When it is ready, of course. The development team wisely haven't set a "date certain," but will keep fixing bugs until it's complete, reliable, and safe for competition aerobatics.

Hello there Terrarians!
We hope that you have enjoyed your first month with Terraria 1.3. The team has been hard at work - with your help - finding and smashing bugs, and we hope that we will be able to get to any that remain over the coming weeks so that everyone has the awesome gaming experience we intended. We are releasing Terraria 1.3.0.7 today - which adds support for our Mac/Linux Beta. That said, you will still need to download new Dedicated Server Software by clicking the link below.
In parallel, as many of you know, a portion of the team - headed by @Skiphs - has been pursuing the development of Terraria for Mac & Linux. Our initial plan was to have this out during the month of July. However, as we have delved deeper into these ports - coupled with seeing how helpful the community can with finding issues/bugs - we have decided that we will conduct our first ever Open Beta around the Mac and Linux versions of Terraria!
Do note that this will not likely become our new "way" of primary testing. We figured this made a lot of sense given that there is no new content to hide (1.3 is already out), and there are simply more Mac and Linux players in our community than we could try to pull together ourselves. So, we call on you - our amazing fans - to help us finish these out!
What do you say? Are you up to the task? If you think so, read on....
IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE REMEMBER THAT BETA TESTING CAN AFFECT YOUR PLAYER AND WORLD FILES. Please manually back up all worlds and characters before participating in the Beta. While there are no known issues that would cause the loss of data, it's important to be prepared.

Try enabling and then disabling offline mode in Steam (from the Account submenu).
Nope, still doesn't work, and after some time Google-ing it seems I am the only one with this problem.
Just got it working. I opened big picture mode, and selected the beta from there, and it worked fine.
It added Mac/Linux functionality and intercompatibility between them and Windows.
I would look here: http://forums.terraria.org/index.ph...c-linux-open-beta-testing-feedback-group.690/
That is the Mac/Linux Beta Test Social Group. You have to join to post, but it is the best way to get an answer.

I Found a bug on the mac version, idk if it also is a bug on the linux but there are sound error and they won't play, like when i fight the moon lord, sometimes the sounds won't play like the music or its yelling sounds, its kinda akward so this is something i wanted to bring up to attention as it is in beta and this would need to be fixed as a final release for Mac/Linux.
