Apple is planning to release a publicly available beta of the upcoming OS X Yosemite later this month, according to sources briefed on the plans. This release will mark the first time Apple has released a public beta of a new OS X version in over a decade.

In addition to iOS 7.1.2, Apple today released OS X version 10.9.4 for all Macs running Mavericks. While 10.9.3 was a relatively large update that improved 4K display support on several Macs and restored local contact and calendar syncing, 10.9.4 is only a few hundred megabytes and focuses on smaller problems.
OS X Yosemite First Impressions: Apple's Biggest Desktop Move In Years

The brand new OS X Yosemite is perhaps the most dramatic redesign of Apple's operating system to date. After some time using the biggest features in the new OS in a developer preview, I think Apple's on to something.
At this stage in the game, it's not fair or appropriate to give the new (very beta!) version of OS X a real evaluation. Some of the features aren't fully-formed, while others—ahem, iCloud Drive—seem barely present at all, at least not in the final form we were expecting.

Improving the State of 4K Display Support Under OS X
Submitted by l33tdawg on Fri, 2014-03-14 00:12
In my Mac Pro review I lamented the state of 4K display support under OS X 10.9.0. In my conclusion I wrote: "4K display compatibility under OS X is still a bit like the wild west at this point". Compatibility was pretty much only guaranteed with the ASUS/Sharp 4K displays if you cared about having a refresh rate higher than 30Hz. Even if you had the right monitor, the only really usable resolution was 3840 x 2160 - which ends up making text and UI elements a bit too small for some users.
