Apple has released a new build of OS X 10.9 Mavericks. In the latest release includes new core technologies that represent a breakthrough in the field of energy efficiency and responsiveness.OS X Mavericks contains over 200 new features, including Maps, and iBooks, which will now also on a Mac, tags and tabs within the Finder, improved support for working with multiple displays, as well as entirely new version of Safari.
A lot of attention in the OS X Mavericks was given the new technology at the core for maximum energy efficiency, extend battery life on a single charge, and performance.
Starting with Mac OS X 10.0 operating system versions were named after big cats. Starting with this release, Apple decided to call their OS X after the place where the products are developed Apple, California. So the new version of the system called the beach "Mavericks".
New in OS X 10.9 Mavericks:
- OS X Mavericks opens a new chapter in the history of iBooks. Now the books that you have already downloaded to your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, will automatically appear in iBooks on the Mac.
- Now on your screen the whole world. Maps application uses each pixel monitor, so you can discover unknown places, and takes full advantage of the graphics system of your Mac. Scaling is incredibly smoothly and quickly.
- In calendar now updated interface and powerful new features. Continuous scrolling provides a smooth transition between the weeks and months: you can watch the second half of one month and the first half of the next.
- Safari in OS X Mavericks - it's a great performance and latest technology. Innovative features allow you to easily return to sites you visit often, and to discover new online resources.
- Sometimes it is very difficult to remember all the necessary passwords. Now, this work takes on iCloud Keychain. This feature stores your logins and passwords for Web sites on your approved devices, protecting them with a strong 256-bit AES encryption and support their relevance to each of the devices.
- Multiple screens. OS X Mavericks fully engages each monitor connected to your Mac, for more efficient and convenient operation. No longer the primary and secondary monitor - each of them has its own menu bar, and works on any screen in the Dock.
- Notice. Notifications tell you everything that happens, and now allow to solve various tasks without leaving the application in which you are working. In OS X Mavericks you can interact with the notification - for example, respond to the message, take a video FaceTime or delete email directly from the notification.
- Tabs Finder. Tabs Finder help you bring order to your desktop by combining multiple Finder windows into one. You can create a tab for documents tab for AirDrop and tab for the function "Access to my computer Mac» - all in one window Finder.
- Tags - a powerful new way to organize and search for files, including documents stored in iCloud. Tags mark the files you want to group together - for example, "Important." When you need to find these files, simply click the "Important" in the Finder sidebar, or enter this tag in the search box.
- Advanced technology. High performance and long battery operation - two features of Mac, which is very appreciated by our users. In OS X Mavericks we went even further. We have reviewed all of the levels of the operating system - from the platform to the applications to achieve energy savings while increasing the speed of response. Here are just some of the innovations that optimize the performance of your Mac and increase its efficiency.
- Timer Coalescing. The challenge is intellectual grouping several small low-level operations for the joint execution. As a result, the processor often occur during periods of inactivity in which it can go into low power mode and save battery power. In some cases, CPU activity is reduced by 72%, which is very important for laptops. While Apple promises that the performance and responsiveness of the system does not affect the technology.
- App Nap saves energy in the mode with multiple applications. So, OS X detects when the window is completely blocked from view of other windows user. And if such an application window does not perform some work for the user (playing music, downloading files, checking e-mail and so on), then App Nap minimizes resources allocated to the program. When the user returns to this screen OS instantly brings full functionality of the application. The technology works in a similar tabbed Safari, which also only visible on all pages work force. Thanks App Nap CPU usage can be reduced by up to 23%. By the way, in the Safari browser also appeared Technology Power Saver, which analyzes the content displayed on the screen and reduces the load on those elements which are not visible. In addition, resource intensive content like Flash-animation does can stop, so that the user manually runs it.
- Compressed Memory allows you to increase your computer's speed. When running multiple applications RAM can fill, because of what the system will become noticeably less responsive.Now when filling RAM OS X Mavericks automatically compress inactive data, freeing up significant amounts for current tasks. Once compressed memory elements are needed, OS decompresses them quickly. Because of this, in some cases, the system becomes 1.4-1.5 times more responsive.
- Safari Power Saver - unbeknownst to you. Battery too. Many websites display animations using energy-intensive plug-ins that may unduly battery power. OS X Mavericks solves this problem.New Safari Power Saver feature detects when you pay attention to the content, and when not.Animation in the center of the page are reproduced as usual. But if they are in the background, Safari Power Saver function suspends them. You will see a still picture and animation will not play until you click on it. Thus, uninteresting content for you will not spend your battery charge.With Safari Power Saver function processor consumes up to 35% less energy when viewing websites with plugins.
- Compressed memory. Mac becomes much more quickly. Place released. The more memory is available to Mac, the faster it works. But if you have several applications open at the same time, Mac uses more memory. In OS X Mavericks implemented data compression technology in the memory, which releases Mac memory as needed. When Mac finishes available memory, OS X automatically compresses data inactive applications, releasing part of memory.
