Developers who didn’t get a chance to visit the Mac Dev Center this week should know that a new Mountain Lion beta is there for them.

Labeled as build 12F30, the new beta was seeded Wednesday afternoon (at around 1:00 pm PDT), and contains no known issues, while Apple enumerates the same focus areas as before: WiFi, Graphics, Wake from Sleep, PDF viewing and Accessibility, and Mobile Device Management.

The new build comes in at 290MB for the delta DMG, while the Combo updater is a hefty 852MB download. The update is immediately available from the Mac Dev Center.

Mountain Lion version 10.8.5 is at its seventh beta and there’s no sign that Apple plans to release the software to the public just yet. The Cupertino giant is actively developing the next-generation OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), as well as iOS 7, in parallel with Mountain Lion.
