Apple Seeds Fifth OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite Beta to Developers and Public Beta Testers

(http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2014/10/os_x_yosemite_round_icon.jpg)Apple today seeded the fifth beta of OS X 10.10.4 to developers and public beta testers, approximately two weeks after releasing the fourth OS X 10.10.4 beta (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/26/apple-seeds-fourth-osx-10104-beta/) and two months after releasing the first OS X 10.10.4 beta (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/16/apple-seeds-first-os-x-10-10-4-yosemite-beta/). OS X 10.10.4 has been in testing since mid-April, following the early April release of OS X 10.10.3 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/08/yosemite-10-10-3-photos-emoji-released/), which included the new Photos for OS X app.
 
 The new beta, build 14E33b, can downloaded through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store or through the Mac Developer Center.
 
 OS X 10.10.3 brought several consumer-facing changes including the new Photos for OS X app, a redesigned emoji picker, and diversified emoji, but OS X 10.10.4 appears to be an under-the-hood update that brings performance enhancements and bug fixes.
 
 Thus far, OS X 10.10.4 betas have not included outward facing design changes or feature additions, but the last beta introduced a significant behind-the-scenes update (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/26/apple-discoveryd-replaced-with-mdnsresponder/) that may improve networking performance for users who have experienced issues with OS X Yosemite.
 
 Discoveryd, a somewhat problematic networking process that has been linked to multiple bugs in OS X 10.10, was removed in favor of the older bug-free mDNSresponder.
 
 It is not clear when Apple plans to release OS X 10.10.4 to the public, but the fact that we've now received five betas suggests we may be nearing the end of the beta testing period.
