I understand that updates to the public beta will be fewer, but you can't just not update it at all. C'mon.

They will, I would guess end of the week since the first public beta came a few days after a DP release.

The weather widget now syncs with custom locations you have on your iPhone

Keep getting this error message in Mail. my password is right, I can receive mail, just not send.

Any ideas?

P.S: Had this in DP5 too.

There's something to the menu's/icons that made them look better. (dark theme)

Finally found a Direct download link, not going to post it cause of MacRumors rules but I'm so happy i can have DP6 Now !

FYI, myself and a friend just both updated to DP6 and Parallels 9 no longer works. It crashes with error code 15381 upon opening. Just a heads up.

Don't worry, parallels will have a $49.99 patch to support Yosemite

Apple has also fixed the clipping save problem, where you drag a photo or text clipping to your desktop, and there was a massively long delay...

This was really a problem, and a huge bug I saw in previous versions of Yosemite.

I have been testing it out, and this "clipping drag-and-drop" bug seems to be fixed now, it saves instantly after you drag.

They have ALSO improved the translucency of menus, especially in dark mode, adding a blur effect behind the menu, and darkening the translucency. It looks MUCH better than the previous version.

Lucky. My search terms aren't yielding results as lucky as yours did.

Internal Sound Devices

DP6 seems to not have my internal sound devices -- either input or output -- as selectable choices.

New hard drive icons...

This was happening for me with DP5. I'm positive of it. Only noticed it the other day and was impressed with it that's why I remember it being there already.

 

[Patriot24]

Is the Handoff toggle present in DP6 for 2011 MacBook Airs?

It was removed... I downloaded it before they removed it.

I much prefer the new aesthetic of Yosemite and the new icons, but go ahead armchair designers lets hear how terrible the new HD icons are and how apple ruined Christmas for the children.

It was working for local but wasn't working for every city. I may be wrong but I've never seen it before

So they've totally removed all usefulness of Dashboard by blurring the background... brilliant.

 

[maflynn]

New hard drive icons...

Ugh, the lack of definition is a step back, not forward.
