Apple seeds second OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks beta to developers

Apple on Thursday seeded to developers a second build of the upcoming OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks maintenance update.

The latest seed, build 13C39, comes just under one month after the first OS X 10.9.2 beta was released to developers in December.

As noted by reader Gregg, Apple once again asks developers to focus on Mail. The built-in OS X Mail app has run into a number of issues since the latest version launched with Mavericks last October. Users have complained of Gmail compatibility as well as inconsistent performance from Smart Mailboxes.

The most recent OS X 10.9.1 update was meant to address issues with Mail, though many users are still seeing problems.

In addition to Mail, Apple asks developers to focus on Messages, virtual private network features, graphics drivers and VoiceOver.

Developers can download OS X 10.9.2 beta build 13C39 via Software Update or through Apple's developer portal.

My mail often seizes up and refuses to send or receive... I have to force quit it to revive it. It first went haywire when my mobile-me (iCloud) was full... so I deleted a lot of stuff, but it never seemed to work after that. However, that was coincident with Mavericks going live... so.... I dunno. I have to say, Apple is getting less and less like Apple...

I have a similar problem too where my Mail app would freeze after waking the computer up from sleep. Forcing a Quit is the only way of bringing it back to life.

I’d be a little bit more okay with the complete inability to edit metadata if iBooks would just manage its content like, oh, EVERY SINGLE OTHER APPLICATION THAT APPLE MAKES.
