They must have, I am experiencing no issues
I still get several minimized blank "new message"s at the bottom of the Mail window with this new beta. If I dismiss them they come back every time I reopen mail. Annoying, so I reported it to Apple last beta.

They still have a lot of work to do on this one.

I have this problem with the current public beta. Drives me crazy.

I also get frequent “downloading 0 of 4” then “last updated now”. And no new mail for a while...
 
Now I am bit by the iCloud drive issues. None of my non-app folders show up and I am missing Pages and Numbers. Although, I did just move a ton of files out of iCloud, so it might be caught up in a sync issue.
 
Email seems to be working even better than beta 5 (which still had many problems fore me).

The thing where the split-view tab between windows on iPadOS randomly appears at the top of the window instead of the middle appears to still be occurring. I hypothesize this is because it assumes portrait orientation and doesn’t properly adjust (sometimes) to landscape.
 
I have been reporting bugs since beta one and neither did I get a response nor did they fix any of my reports :/
I reported a bug that broke my video playback in my security camera app since dev beta 2 and it is now working in dev beta 6.. can finally use the app again...
 
FYI for those still on WatchOS 5.3 using iOS13 betas.

One thing I’m still seeing in mail: i get a notification that email has arrived, see the unread mail count bubble on the icon go up, launch email a couple minutes later, and it only tries to load the email a few seconds after the app loads.
 
Yeah... I just noticed this in the release notes for beta 6. Not sure if this applies to new watches being paired or existing ones.
Glad yours is still working.
All the apps on the watch that have iOS counterparts (list apps, workout apps, etc) still communicate and the Apple Watch app still moves watch faces around instantly so ...

DB5 was definitely a little more flakey where some apps flat out wouldn’t update with new info from core data.

There is info about this in the release notes

That’s still better than good ol’ Apple Radar. For macOS reports they wouldn’t say anything for 2-3 months and after that they ask to run sysdiagnose for a UI thing with a 100% reproduction rate. I reported like 25 macOS Catalina issues so far and got one response where they said that some odd behaviour change was intended instead of a bug. Another 8 are fixed and all others are still open all without response.
 
I have one question to iPadOS 13.

If the build in Preview has the search feature (magnifier glass) to search for a word in big PDF files?
 
They fixed the notification messages having the new message appear under the keyboard so you couldn’t read it. Hallelujah!

Also, more importantly, watch battery drain seems to be fixed. Yes it’s still early but by now I wouldn’t already lost 2%. I’m still at 100% (I charged the Apple Watch while update iOS).

[EDIT]
An hour in and my series 4 is still at 100%. Yahoo!!
