The house of Cupertino is sending to users (via email) to take advantage of the codes in the Mac App Store with whom ” redeem ” the software release inviting them to try and get their feedback. The build downloaded by users 14A299l is essentially identical to 14A298i already in the hands of developers and beta testers a few days ago.
As we’ve written here, do not recommend the installation for users who use their Macs in the workplace or other areas where stability is essential. It is still a beta, and as such still incomplete and has bugs; programs also may not work properly. Our advice is to eventually install it on an external drive and then choose the desired system (old or new) when holding down the Alt key.
After downloading the installer (a file of about 5GB) that starts automatically, and you can specify the installation on a disk other than the main one. Holding down the Alt key when you start your Mac then you can at any time decide which system to start (the one in the inner disk or the one in the external drive).
As with all beta software, keep in mind that they are to take into account crashes, malfunctions, bugs, incompatibilities (a partial list of compatible software, and no, you can find it at this address). The purpose of beta testing is to understand what needs to be improved or what does not work; Also report inconsistency’s language is important, as apparently minor bugs.
The more reports, the more likely to have a final version in a few months as stable as never before (Apple had never allowed before in such a large number of people to test in advance of an operating system, except perhaps the very first preview release of OS X).
The final version will arrive later stages of testing and will be available free for all on the Mac App Store this fall. To use the beta will be proposed in the next several weeks update, up to the final release, what in the jargon is called ” golden master “. To know the most important details on the new system, we refer to our article summary. Some users report errors when you try to use the codes sent. Apple suggests possibly reload the page to get a new code.
