New Features​

  • Added improvements to audio quality for web video conferencing.
  • Added support for a subset of the AudioSession Web API.
  • Added support for AVCapture virtual cameras.
  • Added support for inbound rtp trackIdentifier stat field.
  • Added support for the AV1 codec in the MediaCapabilities API.
  • Added support for video stats overlay with developer tools enabled.
  • Added support for VTT-based extended audio descriptions.
  • Added support to allow a site to provide an “alternate” URL to be used during AirPlay.
  • Added video-only support for Web Codecs.
  • Added WebRTC support for hardware AV1 decoding on supported device configurations.
If you look at Develop menu I see these unchecked
WebCodecs AV1 codec
WebRTC AV1 codec
WebRTC H256 codec
WebRTC VP9 profile 2 codec

Of course don't expect to get AV1 working instead of VP9 in Youtube yet.

Has this update finally resolved the issue with WindowServer memory leaks? I use an external monitor and within an 8 hour period WindowServer would be using something ridiculous like 33gb of ram.

I'm really tired of upgrading to Ventura only to have to downgrade back to Monterey.

This issue is also in Monterey…

It’s kinda the new norm at this point.
 
I just hope mail is a lot more reliable in 13.3, have been having multiple issues with it in past versions.

How are you defining that? Mail quitting unexpectedly? Problem with some mail servers for authentication or sync? It's been awhile since I seen issue with Mail using AS Macs. I use both IMAP and POP on separate AS Macs. I don't use mail setup with multiple mail providers.
 
Anyone seeing the SOCD watchdog timer reboots problem still with the beta (or has it been fixed)?

Mail takes a while at least for me to open, and I often get the Beachball when opening it.

Strange, I don't have that issue on Monterey. I can connect a 2nd monitor and I'll still only get RAM usage of like 1.3GB after several days of usage.
