Apple on Monday shipped to developers the Golden Master version of OS X Mountain Lion, indicating that the final version of the OS, expected sometime this month, is imminent.
As reported by MacRumors, the Golden Master version is likely the final version of Mountain Lion before its official consumer release.
Apple released a developer review of Mac OS X Mountain Lion in February, and tipped a July final launch at last month's Worldwide Developer Conference.
Mountain Lion includes more than 200 new features, like iCloud integration, a silent updating option, dictation, and 1,700 new APIs. An upgrade will be available to Snow Leopard and Lion users for $19.99 in Apple's App Store.
Mountain Lion's predecessor, Lion, made its debut in June 2011.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
