OS X version has build number and later date than the rest

Post by Endorphinity »

On the beta 2 download page, OS X version has the build number (99639), which is different than the one of rest of platforms, which still remains at 99573. Date of file is also different (April 17), while the rest of files has the original release date (April 14). Is it possible to share the changelog for that build?

Sure.
Oracle updated BETA2, because newer version adds support for Broadwell CPUs (new Macbooks).
It properly should be called BETA2a, but they only changed the build number.

This is a testing BLOCKER, so Oracle decided to take action.
