Difference between Public Beta & Developer Betas?

[rojh]

I am currently on El Capitan Dev Beta 3, (the lastest) but today Public Beta 1 is available should I download it and replace my Dev Beta 3? Thanks! I dont know the difference.

They're pretty much exactly the same, except the Public Betas don't get updated as often.

So, should I stay with the Dev Betas? Ill cancel my public beta downlod if thats the case.

If you want more frequent beta releases, yes.

I will stay with DPs - makes things more thrilling and I have 2 stable macs besides the MB Air.

However - I do remember in the past when they rolled back features from DPs to PB if I am not mistaken.
PBs are going to be 2 or 3 - DPs will be much more.

i was using DP3 then i installed public beta. now app store shows an update: DP3.

Someone's posted that PB1 doesn't have the individual speaker controls on Safari tabs. If that's not just a problem for them(*), then it means at least one feature isn't in the PB so it could be worth (i.e. more fun) to stick with the Dev betas 🙂

There's a beta supplemental update which has just hit the app store; make sure you're not getting confused with that.

* Edited to add: Seems like an individual problem, according to the post below. Umm, well, one difference is that DB3 is version 15A216g ...

right now the DP B3 build is slightly higher/newer than public beta. I wouldn't be surprised if they sync up going forward with the next update.

it seems both got the update today that fixes 32bit stuff too.
