Apple today seeded the fifth beta of an upcoming macOS Mojave 10.14.6 update to developers, one week after seeding the fourth macOS Mojave 10.14.6 beta and two months after the release of macOS Mojave 10.14.5, which brought AirPlay 2 support for third-party TVs.

The new macOS Mojave 10.14.6 beta can be downloaded through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences after the proper profile has been installed from Apple's Developer Center.

There were no new features or significant changes discovered in the first four betas of macOS Mojave 10.14.6, which indicates it likely focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements for issues that weren't able to be addressed in the macOS Mojave 10.14.5 update.

If new features are found in the fifth beta of macOS Mojave 10.14.6, we'll update this post with details.

macOS Mojave 10.14.6 is likely to be one of the last updates to the macOS Mojave operating system as Apple will soon transition to work on macOS Catalina, announced at WWDC.

Did your download say it was Beta 4?

I honestly don't know... I didn't pay close enough attention. It's whatever became available today, but I thought it was Beta 4 the first time I glanced.

Never mind. I think I booted to the wrong SSD. Now I'm getting a notification to update my current drive. BRB.

This is definitely strange but I received an 2.94G update earlier today that said Beta 4 and it was 75a. A few minutes ago I received ANOTHER update that also said Beta 4 and it was 3G. I'm downloading it now.

Yep, that's exactly what just happened to me right now. It appears that Apple re-issued the Beta for some reason. I thought I had booted to the wrong drive and it hadn't be updated. It was... I checked and another update came through. Then when it was finished, I booted back to my primary drive (which was updated earlier today) and it had another update waiting.

Now both drives are at 18G78a and both reported Beta4. So, multiple updates were issued for this machine today.
