They’re adding a bunch of new features and hundreds of thousands of lines of new code (to a stable codebase).
Hundreds, no thousands, of bugs are the result. That’s how software development works. Most of those bugs will be fixed by the time Mojave goes GM, and those fixes will create new bugs that will be fixed in later point releases.
It’s a never ending cycle, and there are always many bugs, known and unknown, remaining in a shipping OS.

Does anyone know if it fixes the Bootcamp partition creation error? I tried NVRAM, SMC, and hard resets as well as first aid on the disk and it always shoots back an error saying that the partition couldn't be created.
I'm waiting for the day when you can copy your location in the finder and then paste it in another finder window, or document etc.
This is simple as pie in Windows but Apple doesn't offer it.
During recording this make work flow a LOT easier and much faster.
No can do in Mac.

We don't rewrite OS' from the ground up with every release. We build on top of them. Sometimes rip entire sections out and rewrite.
I see your CS degree and raise you 30+ years experience.
Are you saying you had this issue before on Beta 1 and now after you installed Beta 2 you no longer get that error? If that is the case, I look forward to installing the beta later tonight.
You've got Mojave running on your iPhone.
Just kidding.
As for Mojave, it runs great on both my Macs, BUT.....
Install went well on my 2012 MacMini, but it hosed my 2012 MBP, the MBP had windows installed on a separate HD in My Mini, and had Filevault on, this happened to me with HS as well, didn't think of it anymore, should have switched off FV2.

exactly and not only that but I found Mojave DB1 to be the most stable beta 1 ever, maybe others users think different and that's ok but based on all the ones that I've tested before I came to this conclusion, but this is just my opinion. there are also a lot of things to considered and it comes down to what system is installed to, having an old system with mechanical drives will never be better or faster than installing on a newer system with an SSD or M.2 drive, maybe is not the software the cause of the problem and the problem is the buggy hardware, so I don't get why that user complaint and anyway it was DB1 JFC
I replied to you because I like your answer but I want to dedicate the next line to that user
do you know that many users consider the first version of a new Mac OS system buggy, unstable, not ready for prime time and that is the official release, well those users then have to wait for 10.14.5 o 10.14.6 probably around next year
end of line

Yeah looks like it still doesn’t support the MP 5,1, or at least they haven’t updated the full installer yet.
all betas have bugs, they will fix the previous bugs at the expense of bringing new bugs and we will continue that path for ever even with non beta releases.
Those are words coming from former Google and Microsoft Devs now professors. Unless they’re lying to us completely or have weird coding practices, that what I’m preparing for in the job market.
I always start over mostly fresh in every major update to my projects.
Hopefully I can use MS Office with this version -- first beta would not let me open any Office apps.
Perhaps you could give an example of an OS that has been coded from scratch since the last update. Even if you look at projects that are hundreds of times smaller, you will find that the code is usually built upon as time progresses, not scrapped and then rebuilt. There are always exceptions of course, but an entire OS is a gigantic software library, you’d have to wait 5 or more years between updates if they continually reinvented the wheel each update. Perhaps we’re crossing wires here, surely you can’t mean the entire OS.
MacOS/OS X is an evolution, it's built up year after year, if they had to start from scratch again it would take years to get to this point, not just one single year from the last major release.
TL/DR: It's not rewritten from the ground up.
Anyone else having some Dropbox mania with today's newest Beta? My smart sync options somehow reset to ALL, and getting endless notifications as each file syncs.
Didn't know that, interesting. After that Shift + Command + G in a new Finder window and your good... but quiet cumbersome compared to Windows.
