Released June 21st, 2023.

Build 23A5276g.

 

Could not obtain this 2nd beta through System Update; it just would not show (SMBIOS MBP15,2). I could only download the full installer, initiated the fresh installation from Sonoma which took ages to end up in a boot loop at reboot.

 

Changed SMBIOS to iMac19,1 and was able to obtain update through the PrefPane.

Update took longer than usual in my opinion but was successful and I was able to reboot with MBP15,2 SMBIOS upon completion. Time zone setting bug remains present (could it be linked to lack of built-in Broadcom wireless?) and, overall, this 2nd beta looks pretty much the same as the 1st one.

Timezone still stuck on Pacific Daylight with no apparent possibility to set it manually.

I had to disable automatic time zone using current location, then manually type my country's capital in the "Closest City" field to be able to obtain my real time zone; When I enabled automatic time zone again, my adjusted time zone remained as I had set it. Nice bug.
