I don't know about you, but I would rather see that box than suffering kernel panics with my new 2019 $4,500 iMac where Mojave and Windows 10 has no issues so it is not the hardware.
Got a tip for us?

I guess I should hold off then until .2 or .3 as nobody can confirm if the album art fails when storing music on a NAS drive in Music.
This really is a **** show.

Simple solution. Apple needs to stop making a big deal out of it and focus on the OS and fixing it. Until they do, we will keep torching them. This entire cycle of OS releases has been a mess. I just want email to work again.
I suggest Apple BURN this awful shoddy code and start again from scratch. I am absolutely fuming.
Yep, I couldn't give a toss about emojis. I'd prefer that OS updates focussed on more important things in updates than telling us that there are new emojis.
Wrong again. If you actually read the link, it would show you an example of a code change that was necessary, driven by a proposal by Apple
Basically, Emoji 12 had to have code to specifically ignore the order of skin tones of same-gender hand-holding people. Apple had the spec changed so that now order matters.
Its just odd that theyre not even 'supported' on Mojave. Its not even seemingly a hardware requirement but rather some piece of code in Catalina to make them work.
The "consortium" is two editors. One of whom is a Senior Software Engineer at Apple.
No, the Emoji Subcommittee votes and decides. The editors of a standard just help the process move along, they're equivalent to a speaker or chairman.
I liked it when Emoji wasn't a headline feature.
Yes, I agree there are many players involved. Several more from Apple as well. I think it's reasonable to state that Apple carries a non-insignificant influence over the development of 51.

All a matter of perspective. Don't ignore the couple of other groups in these threads looking for the build number, is the new Mac in there somewhere, and whatever other repetitive garbage. All those topics ignore real issues, specifically in the latest release. Things like deleted mail, eGPU driver issues, software compatibility, and so on.
By the way, can someone explain to me why knowing the build number in like post 5 is of any importance whatsoever? Happens every thread. Why would anyone need that information?
yes it is

one issue that I note that is still present is that my series 4 Apple Watch is still not unlocking; ill report back if it starts to work
Whoa!!! Is this a known issue with the watches not unlocking, or is this just happening to you?
I have my new Series 5, and I would be super annoyed to install Catalina (I am still on Mojave, but downloading Catalina 10.15.1 as I type this) and not be able to unlock my MacBook Pro with my AW!!!
Thanks in advance.
Still my two p a i r e d homepods shows up as two units.... let`s hope they included an homepod emoji
It consistently breaks after every system update. You have to go to Security in System Preferences, disable the feature, exit, go back in and reenable it. That always fixes it for me.
Appears to be running well for me on my MacBook Pro. Likely going to upgrade my iMac finally as well.
It's for people on the beta to know if they need to update or not. Ideally, the final beta release should be exactly the same as the public release, but that's not always the case.
It also is used to identify if any changes were made between public and developer betas. That is if somebody reports developer build 123 severely breaks something, and public beta is also 123, then people who the bug affects are likely to skip it.

Running pretty well so far. This alongside iOS 13.2 are the versions of the 2019 operating systems that should have been released in the first place.
