Bug fixes are always welcomed!

Ugh... was hoping to hold off on forcing an update to 13.5.1 for my users, since it didn't include any security patches. Was hoping to have them jump straight to 13.6, but the universe clearly had other plans.

What exactly are the security and bug fixes?


Edit:

Ahh found some info (nothing about bugs so far):

Build number is 22G91

IPSW file: https://updates.cdn-apple.com/2023S...11AD69/UniversalMac_13.5.2_22G91_Restore.ipsw

Full installer: https://swcdn.apple.com/content/dow...m5sg2b4gpic7vz2i1s1n9n23/InstallAssistant.pkg

It's pretty obvious how to check the build number for ipsw files because it is in the link at the end and in the filename after you download it.

Not so obvious for the InstallAssistant.pkg's however. So

How to check the build number in InstallAssistant.pkg links

You can use this method to check the build number before installing it or even before downloading it.

Replace the last letter g with m at the end of the link and download the pkm file

Using this one as an example:

https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/13/14/042-43677-A_H6GWAAJ2G9/6yl1pnz2f3m5sg2b4gpic7vz2i1s1n9n23/InstallAssistant.pkm

Open the pkm file with textedit and you will see

....version="22.6.91"......

The second number 0,1,2,3,... stand for A,B,C,D, etc. and so the 6 is a G therefore the build is 22G91

For betas there will be fourth number at the end, but this time 1,2,3, etc mean a,b,c, etc.

So taking the latest Sonoma beta as an example, you would see

....version="23.0.5337.1"...... in the pkm file

The second number 0 is A, the fourth number 1 is a and so the build is 23A5337a

Hopefully this fixes the WindowServer crash that happens about once a week on my m1max studio.

 

[infinitedreams]

I don't see anything

 

[Royksöpp]

Eh... I skipped Ventura. I will be leapfrogging from Monterey to Sonoma, which from what I hear is the better OS.

 

[Sir_Macs_A_Lot]

 

[frenchcamp49er]

Anyone upgrade yet, if so did it mess up locations?

 

[winxmac]

Still nothing for Monterey? And Big Sur maybe?

 

[clayj]

Not showing here...

 

[iLilana]

hmmm not yet for me

 

[James vong Bomd]

Only for Intel?

 

[1BadManVan]

nothing here on my M2 air either

 

[besler3035]

Not appearing for my M1 Ultra Mac Studio.

 

[MacBird]

I thought they would release 13.6 now. Weren't there two RCs already?

 

[frenchcamp49er]

Noting for me either

 

[jz0309]

Eh... I skipped Ventura. I will be leapfrogging from Monterey to Sonoma, which from what I hear is the better OS.

I would wait at least another year if I were you, from what I’m hearing next years MacOS will be a better OS

 

[1BadManVan]

Mine just popped up now, start checking again

 

[TriBruin]

For all of you saying you don't see it yet, give it time. Here is something to read while you are waiting:

Then you will understand why you don't see the update immediately.

 

[jayducharme]

I've refreshed a couple times, but still nothing for me.

 

[August West]

Just became available and am d/l.

I just can't bring myself to touch Ventura because of the iOS-like system preferences. I'm going to stay on Monterey until some back-pedaling by Apple occurs (which may be a very long time...). If I wanted this behavior I'd just connect a keyboard to my iPad. I want my Mac to be a Mac, not an iPad wannabe.

The update showed up (and is currently installing) on my Intel Mac mini, but has not shown up for my M1 MacBook Pro.

Edit: Not 10 seconds after I posted this, the update showed up on my MacBook Pro.
