DP3 Tomorrow?

DP4 or 5 is more likely to be PB1. Yosemite is still pretty buggy at the moment, and I have no faith that DP3 will fix all of that in just three weeks. These programmers are only humans after all, not machines.
Okay. I'm just getting crazy impatient and we ARE officially in the summer now. Apple promised the public beta would be available "throughout summer." But I guess that doesn't matter...if a piece of software is not ready for the consumption of the harsh public then it's not ready.
I can feel how impatient you are. Hell, I was impatient for a DP3 today, and I am on DP2 since the last two weeks only...
These Apple folks. They DO have control over our religious part of the brain.
The public beta will be feature complete for the most part, which DP2 is not (and DP3 most likely won't be, either). Because the crowd in the public beta will not be as tech savvy as the majority of those in the Developer Preview, that build needs to be as complete and polished as possible in order to alleviate the inevitable complaining that will occur.
I couldn't agree more. I also think that Apple has been a little perturbed about the number of bugs that have actually been discovered in the beta of Yosemite. There have been over 100,000 bug reports submitted via the tracker related to Yosemite since it came out. Also the dev forums are loaded with problems that need to be fixed. I would say that a public beta shouldn't be expected till around DP4 or the end of July.
DP3...?
Maintenance Update 3 a.k.a 10.10.3 perhaps...
Mavericks is already on 10.9.4, and still there are some instances of choppy animations...
Source for what? Follow the thread. One post was 7/8 is not that far off. Then another person said what is the significance of 7/8. I said it it the next Tuesday. The thinking is that they normal release updates on Tuesday. DP2 was two weeks after DP1. So, the "guess" was that DP3 would be two or at most three weeks after DP2. So that is where 7/8 came from since they did not release on 7/1 (after 2 weeks). Someone also posted the release schedule for Mavericks in another thread and it was about every 2 weeks if I remember correctly.
The OSX Yosemite Developers Preview 3 will launch the same day as iOS 8 beta 3 which I believe goes live next week presumably Tuesday July 8th.
Here's a source :
Dear Developer,
We will be performing a server-side data wipe on all CloudKit public and private databases for iOS 8 beta and OS X Yosemite Developer Preview users on July 7, 2014. The following iCloud features will be affected: iCloud Drive, iCloud Photo Library, and Mail Drop.
Photos and videos stored in iCloud Photo Library will remain on their original iOS 8 devices and will upload to iCloud Photo Library again automatically. iCloud Drive can be re-enabled from Set up Assistant after upgrade. If you choose to store your documents in iCloud Drive, your Documents & Data will automatically be copied to iCloud Drive. iCloud Drive will not update across earlier seeds or operating systems. Attachments sent through Mail Drop will expire and need to be resent after you upgrade.

I was just about to post this myself. This means Tuesday (July 8) is the most likely date for DP3 to drop, since you'll have to upgrade after they do the wipe.
