on which all machines will be compatible with the new
OS X.
