No issues with either GarageBand 6.0.5 and a few plug-ins for GB 6 or the few dozen Abobe CS utilities that run in the background.
[doublepost=1531089691][/doublepost]I am getting the exact same thing kernel panics also.
I sure hope so. Mojave will be the final macOS upgrade I get on my 2012 iMac. I’d be happy to have a fast and stable OS on it and freeze it in time for a few more years until I pick up an iMac Pro (once they polish it up over a couple of iterations). Right now, High Sierra is a mindfield of crashes. I sooooo miss Snow Leopard.
Most of the public beta testers aren't seeing things so rosy. Mojave is currently far, far behind Snow Leopard in terms of stability. High Sierra was much more stable early on.
I used to think 2.7GB was actually a lot of data. Then I met an 80TB array. I no longer think 2.7GB is a lot of data. The pain...
anyone tried installing Mojave on a 2009 Mac Pro with an update gfx card? Does it install? If so, does it work?
Yes, DP3/PB2 installs and works nicely with GTX680. Nothing lagging but not yet 10.13.5 levels of speed.
I have been doing the beta testing in the past but I will wait until the official roll out. Not worth the minor annoyances especially since 1 hour after downloading each new operating system I am bored and ready for the next release.
Wow. Those iOS-ported apps are both utterly unusable. I can't believe how poorly the News and Stock apps function.
Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming macOS Mojave update to its public beta testing group, one week after seeding the first macOS Mojave public beta. Today's second public beta is the same as the third developer beta, released earlier this week.
Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program will be able to download the macOS Mojave beta through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store. Subsequent betas are installed in a different way, using the Software Update icon in System Preferences.
Those who want to be a part of Apple's beta testing program can sign up to participate through the beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas.
Potential beta testers should make a full Time Machine backup before installing macOS Mojave, and it should not be installed on a primary machine because betas are unstable and often have many bugs.
macOS Mojave's main new feature is a systemwide Dark Mode, which gives Mac users a new way to view the operating system. A revamped Mac App Store makes it easier than ever to discover great apps, while Dynamic Desktops give you wallpapers that subtly change throughout the day.
An improved Finder window with Gallery View, Sidebar, Quick Look, and Quick Actions makes it easier to manipulate, edit, and organize your files, while Desktop Stacks organizes all of the files on your desktop.
The Apple News, Stocks, Home, and Voice Memos apps have made their way to the Mac in Mojave, and for the first time, you can use Siri on Mac to control HomeKit products. Group FaceTime, an iOS 12 feature, is also available in Mojave and lets you chat with up to 32 people at one time.
Apple is keeping your data safer than ever with new security and privacy improvements, and Safari in macOS Mojave makes it much easier to track you through share/like buttons and via your system configuration.
macOS Mojave is compatible with 2015 and newer MacBooks, 2012 and newer MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac models, the 2017 iMac Pro, and Mac Pro models from late 2013 and mid-2010 and mid-2012 models with Metal-capable GPUs.
Mojave will be available in a beta capacity for the next several months so Apple can work out bugs ahead of a fall release.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to read things in an app you can't scroll in. And it's a jarring thing to have broken.
Didn't realize the security code auto-fill feature was present in macOS too, I thought it was iOS specific. Just had to get a PIN from Lyft to login and in Safari it offered to fill the code in for me once I got the text. Awesome!
WiFi calling doesn't work in this release, but I have a vague recollection that it was disabled in most macOS betas anyway.

I don't suppose mac mail has a "group messages by sender" feature does it? Would really love to see that.
WHY IN THE WORLD does Mojave not batch notifications together in Notification Center by type/app as iOS 12 does?! Ugh!!!
