They don't release changelogs with betas.

Still no way to delete Recently Played Radio stations in Music. I've got a list going back more than a year and can't clean it up.

Grr!

Slow wake not fixed

Do they support playlists (for spoken word content) in iBooks?
This was one of the stupider consequences of moving spoken word material to iBooks --- you lose any sort of Playlist concept. That maybe makes sense if your mental model of spoken word content=one big audiobook file; but it's completely useless if you want to listen to, eg a set of lectures grabbed from various places on the internet and placed in a particular order by means of a playlist in iTunes...

I can't imagine what on earth is going on with 8.4.1. I can't remember two betas for a minor point release. This must have a major back end change that nobody's figured out quite yet.

Maybe iOS 9? Or is the ability to delete recently played radio stations too much for Apple? To be fair, I haven't found if there is a way to do that in Spotify either.

Slow wake not fixed

Seriously? What a f****** joke. Can any one confirm if all the home screen lag and stutter has been fixed. If you don't know what I'm talking about please don't respond with "never had that to begin with " those who know will get what I'm talking about.

I have iOS 9 beta 4 on a second iPhone 5S and no, cannot delete them there either.

I don't think so, iOS 9 doesn't even fix them so don't get your hopes on a x.x.1 update.

Get ready to post another tumbleweed picture...

I agree, there must be something going on. Jailbreak security flaws patching isn't a big deal to test with betas. At least it hasn't in the past.

Maybe something under the hood? The rumored "Rootless"?

To be fair, I have not experienced the slow wake in any of the iOS 9 betas thus far.

 

[Dephibio]

No changes with discoveryd have been made. It's still in use.

Rootless will be in iOS 9, not iOS 8.x.
OS X and iOS security updates are released together, so this could be a wait for 10.10.5 fixes.

I don't know about slow wake I don't have an Air 2 but he was talking about overall lags and stutters in the UI so I answered about that.

Any Apple Music bug fixes?

Any Apple Music bug fixes?

None that I'm aware of.

Anybody else lose all their pdfs stored in iBooks on their iPhone 6? I did and when my iPad Air 2 synced with it, all but one deleted too. Oddly, those (same as what was on the iOS devices) on my el cap Mac are still there.

To add insult to injury, after the mass extinction of my pdfs on iOS, I downloaded some more onto my iPad. These synced to my Mac, but not my iPhone, and eventually deleted themselves from my iPad.

Oh well, at least self resurrecting zombie shortcuts seem to be a thing of the past.

What about music being added to your library when adding an Apple Playlist?

Since Apple is supposed to be updating iTunes Match to allow 100,000 song libraries when iOS9 is released, shouldn't they be testing that feature?

Can't check this because I'm not using iCloud Music Library due to the all complications I've come across.
