Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 5

Apple is pushing for everyone to enable file vault. Just notice that during the first login. Glad that they're suggesting to keep everyone their Mac secure
 
JUST FOUND: New download progress bar for Launchpad! Image attachment for those who wants to see.

Personally, I think it's far too low and it looks too dark (But probably to match up with the dots) and it's a bit too long, if they fix those issues, it will be better! 🙂

They dont provide change logs?

Any fixes for external monitor staying black when waking a macbook pro? Or the black webcam video issue? Or the external usb sound cards not usable after sleep?
 
Not sure I like the redesigned System Preferences; the "Show All" button just looks messy, kinda like it shouldn't be there. It also seems pretty vestigial, when you search you get a clear search button which fulfils the same purpose, which means the only time you need to show all is when you're actually in a preference panel, in which case a back-button seems more logical. Even better though would be a sidebar of some kind, so you can still get other preferences quickly.
 
The Finder's copy window has rounded corners again:

DP5 has new volume and brightness HUDs, and they look terrible!

EDIT: Added Dark Mode screenshot

They were always terrible. Ditch the big icon and move volume (at least volume!) to the bottom of the screen, in a compact row like TVs have done since the 1800s. Adjusting volume during a video shouldn't cover a huge chunk of your presentation and linger for several seconds.

EDIT: I guess they ARE lower now. It's a welcome change. Still too big! Make a compact volume row, please.
 
Any way to upgrade from Public Beta to either DP4 or DP5, with a valid developer license? I have DP1 downloaded still, but I'm assuming the OS wouldn't let me install that because it's a "previous version."
 
If I update to OS X Yosemite Dev 5 will I lose all the apps I have on Mavericks? Sorry, silly question!

Can't you download from the Dev Portal?

You can now show the full website url in Safari 😀

They do listen!

EDIT: damn ccard3dev beat me to it
 
Today tab in Notification Center still shows Tornado Watch for anyone living in outside the U.S (At least as far as I know) Counts for Weather tab too.

Yay! 😀
Would you be so kind to test, after you have some sites in your history, etc, if typing in the address box no longer lags (e.g. t<lag>h<lag>verge.com). It is easier to check when deleting, e.g., typing theverge.com/aaaaa and then continuosly pressing backspace and seeing if the therverge gets removed as quickly as the 'a's.

I'm hoping that all those bug reports that I submitted with screenshots and samples will at least be read 😛

have you looked outside? 😱

Haha yes, according to The Weather Channel's weather information, there are tornadoes here in Norway every day! I don't know if it counts for other places in Europe but as I switch my location to the United States, it shows the current weather conditions and so on. 🙁

I was a tornado icon on there the other day, and I was like "WTF?"

But apparently there was a tornado watch for my city.
 
Installed manually, didn't restart by itself, then I got this.😕
