[TheBuffather]

Completely broke the Mail app for me.

I still don't see the DP3

US Central Time. I've launched App Store, and says "no updates available"

The blue spinning beachball has been around for a long time.

The blue spinning beachball makes me feel even worse than the rainbow spinning beachball, I used to see the first one a whole lot more

30 years of the smiling Mac icon says otherwise. Especially if they are trying to attract enterprise customers... the smile needs to be more... subtle. What's what word I'm looking for here?

more discreet?

is this a joke?

First the Pedo Bear and now the Pedo Finder.

That is one creepy smile.

 

[mortenfrool]

No updates in Norway either.

 

[Patriot24]

The lack of Handoff support on 2011 MacBook Airs is hurting my heart.

 

[Moshe1010]

Looks like the updates are rolled out based on region/something else.
CA, USA here and no updates.

plugged in and fully charged? thats the new icon i am getting when its fully charged and plugged in but for some reason the flash screams ERROR to me. irritating

My mistake. I thought this was supposed to be the new charging icon.

DP8 = build 14A361c

Mine shows: OS X 10.10 (14A329r)
Was trying to download the PB3...

Man I miss the rainbow spinning ball.

 

[BlendedFrog]

Grrr, it's looking like it's not going to be supported :-( which kinda sucks!

This sucks...I really want my 2011 mba for work to support this.

 

[Dephibio]

Um, the extensions in Safari are not working, I'm not even able to turn them on. Anyone else?

 

[teslo]

this is all pretty exciting tbh.. the screenshots piling in look tasty. i'm a big fan of the new UI

They are working for me.

Pb3 seems to be working perfectly. Except for the battery indicator which is ugly and distracting

For those wondering about SMS relay...

From the DP 8 release notes.

SMS Note

- SMS Continuity is not currently available for testing. It will be available in October via a free update to iOS 8.

Also, for those who are using FileVault...

Installation Known Issue

- Users with automatic installation of updates enabled will not be automatically logged in after reboot from installing Developer Preview 8. If FileVault is enabled, the system will shut down if the user does not log in shortly after reboot.

The whole system is faster now, not just Safari, I am on a Macbook Pro, 256 SSD and 8GB of ram, seriously.

DP8 installed, was 948mb on my 2010 MacBook.

Lightning fast and feels much smoother than DP7. Just hoping Preview and Quicktime are fixed, kept getting a weird bug where they'd eventually not open but wouldn't force quit either and prevented a shut down.

Not sure I care for the new battery icon very much.

[kiwiboi87]

still not showing up for me,
and I'm running the public beta

 

[jehrler]

Did they finally fix the Top Sites button in Safari so it is white like all the other buttons, rather than gray?

 

[pubdown]

Not show PB3 update for met yet

I'm thinking they may add it when they turn on the SMS and MMS in October. Apple did say the Mid 2011 MBA would support it.

Same here!
