I assume the new emoji, and why they seem to get advertised so heavily including on every post about every beta here on this forum, are the reason many people upgrade.
I would rather they simply made them available to download from the app store, as even for those who think it's fun to have new emoji, they can't actually send them to anyone right now not currently on the same beta level. I don't know why they can't be downloadable by those on iOS10 or Sierra. The only reason I can think of is that Apple see them as a major upgrade driver.
*human-sheep-hybrid-emoji* (coming in iOS12).

Nope, not kidding: WindowServer taking unholy amount of RAM in 10.13
This is a serious issue because resolution scaling is broken this way in 10.13.0
It is a massive upgrade driver - as it should be. Everyone benefits from being on the latest version of an OS.
You mean the release notes that come with the public beta?I believe you left out the part about the beta release notes being covered by NDA

On Sleep and Restart the resolution setting is lost - most notable when using 1080P.

Hm, developer beta 2, 14 hours uptime, 336 MiB memory usage. Might be fixed.
I also saw various graphics glitches in 10.13.0 that I haven't seen again so far. Knock on wood…

It's pedantry, but technically:
I didn't mention it here (but did to Apple via Feedback and crash reports) as it appeared to only be affecting me, but I was getting a kernel panic/reboot each time I tried to save an Apple Script, even minor edits on existing ones.
This latest beta has fixed that.

What's interesting is why so many people are against emoji's. They are quite possibly the easiest thing to include with a new release (ever). They take away probably 30 mins of someone's time at Apple, if that. the rest of the time they're clearly working on fixes and new features.
I am really only still waiting for the P2P Apple Pay, that stuff looks like some real Steve Jobs goodness.

I had this issue and by just editing one contact (just added a full stop in the note field) fixed it for all contacts. Maybe this will work for you also. But it would be nice if it just worked.
I use Alfred 3 and it seems fine to me mate
It would be amazing if bug has gone...FileVault enabled?
In my case it was iconserviceagent that hogged all available memory (RAM then all available SSD space swapped in) when viewing a folder containing a lot of files/folders with user-changed icons (I like to set cover arts for media files/folders). Tried everything from Apple Customer support standard recommendations, the issue is now escalated to Apple engineers.

Something is messed up on my machine. I saw the beta 2 downloaded it, then the machine rebooted and said beta 1 was available, then the supplemental update downloaded. When all is said and done my version # is 17A365 and NO updates are showing.
HELP???
HELP???
[doublepost=1507885425][/doublepost]"macOS High Sierra is a major update that introduces APFS" .... sure, but APFS is really a half-baked product.
Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming macOS High Sierra update to developers, a week and a half after releasing the first macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 beta and two weeks after releasing the new High Sierra operating system to the public.
The second macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 beta can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center or through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store with the proper profile installed.
macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 appears to focus on bug fixes, performance improvements, security enhancements, and other under-the-hood changes, but it also introduces a range of new Unicode 10 emoji like crazy face, pie, pretzel, t-rex, vampire, exploding head, face vomiting, shushing face, love you gesture, brain, scarf, zebra, giraffe, fortune cookie, pie, hedgehog, and more.
macOS High Sierra is a major update that introduces APFS, a new more modern file system, HEIF and HEVC photo and video encoding improvements for smaller file sizes without compromising quality, Metal 2, and several new features for Safari, like autoplay blocking for videos and Intelligent Tracking Prevention to better protect user privacy.
Update: Apple has also released the second beta of macOS 10.13.1 to public beta testers.

APFS might set the framework for the future, but as it shipped in High Sierra, it is not a complete file system. APFS does not work with TimeMachine, software RAID (bootable), Fusion drives or even rotational drives for that matter. Future updates will really need to focus on getting the file system correct and ironing out the (many) bugs.

APFS is a perfectly complete file system for SSDs, which make up the bulk of Apple's needs. As far as I can tell, it is highly reliable even with risky operations such as converting from HFS+ or resizing the container.
I wouldn't be surprised if bootable software RAID is not going to happen.
