The iCloud Music Library issues I was having with Beta 1 seems to have been fixed.

Just curious if this was included in the initial post due to there being Memory Leak issues with this release? Or is this just a general FYI for anyone?

Its just a general FYI, since memory leak appears to happen to someone on any release, and restarting generally fixes it.

Ahhh, gotcha. I actually jumped on to the beta to see if this fixed the memory leaks I was getting on the regular release 😛

Anyone experiencing delays post login? I enter my password and it takes 30-45 seconds for the desktop to show up.

Thought 13.5 final would have dropped by now.. maybe waiting on 16.5.1
