Three days after releasing the OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite maintenance update, Apple on Thursday seeded the first beta for its next OS X 10.10.2 update to developers.
Apple pushed out the first OS X 10.10.2 build, dubbed 14C68k, through the Software Update mechanism in OS X Yosemite and subsequently published release notes on its developer portal.
Although no focus areas are offered to developers in the seed notes, Apple details a known issue regarding a failure to open documents from iCloud Drive. The current workaround requires users to first move the files out of iCloud Drive before opening.
Apple on Monday issued OS X 10.10.1 to Mac users, bringing fixes for Wi-Fi issues, Mail compatibility and general bug squashing. Despite the patches, some users are still seeing slower than normal Wi-Fi speeds, a problem that might be addressed in the latest maintenance update.
Developers can download OS X 10.10.2 via Software Update or directly through Apple's developer portal.
Update: This article has been updated to reflect availability of OS X 10.10.2 with complete seed notes through Apple's developer portal.

Still far too many holes in Yosemite to consider upgrading for me at this point. I really wish Apple would go back to a bi-yearly OS X release schedule. It seems more and more that releasing on a yearly basis results in rushed an unfinished OSX's plagued with bugs.

What? Too many holes? It's pretty much flawless.
Bi-yearly schedule when you think it's rushed? Oh yeah, making the release date earlier is absolutely going to stop it being rushed... Great logic.
Plagued with bugs? For somebody that hasn't even upgraded, I would probably refrain from spewing that bs until you actually try it, it's far from plagued.

In my experience, Yosemite is the best major update I can remember. And I'm running Server, too. (Normally I wouldn't update my Server systems until .2 or .3, but the "desktop" version of Yosemite was working so well that I took the plunge at .0 and had very little trouble--far less than when updating at .3 in the past.)

I've been running on 5 different Macs since the first beta and have had very few problems, nothing major. Also please list the bugs.

Yosemite has been by FAR the BEST point-zero release ever for Apple. I've been using it since the public beta program, and that program showed the benefits in a better release. So far, with the release of 10.10.1, it has been flawless for me on three Mac's of varying model and age, and I've now started recommending users upgrade to it at work who've been asking me.
