Apple today seeded the release candidate version of an upcoming macOS Monterey 12.5 update to developers for testing purposes, with the new update coming a two weeks after the release of the fifth macOS Monterey 12.5 beta.

Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.

There's no word yet on what new features or changes might be included in macOS Monterey 12.5, and nothing new was found in the first five betas. It's likely this update focuses on bug fixes and other minor improvements to the operating system.

macOS Monterey 12.5 could be one of the final updates to the macOS Monterey website as Apple is now shifting its focus to macOS Ventura, the next-generation Mac operating system coming this fall.

This better fixed the issue of not being able to open software from the dock again. How this went into a beta 5 is beyond me

I suspect they accidentally merged in code they shouldn't have. The level of breakage was wayyyy too high to be something that was officially approved.

I’m guessing they had a bugfix or performance tweak in Ventura and thought backporting it was low-risk, and they thought wrong.

Hope it fixed Crashing QuickTime and made editing much easier.
It's a mess now.
The mail program needs a complete redo.

Or they changed something to support the new display of M2 MacBook Air
 
So how do we download this as public beta? If I signed up for the public beta I get macOS 13 b3 showing

It's because Apple considered the RC as the end of MacOS 12.5 beta testing, so PB testing has moved to Ventura now. You can go ahead and look online for Monterey public beta profile and find it easily. 12.5 will be likely be release next week.

It will show up as an additional option in Software Update, right under the Venture PB listing. I think the link says something like "Additional software is available for your computer."

I have it downloading right now. 👍
