It mainly affects apps that look for files in certain locations and referencing it in case "insensitive" way (e.g., "/library/system/..." instead of "/Library/System/...").What I am wondering if that has a negative impact on older apps that still work e.g. Aperture.

Am I reading this wrong, APFS is (For now) a case sensitive filesystem.
What are people expecting from beta updates for the same version, something new in each beta? That's not really how that works.
Yeah, just using the OS and reporting bugs should be enough for a PB tester...I think a lot of "beta testers" aren't really testing anything. They just can't wait for updates so they pay the $100 a year to get new features 1st. Same with public beta testers. I'd be surprised if most even report bugs. They're in it for the yeehaa new features. The whole point of beta releases is to fix features, new or old. Not to add a new feature with every release.

"/Library/System/..." was merely an example. Many apps hardcode many file paths that are difficult for Apple to account for.If that happens, you could fix that with a soft-link (ln -s)
Yes, and yes! I have my home dir on apfs so all but the OS runs off it. Only app that doesn't work is Photoshop (with that I ditched Photoshop for affinity photo) when installing or copying apps I sometimes wait for the file transfer pop-up in vain; it's instant. More free space too, and copying large directories is megafast. I'm very, very impreaaed. I'm on a 2012 MBP with 3rd party SSD.Has anyone tried APFS yet? Is it any faster than previous file system?

I had some internet issues on the previous beta, hoping that'll be fixed now too.
I partitioned the single, 1 TB SSD in two partitions (200 GB for the suysten, 800 GB for the data partition),Would it be possible to list down the steps and challenges of migrating the Home Directory to AFPS? Is the setup done on single SSD or you've got 2 SSDs. Since I recall AFPS cannot boot MacOS currently. [Sorry for noob questions]
Can't wait for Nightshift Pro.
You don't have to install the beta. You also don't have to read this article either.

With Sierra 10.12.3, when I enter last in Terminal, every startup/shutdown has been logged as a crash. It's the same on both my Air and iMac. Is this a known issue? Has it been fixed in 10.12.4?

Converted one partition into an apfs partition. (handy guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/272741/how-to-format-a-drive-with-the-apfs-file-system-on-macos-sierra/ )
Copy over your home directory to the apfs partition, and change the location in advanced options under settings -> users -> you.
That's it. It could cost you your data though, so be careful.
Why wouldn't MacRumors post something about a new beta? It would make much less sense to almost no sense for them not to post about it.MacRumours doesn't have to post it.
