Why 11.2 is still not released?

11.2 is still in beta testing. It would not be good to release it sooner than it should be.
You can join the beta program if you want to get access to the beta releases.

It's the holidays slowing things down. The last developer release of 11.2 was December 16. Hoping there is another beta next week. I'm hoping a release will fix an external monitor flickering problem on my M1 MBP.
Yikes. The developers and testers can keep the kernel panics. I want no part of that merry-go-round.
That is interesting. I haven't had any issues with it on my M1, but I wouldn't call myself a power user either.
You are a brave tech soul. There is no way I would put beta software on my M1, especially after the fiasco that 11.0 - 11.01 brought us, not to mention all the unanswered shut downs that won't restart. And calling Apple right now isn't much help at all.
I didn't run into the 11.0 problem, but I read about it. I had my own wonderful experience just before Christmas. I purchased a base M1 MBA for my son for Christmas. I decided to try it out to see if I wanted to buy one for myself. It had issue with my external monitor flickering so I d/l the latest beta to see if that would fix the issue. When it came time to box it up to give to my son I decided to wipe it and go back to a non-beta. OMG, you don't even want to know how much of a PITA it was. Gone are the days of holding CMD-Option-R or Shift-CMD-Option-R and just downloading a non-beta. I had to download the configurator software on my wife's MBP and go through the process similar to the 11.0 issue to recover. I hope Apple fixes that in the future, because as of right now it's a hot mess.
What do you mean "slow down"? Why do you think it should already be out? It'll be out when it's ready.
I mean slowing down the software development process. One more new architecture to take care of, more time is needed comparing with only to deal with Intel based Mac.
