Waiting for Big Sur, here is macOS Catalina 10.15.7

Time for updates at Apple: the bitten apple yesterday kicked off the rollout of the new versions for all its operating systems, including macOS Catalina which thus passes to the 10.15.7 release. It comes about a month after the previous 10.15.6.

macOS: Apple updates Catalina to version 10.15.7

The changelog refers to news that first of all solve some of the problems emerged with virtualization software and the iMac 2020 display. Also fixed hitches related to WiFi connections, synchronization of contents on iCloud and anomalies in the functioning of the Radeon Pro 5700 XT video card integrated in some of the latest models marketed.

Update also for Final Cut Pro X which passes to release 10.4.10 and for iMovie that reaches 10.1.16, both with various bugfixes.

At the same time, Apple has started the distribution of the eighth beta version of macOS 11 Big Sur for developers ( build 20A5374i). The debut of the definitive release is now only a few weeks away: in all probability it will take place simultaneously with the announcement of the first Macs based on ARM architecture.

It will be a turning point for the Cupertino desktop operating system thanks to news that will not only concern the interface of the platform, although the bitten apple has already called it "the biggest design upgrade since the arrival of Mac OS X". Progress has also been announced for software such as the Safari browser, Maps and Messages, Catalyst cross-platform compatibility and update management.
