Apple Seeds Sixth Public Beta of macOS 13 Ventura

[Realityck]

Does anyone know when the final release will be approximately?

With every beta release I do a comparison of the Safari version, System FW for M1 Macs, and Darwin Kernel. Example here and here.

This last beta 8 showed that all those revisions are still changing so the MacOS is not close to a RC yet.

It's something more fundamental broken in Mail.app on Ventura PB 6. If you drag an image attachment, for example, to a Finder folder, it drags some corrupt file with the extension .inet or something similar. Eventually it works after a few tries. This was working in earlier betas and, of course, every other past OS.

I feel like Apple has some people randomly punching keys to code at their company lately. It's very frustrating that both hiring quality software engineers and having proper quality control have simultaneously taken a nosedive. I realize this is Beta, but it's unacceptable to be breaking old functionality at this point in the beta cycle.

Wishing for OSX Snow Leopard.

Me too. They've been progressively worsening mail, tiny bit by bit, ever since. Or maybe it was since Mountain Lion. Either way, it's been a long crappy road.

That said, I have to admit that this bug, unlike others I've seen (and a few of which I've posted here), has not recurred. It might have been related to mdworkers or other stuff running after install which, once done, isn't a problem anymore.

Even if so, it's ugly as ****.
