I hope not, Safari still freezes and crashes the Mac.

I hope so, works fine on all of my Macs.

No issues here either. All works very well.

The final version must be compiled without debug code. Apple can't do that through the incremental updates. It must be installed from full installer, I think. So the build number can change.

Out of memory issue that surfaced in Beta 3 for me got worse in Beta 6. I'm seeing ten applications "paused" because my 16 gig rMBP is out of memory.

Not doing anything different than what I did in Mavericks with this particular machine.

Apple works Mavericks -> Yosemite. You work Yosemite Beta -> Yosemite GM/Beta.

Apple doesn't account for small bugs that sneak through the beta process but don't actually appear when you install Mavericks -> Yosemite. It's possible that's what is happening to you.

I remember people claiming the debug code argument as far back as 10.0. The final version of that was just as slow & buggy as the release candidate.

I wouldn't count on a magical, super-fast final release if PB6/ GM3 is running slow or malfunctioning for you.

Those are two different things – they can patch Safari directly without updating OS core.

I am so hoping you're right!

No problems for me.

 

[grahamperrin]

It's not certified to UNIX 03 standard, but a compatible WebKit.app has been released and so on, so I don't imagine any major change between now and release.

 

[tkermit]

Nothing is certain, however

So true.

 

[DJEmergency]

I don't think it's ready. Very rarely and randomly my dock crashes and I get a crash insofar sometimes.

Practically none of that is true

14A389. You need a full install, as I said before.
