Apple releases fourth developer beta of OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Apple has just begun seeding a new prerelease build of the latest update to its desktop operating system.
As reported by 9to5Mac, the company has released a new beta version of OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, identified with the build number 14C94b.
Not counting the one public beta released by Apple last month, this is already the fourth beta made available to registered developers and AppleSeed participants, with the first one released in November and the second and third ones in December.
Apple has specified Wi-Fi, Mail, and VoiceOver as focus areas for the new beta, as with its predecessors.
Noting Wi-Fi connectivity issues, in particular, is presumably of utmost importance among prerelease testers, considering that they’re supposed to have been resolved with the release of OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 in November.
OS X Yosemite 10.10 was officially launched in mid-October, featuring an iOS-inspired visual redesign and other significant improvements.
The new beta version of OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 is available to registered developers and AppleSeed participants through the Updates tab in the Mac App Store or via the Mac Dev Center.
Last month, Apple released an automatic security update to OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5, OS X Mavericks 10.9.5, and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 to address a critical Network Time Protocol issue.
