Apple Releases Revised macOS Catalina Supplemental Update

by

Apple today released a new supplemental update for macOS Catalina, nearly one week after releasing the first supplemental update and two weeks after the launch of macOS Catalina.

The update can be downloaded through the Software Update section of the System Preferences app, but it may be limited to those who didn't download the first supplemental update as it appears to be a minor incremental change that offers the same release notes as the first version.

test macOS 10

The ‌macOS Catalina‌ Supplemental Update includes installation and reliability improvements, and is recommended for all users.

This update:
- Improves installation reliability of ‌macOS Catalina‌ on Macs with low disk space
- Fixes an issue that prevented Setup Assistant from completing during some installations
- Resolves an issue that prevents accepting iCloud Terms and Conditions when multiple ‌iCloud‌ accounts are logged in
- Improves the reliability of saving Game Center data when playing Apple Arcade games offline

Apple is also working on a macOS Catalina 10.15.1 update, which is available to developers at the current time.

i dont really understand all the griping about updates this season between iOS and catalina. they're not the most solid of releases, but i'd prefer apple to be on more frequent updating schedules.
Your interpretation: Apple is fixing bugs rapidly
Other people's interpretation: Apple has an unacceptable number of bugs that need rapid fixes

they tend to just release the occasional major .x update, but otherwise nothing important happens except for once a year. so especially in the case of iOS, the software gets incredibly stale with the lack of progress, which mostly only takes place with jailbreak tweaks.

Personally, I’d prefer they release fewer, rock-solid releases.
