Apple Seeds Second Beta of macOS Sonoma 14.5 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming macOS Sonoma 14.5 update to developers, with the software coming two weeks after Apple released the first beta.

Registered developers can opt-in to the beta through the Software Update section of the System Settings app. Note that an Apple ID associated with an Apple Developer account is required to get the beta.

We don't yet know what might be included in macOS Sonoma 14.5, and no new features were found in the first developer beta.

Would be nice, if Apple had proper changelogs 🙄

Okay...I installed beta 2 and...it seems like...quess what...safari is snapper! that's what I can say without changelogs.

After installing this update on my Studio Mac, it broke my Comcast email account. Says I have a temporarily blacklisted IP account. The IOS update works fine and my Comcast email is working.

Is there a list of the issues they are introducing with 14.5?

 

[srbNYC]

I know this has nothing to do with this particular update, but just have say thanks where gratitude is due. I split my work between a Window machine in my office and my MacBook Air at home. And the Mac's ability to let me scroll in any app or file window just by hovering over it -- without actually having to click on it -- is reason enough for my happiness.

Ok... But that works in Windoze too.

I think this beta feels smoother on my M3 Max MacBook Pro.
