The 13.6 beta breaks Location Services again that was fixed in 13.5.1!
View attachment 2249305
Are you saying it's broken in the RC too?

I can see why it would have been broken in the earlier 13.6 betas. 13.6 beta is essentially just a branch off the 13.5 release, so it would have inherited the broken code. Considering they just fixed it last week, the 13.5.1 fix would not have been rolled into the 13.6 beta path until a week or so ago.

Christ. Are they for real branding this a Release Candidate? Or are you still running a previous 13.6 beta?

Today's release of Build 22G109 was the first and only release of 13.6 to the Ventura Developer Beta channel - it went straight to RC with no previous betas.

Yes, it's broken in the RC! It's no doubt a build off the broken 13.5 branch, but you would have thought someone on the Team would have remembered to incorporate the patches from (the separate ?) 13.5.1 branch released 5 days ago.

No, this would be the time of the year when Apple stops supporting the oldest OS to “make room” for 14.0.
I am not sure about this since Big Sur was released November 2020... I'm thinking the last update may arrive in September 2023...
 
Gutted that my 2017 iMac 27” won’t be getting Sonoma.It still works great.Can’t afford a new iMac so will carry on using it for some time yet.

The last security update for Catalina was released in July 2022 and the last security update for Mojave was in July 2021. You can expect about the same schedule for Big Sur given that there's no beta update equivalent to 12.7 or 13.6 in the works.

So no more updates for Big Sur then?
The full installers for sonoma 14.0 beta 6, ventura 13.6 RC1 and monterey 12.7 RC1 have been released now and there is no new big sur full installer.

So I would say we didn't get a big sur this time.

But that doesn't mean big sur won't get any more updates.

You can check for the InstallAssistant.pkg with the following codes in terminal.

Sonoma

Code:

There will be many InstallAssistant.pkg's listed. There will be many common to each, but they are not identical.

The latest ones are near or at the end of the lists.
