Apple on Thursday seeded an updated OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks beta to developers, noting that a few focus areas have been improved upon since the first build was sent out last week.
The most recent build 13B35 of the forthcoming maintenance update notes fixes for Gmail, SmartFolders and other bugs associated with the Mail app. People familiar with the release said Mail is sill a focus area for testing, as is Safari, Graphics Drivers and VoiceOver.
In addition to the Mail enhancements, the latest beta addresses a VoiceOver issue when the system reads emoji characters, improves compatibility with VPN servers in OS X Server and adds a function to periodically update Shared Links in Safari.
Apple issued a fix for Mavericks Mail earlier this month, as well as an iBooks for Mac update, though each was a standalone release and not part of a larger maintenance update.
Developers can download the latest OS X 10.9.1 beta via Apple Developer Center or Software Update.
Update: Apple also released Seed 2 of Safari 6.1.1 and Safari 7.0.1 with focus areas including general website compatibility, accessibility, viewing and annotating PDFs, login and password autofill, Web Inspector functionality and extensions.

And the Airport 7.7.2 update has hosed my 5GHz network with dual 802.11ac extremes.
Phew! Fixed. For some reason, the update enabled access control, with access denied by default!, on the nearest base station.

What beach balls? I've been running 10.9 Since Beta 4, runs silky smooth. Maybe you should stop taking your one (probably made up) problem and making it into something greater.
My grandma smoked two packs a day since she was 15, died at 98. By your standard that means it's perfectly safe to smoke and think you'll live a long happy life.

Everybody thinks their experience is typical. No one wants to admit they have no clue what’s going on. Reach out and blame somebody else is the solution?
Does someone knows if the bug where the keyboard layout wouldn't go back to the Japanese layout when switching the input language to Japanese from another language is fixed ? (for example you would switch to french, and so get the french keyboard layout, and when back in Japanese, the input would switch back to Japanese but the keyboard layout would still be the french keyboard layout, if you use a Japanese mac, once you'd use another keyboard layout you wouldn't be able to get back to the original layout of the computer..)
