The September 24 development notes list the bug fixes in the current beta build, from Campfire buffs to Mac display problems and a memory leak.

Two fixes touch everyday play: crafting or casting while you wait for a Campfire buff no longer stands you up, and the buff now lands while you sit, sit in a chair, sleep, lie down or use the kneeling emote, so a group can buff each other, cast and craft while waiting. Mac players get a water display fix and other display artifacts resolved, and a memory leak that caused gradual performance degradation for some players is fixed, on top of the Mac stability work in the September 22 build. The smaller items: pet Happiness decreases again once a pet is at max loyalty, casters play their precast animations instead of standing while casting, Human death sounds are adjusted, the Undercity canal ooze is no longer far brighter than intended, a Season of Discovery rune ability is no longer visible, a setting that could disable fog is removed, and in-game mail no longer ignores surnames (September 24 development notes).

Nothing to switch on: the fixes are in the current beta build. Anything still broken belongs in Blizzard’s Known Issues thread, and the current list is on our beta known issues page.
