Today Apple released macOS Catalina 10.15.2 Beta 1 (19C32e) to Developers.
10.15.2 Beta1 is now live, so let’s dig in and see what changes Apple added to this new build version.
This article is meant to save you time going through the notes to find what is new and what is still leftover from the last beta. When Apple releases the next Beta patch notes, the previous patch notes are overwritten and taken down.

Report your bugs NOW!
Now that macOS Catalina 10.15 is live you still will want to get any bugs that you find into Apple now. After the production release of the OS bugs can take longer to fix. The 10.14.4 “Update Keychain” bug is a perfect example.

Overview
The macOS 10.15.2 SDK provides support for developing apps for Macs running macOS Catalina 10.15.2. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 11.2 available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 11.2, see Xcode 11.2 Release Notes.
New Features in 10.15.2 Beta #1
Networking – Certain top-level domains (TLDs) such as .dev and .app are now in the Foundation URLSession and NSURLConnection HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) preload list. An app which uses URLSession to visit a matching URL will always navigate to the URL as https://, and never as cleartext http://. See the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) Specification for more information about HSTS. (56247242)

macOS Catalina 10.15.2 Beta 1
Thank You very much. I have always been a “beta installer” and got bit in the bum for the first time when I updated from Mojave 10.14.6 to 10.15 on my server, not realising that server 5.9 was required (Why didnt Apple advertise this) so had to wait some weeks with installed server software. Still thats living life in the fast lane with no pants on a windy day. Thanks very much again
The server app incompatibility after an upgrade has bit so many of us in the past! Agreed the installer should warn users.
