Third time isn't a charm; you'll note a bless
error at the end of copies. We'll have a new beta Sunday that fixes this dumb goof.
(For the impatient - scroll down and you can download Beta 3 at the bottom of this post. Note that existing betas will, as always, automatically update.)
Well, we've reached the critical Beta 3 phase, where we think we've dealt with all the issues reported, save for one or two stragglers we're trying to figure out.
Mostly Beef, Some Filler
Overall, things are pretty solid. We tightened up some of the image and encryption handling, which affected some users (and provided interim betas to those who got in touch to confirm our fixes). There were some problems with volumes being ejected at the end of scheduled copies under Catalina that were fixed, as well as some related issues with auto mount (also only under Catalina).
Pretty minor stuff.
Mystery Meat
We've got a few users whose systems are in a bizarre state where the loader is outputting
dyld: warning, LC_RPATH @executable_path/Frameworks in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUtilities.framework/Versions/A/TelephonyUtilities being ignored in restricted program because of @executable_path (Codesign main executable with Library Validation to allow @ paths)
when we run certain system command-line tools. It's happening to a very small number of users, but for those users, neither rebuilding their dynamic libraries nor reinstalling their version of Catalina (current public release) fixes the problem.
We were able to reproduce the problem, once, with a non-admin user under the current public release, and it fixed itself after installation of the current developer preview, but given we can't reproduce it again, even with the public release, we're not entirely sure what weird system thing is going on here: we just know it's not good.
If this is happening to you, get in touch.
Certified Fresh
We also added a diagnostic that detects a rare situation where a user's system has broken scripting tools (like a bad Perl install), which can cause problems. Again, rare stuff.
Piping Hot Chinchilladas
But, apart from those relatively minor kinds of things, Beta 2 worked well. And Beta 3 should work even better.
Once again, thanks for your patience and support. Enjoy!
