It's much more useful than it was before. I used it earlier today to remind me of an email with flight details when I arrived at the airport.

Beta 2 has been pretty solid for me.

Quite solid for me. It's broken a couple things. I can't reorder playlists in Overcast, can't get Info in Overcast, can't use Unread to open up a webview of an article (just black-screens). Occasionally the phone app will just immediately crash but I don't use it much and can still get at favorite contacts through the search screen.
It has quirks. But it's more solid than most other Beta 2s I've run on my phone.
My iPad Air is also on iOS9 beta2, and the only issue there is also with Unread.
minor effort

I've been on Beta 2 on my iPad Mini 2 for the past two weeks and it feels like a stable release. No major issues. Which I guess makes sense, iOS 9 is focused on refinements and stability rather than massive new features or radical redesign.
iOS 7 was my first time doing iOS betas, and the first couple beta releases of that were incredibly unstable. But I understood that before installing, and besides, iOS 7 was a major redesign. iOS 8 betas were a little better, but still a bit shaky. iOS 9 betas have been pretty good so far.

I think that's just a bug.
Hopefully, them putting it in the release notes mean they're aware of it's omission.

Is there a way I can disable the search gesture on my iPad? (the one where you swipe down from the middle of the screen)
It's one of my only UI complaints with owning an Apple product (iPad Mini Retina) because I constantly accidentally do a swipe instead of a straight press when trying to open an app.
It's a completely useless feature for me because I keep the stuff on my iPad organized in folders and I've never had a need to use it. I know you can turn off what you want the Search to search for in the settings, but I couldn't find a way to remove the gesture completely.
If there's no official way to turn it off in iOS 8 or 9, is it possible to do by Jailbreaking it?

Would be a nice surprise. I mean if DP3 of both OSes is stable enough they might graduate it to PB today. But who knows. Might just be a small change.
Please please please

Yes it is. It's down. Who knows. Best not to dwell and just wait and see what happens.

Awesome. By the time I get home I hope everyone will be done downloading and I'll be able to update everything in peace.
I want to see screenshots people!

If I remember right in iOS 9 they're changing it back to being a page to the left of the first one, so yes.
I do it all the time as well.
Also, public beta, shiiiiiit.

Assuming it's the same as beta 3 then it'll be fine.

Both, the iPad beta was always pretty solid for me.

Hmmm. I have a water damaged iPhone 5s. Everything works but the cellular. I might download and test. Better than the phone collecting dust.

It'll be totally fine. The only Apple beta I've installed that I later regretted has been Watch OS2, which totally broke 90% of the functionality of my watch.

For what it's worth, beta 3 has been pretty good so far. But yeah the first two betas were awful.
Are you using a non-retina device? The SF font is known to be fuzzy on non-retina screens.

What are the odds my apps won't run on the public beta?
They're likely getting totally hammered right now. Give it time.

Now it's stuck verifying the update. Mess.

I've only had that problem with obscure apps that don't get updated often but it couldn't hurt to do a google search or search on reddit for the apps you use. Unless you're talking about apps you developed yourself that is.

You can do both of those. Mail supports attachments from any other storage source that you have set up. Right now I can attach files from iCloud Drive, Dropbox and OS X Server.
