New beta version of OS X Mountain 10.8.1 out for developers

[dgstorm]

Just a day after the release of the official beta version of OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1. for the AppleSeed members, Apple decides to offer it to developers as well so they can test it out on Macs. Apple stated that as far as it is concerned there are no bugs in the operating system but advises developers to keep an eye out for the following functions: Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange in Mail, PAC Proxies in Safari, SMB, USB, Wi-Fi connection, and the audio connection to Apple Thunderbolt Display.

So far there have been some reported issues by MacBook Air users who are experiencing poor quality in audio performance while being connected to the Thunderbolt display. Some other problems include maintaining a steady Wi-Fi connection, problems with battery autonomy and connecting peripheral devices to BlueTooth.

Developers who are looking to go ahead and test the new beta version will have to download a DMG file of 36MB, but Apple strictly warns them that the operating system cannot be regressed back to OS X 10.8.0 after the installation. In case of fatality the whole operating system will have to be wiped out so devs are advised to perform a back up first. The changes seem to be quite minor since the small size of the download. Developers were handed the first seed of Mountain Lion back on July 25th.

To get the new build, developers must be registered on the Mac Developer Center. So far the official public release has not been announced.

They say no bugs, I beg to differ just slightly.....

I will give them this though, basically it's bulletproof..

That is why they are called beta, I understand that part.
