This release fixes that Private Relay vulnerability that was leaking real IPs, at least according to leaks.psylo.app. I would assume this fix is also present in all the other updates today, but only my Mac is in front of me and my phone is still on iOS 18
dissenting opinion (not that anybody should care):
cheap unispiring crap that looks like it came straight from a picture book for preschoolers.
p.s. plus it's unclear what on earth they even tried to convey. what are those emboldened border areas and gradients for? are they supposed to demonstrate that there's someone at Apple who's able to do something bizarre? yeah well we already knew that.
