New OS X Mavericks from Apple

Sea Lion? No, fortunately not. “Mavericks”. It is not about cats, no animal Involved, it is a place for surfers, according to Functional Showed. That the billboard in big wave, a good wave of functionality has Been Announced.

Ten are the latest announcements with greater emphasis. The Finder has been subjected to full-bodied touches, with the introduction of multiple cards and the use of tags to identify and track the files more easily. In the specific case of the Mavericks, the tags are virtual folders in which drag data most relevant to the category you created.

Another aspect on which much has been done relates to multiple displays. With Mavericks will be able to use individual app full screen on multiple monitors, also including the Apple TV through AirPlay. Mission Control has been optimized to facilitate the movement of app between a display and the other.

On a technical level, between the main improvements we report Timer Coalescing, which deals in automatic active processes to give priority to putting in the idle state, those relating to applications not in use. The consumption of resources in this mode can reach up to 70% depending in the case.

Timer Coalescing can operate in conjunction with App Nap, which intervenes when the instance of an app is superimposed upon the screen to another: in this case, App Nap reduces consumption of the inactive reducing the CPU usage. Compressed Memory optimizes memory consumption by compressing the inactive and freeing other for processes that require it. Also introduced support for OpenGL 4, together with other minor features.

Safari is another application that benefits from improvements. In addition to a revised JavaScript engine with performance, up to 3.8 times higher than Chrome with less resource consumption, has a rebuilt Top Sites page and a sidebar with quick access to Favorites, Reading List and links shared on social networks from our contacts. Safari 7 is also one of the main users of iCloud Keychain, which strives to preserve and synchronize data between multiple devices such as passwords, credit cards and Wi-Fi access automating these tasks for the user. The software is also able to suggest a secure password and save it for that service, all data is stored with AES-256 encryption.

Notifications have also been subject to changes in Mavericks. Now it is possible to respond quickly without the need to open the necessary application, such as for an e-mail message. All notifications received during standby Mac are then repeated in the unlock screen. Shown rapidly in the presentation is the ability of the Mac App Store automatically update applications.

Lastly, the entry of iMaps & iBooks within the kit applications desktop operating system. The first offers all the functionality provided by a version for iOS, adding the ability to plan routes to synchronize with the iPhone before starting the journey. With the SDK, developers will be able to interact with their apps with Maps. Even for iBooks, what has been seen on iOS is present in the new version for OS X, including the iBookstore.
