Apple on Thursday issued the eighth beta of OS X 10.8.3, the forthcoming maintenance update for Mountain Lion, with minor changes made to Wi-Fi assets
The latest pre-release build, designated as "12D58," was seeded to developers just over a week after Apple sent out the previous beta of OS X Mountain Lion. Any changes that may have been made to the software from its previous release are unknown.
As with earlier releases, the latest 12D58 build asks developers to focus their energies toward testing AirPlay, AirPort, Game Center, Graphics Drivers, and Safari.
Since December, developers have been able to receive update notifications through Software Update and download beta builds directly from the Mac App Store by using the new "OS X Software Update Seed Configuration Utility."

I'm not sure where the problem resides but I can't send a hyperlink from iMessage and have it show up as a clickable link on iDevices. It just shows up as plaintext of the link's title.
Christ on a stick, an 8th beta now? Come on Cook, shit or get off the pot already. How many betas of iOS 6.1 and 10.8.3 are you going to dangle about until both go GM? This is getting ridiculous.

Hasn't this always been the case? I don't know what's up with iMessage lately, but half of what I write for the last week and a half end up being sent as text messages.
Any reports on Core Graphics being optimized (again)? Mountain Lion brought down Core Graphics significantly.. especially for me on retina Macbook Pro. Kinda missing the days of Snow Leopard - the first operating system by Apple that was launched with "optimization" as a key feature. It should always be a key feature if you ask me.

Only makes sense if it's the last Mountain Lion before the next big cat.
