I had the same issue as you with Bluetooth seemingly gone from System Preferences and showing as "not available" in the menu bar. A reboot randomly fixed the issue. I think it's just beta bugs.
Got a tip for us?

This update slowed my MBA and my iMac drastically.
The apps open slower, the system doesn't feel so snappy as before.
Maybe this is an effect of bug fixing

i don't actually think the improved game performance is related to Metal yet, but definitely something is going on for good on 10.11, playing WoW at max settings (except for shadows + 1920x1080) on an AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB, couldn't do the same with the same GPU and 10.10.
Again, incorrect!
The entire imaging model has been moved to Metal with a fallback to OpenGL for device which do not support Metal.
So even non OpenGL based apps will see improvements on some hardware!
Can someone point me to the site where there are direct downloads as my app store isn't working happy. Thanks!
1. Apple clearly stated in their security session from the beginning that nvram boot args command will be removed from El Cap, so rootless=0 was never going to be supported in the first place.
2. The only place to disable SIP is through RecoveryOS. But it looks like they might have added a new terminal command to handle SIP via terminal recently, it is now via `csrutil`. If you type `csrutil status` in terminal, you'll see the status of SIP. `csrutil disable` will disable SIP for you.
Weird. Could it be a temporary replacement for the boot argument so that developers don’t have to use the recovery system as long as the beta lasts? Using another Terminal command would defeat one of the purposes of SIP if programs can still prompt the user to change this and ask them to restart. Having this non-automatic connection to the off switch is what makes SIP so appealing as a security mechanism.
I don't know, but if this becomes an issue I can see a lot of power users won't bother upgrading. Personally, I really need system level access for a variety of reasons.
That’s not the point I was making. SIP can be completely switched off in the recovery system. Apple is committed to that possibility. But when a malicious program can still trick the user into giving it their root password and the that program switches off SIP and asks the user to restart, SIP is defeated. Apple specifically said that root cannot be trusted.
Metal is actually a huge addition to the OS.
Thanks.... my brother is a game developer as well. He's been working for Microsoft and (now) Disney Interactive. He's been in the business for about 25 years. He develops and tunes game engines. I trust his opinion on this one.
I'm sure there's stuff in other releases that you were excited about and others didn't care and questioned why it was being treated as a big release. Luckily, the world doesn't revolve around you....
Thanks for this, the status command for SIP is actually quite useful.

I don't see this update in the app store, and I can't install it from apple developer because the code has already been redeemed. I think installing the public preview messed up my enrollment for the app store. I tried re-installing the developer beta from june24 by option-clicking in the purchases, but its still not updating. Any ideas?
