Apple on Monday pushed out the second OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite beta seed to developers for testing with focus areas unchanged from the first version that went out last week.
The second seed, build 14B23, comes exactly one week after the initial maintenance update beta was released.
Apple is once again asking developers to focus on Wi-Fi, Exchange accounts in Mail and Notification Center, all tasks carried over from the previous OS X 10.10.1 beta.
After releasing OS X 10.10 Yosemite to the general public in October, users have complained of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity issues, suggesting the maintenance update may be targeting the root problem. There have been no reports of widespread Notification Center bugs.
Developers can access the latest OS X 10.10.1 beta seed through Apple's developer portal or Software Update.

In my opinion Yosemite has been the most stable .0 releases to come along in a long time. Since day one I can’t think of a single show stopper bug that has reared its ugly head. All of the new features work pretty well. Continuity, handoff, iOS phone calls, air drop all work just fine with my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1).
Bug fixes are always good.
I haven't had any major problems with it, but I do find that my wifi can be erratic.
Wifi on my 2014 retina iMac has been 300-400kbs on downloads when it was 2.4mbs. 2011 Mac mini, 2012 iMac, and 2008 MacBook pro have been fine and unaffected. It really does blow on the retina though. Very annoying since that's my primary downloading computer. I have the newest ac 3tb Time capsule also- as an fyi
The only issue I have had, and I didn't have it with the developer versions, is an intermittent delay on key stroke inputs in Mail. I have it on four different Macs, two MBPs, a Mac mini and new Mac Pro. I wonder if that was wifi related.
I have had significant issues with slow wifi identification and connections via an iPhone hotspot. While my iPad will already be connected when I turn it on, my MacBook Pro requires me to turn the hot spot on and off and then wait a while for the MacBook to see it.
