Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

Alongside iOS 8 beta 2, Apple today released a new version of OS X Yosemite, just over two weeks after initially introducing the operating system at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference.
 
 The update, Developer Preview 2, has a build number of 14A261i, and can be downloaded from the Mac App Store or the Mac Dev Center.

 OS X Yosemite brings a flatter, more modern look to OS X, with an emphasis on translucency, along with a slew of new features, including improved integration with iOS 8 through Continuity. It also includes a new "Today" view in Notification Center that offers integration with third-party apps, a retooled Spotlight search that offers new data sources, and several new features for apps like Mail, Safari, and Messages.
 
 OS X Yosemite is currently only available to developers, but Apple plans to offer a beta version of the software to Mac users at some point during the summer. A public release of OS X Yosemite is expected in the fall, after several additional beta iterations.
 
 <strong>New Features:</strong>
 
 - Photo Booth: Photo Booth, which was missing from the first Yosemite beta, has now returned (https://twitter.com/iNicolas2/status/478953122384318464).

 - Time Machine: Time Machine has a redesigned interface that removes the stars. (via 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2014/06/17/apple-seeds-update-to-os-x-yosemite-developer-preview/)).
 
 - Screen Sharing: Screen Sharing has been updated to version 6, allowing users to block incoming screen share requests.

 - AirDrop: AirDrop now offers a notification directly on the screen when a file is incoming, so it is no longer necessary to open Finder to receive a file (via 9to5Mac).

 Handoff: According to several of our forum members, Handoff (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/13/apple-handoff-in-action/) between iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite is now far more functional.
 
 System Information: There's a new field for Continuity support in the Bluetooth category of the System Information app, which lets users know if their machines support features (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/17/yosemite-handoff-bluetooth-le/) like Continuity and AirDrop.
