One week after releasing OS X 10.10.3 with Photos for Mac, Apple on Thursday issued the first beta build of OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite to developers for testing.
The new version, beta build 14E7f, comes a little over one week after Apple released OS X 10.10.3, which came with substantial additions like the long awaited Photos app and video glitch. Apple also included support for the NVM Express protocol, enabling faster SSD throughput.
As a change log for OS X 10.10.4 was not immediately available, it is unclear what improvements and fixes Apple built in to the new beta, though enhancements most likely deal with stability improvements and bug fixes.
Developers can download the latest OS X 10.10.4 beta from Apple's Developer Portal.

Last chance for stability before 10.11.0 ruins it again. And thus the yearly cycle of beta testing begins anew.

Oh put a sock in it, please.
You know, I love progress. Just keep giving me more. Seems if I had the view of the first comment, we would all be using 10.0 forever. (g)
Sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is only change. Lately Apple has been kind of a mixed bag. I appreciate the fact that we are "cool" and "cutting edge" but change for the sake of change is irritating to those who use Apple products as business tools and are not developers (or extreme techies)
I haven't had any issues with the OS, it's the Photos app that has been giving me issues. I've written to Apple about them. I doubt it'll ever happen, but I'd love to have a duplicate finder that prohibits identical photos from being uploaded from the cloud. I've had several instances where three copies of the same photo show up. Not sure how it's happening, but it'd be great if they could eliminate duplicates on the fly.
