"uname -a" might give an idea when this build was built. Typically they will build a period in advance so that their QA can do some regression testing. So there's a window for alignment in terms of the scheduling.
Got a tip for us?

I'm half considering taking a year behind the loop from now one. Get last year's fully patched OS and not have to deal with bugs at all.
Same kernel as 10.11.2.
Edit: D'oh, looks like the update didn't install that time. Installed again and it's a new kernel built Dec 10.

I have given up on preview. It is such a mess.
I suggest you give PDF Expert a try. It is very fluid and has no memory leak issues. It is $20 on App Store but you can get 1 week trial from their website.
So much for that. They must build the kernel independently and pick up user land from another build.
Then people should start saying: "I am not installing until the new OS had six months worth of updates"

I updated to 10.11 when it came out, wiped all my mail. After hrs & hrs on the phone to Applecare unable to resolve & approx 24hrs restoring to Yosemite, Apple's response was to wait for update, 10.11.1 came out, still stories of missing emails on support forums as there is with 10.11.2, & yes been through the v3 mailbox, so yes 6mths before I update, prob longer if I'm honest.

My airdrop works perfectly. You have a problem with your computer, probably hardware related. Go see an apple genius, or just save some time and get a new computer.
From my experience, the last "stable" OS X version is 10.9.5. 10.10.x was a mess pretty much all the way through, and 10.10.5 seemed more like "Oh thank heaven WWDC has arrived and 10.11 was announced. We give up."
At least 10.9.5's bugs are pretty well documented by now.
Don't want to jinx it, but seems this fixed the USB issue I had on my 2008 MacBook Pro in which the trackpad/keyboard would go unresponsive for a second and the kernel would print "IOUSBHIDDriver(AppleUSBTCButtons)::RearmInterruptRead returning error 0xe00002d8 (device is not ready), not issuing any reads to device" to the log. Knock on wood.
EDIT: Nope, I did jinx it, it still happens! Lots of new debug messages, though. They're working on it!

Don't upgrade.
My 4K display used to turn on after sleep/wake after I unplugged/plugged it into a different port. Now it simply doesn't work at all.
Yes.
Past versions were fairly stable at .3, so when this one is released I'll probably install it ... if it makes my Mac Pro perform better than it has since it was new in 2008.
Uhhh....and nobody wonders why the last year were getting security fixes, bug fixes and updates MORE then we ever had in windows? :-D
I use it all the time on my iPad and plan to get the OS X version. I just found out it existed like one week ago!
You guys, as typical MR users, are incredible... If Apple don't release updates they are lazy, if they release frequent updates they are like Microsoft...
Haters gonna hate, no matter what....
It run fine on my previously owned late 2011. Much better than Yosemite or Mavericks
By the way it is interesting to see how iOS and OS X are walking side by side lately. Release and most of the betas on the same day.

I would love to see the office that bug reports go to.
I was once enrolling in a community college and had a transcript faxed over to the college. They claimed they couldn't find it so I went in person to deliver another copy.
I got there and the office was dead in spirit. A room full of people literally eating off of plates at their desks, like it was an all day buffet and not a workplace. I happened to see my transcript under a plate of one of the people working there and pointed it out to them.
Sometimes I imagine that's what the office that receives bug reports is like.

10.10.5, sadly...
Yes.
Just got excited, then checked... Elements still requires 10.10. In 10.11.0 and 10.11.2 I can start it but no sound comes out, no matter what I do. In 10.11.1 it would crash on startup. So Apple are obviously doing something, whatever it is.
I can agree with this, for since the cycle is now every year, it takes about a year to iron out most of the bugs to make it reliable. OS X El Capitan seems to be a good OS X if it works, so I guess we will have to wait about a year...BUT...then another OS X comes out and temps us to suffer for the year with the updates and then another cycle...on and on...until...we get some sense and say, "enough".
