MacOS Sequoia 15.7 RC 3 Released

[yukari]

Got an update for Sequoia 15.7 RC 3 today.

No love for Sequoia 15.7 RC 3?

No one knows what it is. Could also be just a security fix for RC2. It's not announced anywhere and Apple has now Release Notes for any 15.7 RC. I was very tired, and just updated. I only read something about security fixes, can't remember if that was the standard update text.

In the developer download portal they only list 15.6 and in the AppStore when I search for macOS Sequoia Beta it shows 15.6 Beta 3 since a long time it normally should show the latest Beta/RC. Tahoe Betas aren't even in there.

Very strange.

Full installer 15.7 RC3 (24G214) direct download:

The 15.6 thread is almost dead and there never was a new one. I always post new versions there anyway.

Seems to be RC3. Don't know if the website is just guessing, the update was only 4GB to download. RC2 was bigger than the full installer. I think over 16GB. There isn't even a name for any of the 15.7 versions, when it's shown as update. It always just says 15.7.

Release note documentation does not seem to have x.7 releases of any previous major release in it.
Sonoma notes end on 14.6 and older versions at x.5 - while last public release versions are 11.7.10, 12.7.6 and 13.7.7.

While it looks obscure, it is not exactly new thing...

Now it looks like we got 15.6.1 before 15.7 and it is clearly a security fix

It's really annoying...

The last update for 15.7 was the security update that was released today for the other versions no one really knows how all 15.7 versions are called. They were all just an update to 15.7 in the developer seed. And Sonoma 14.8 isn't even mentioned anywhere.

13.7.8 and 14.8 release notes do match the notes on 15.6.1 i.e. Ventura and Sonoma had this same bug fixed.

Again nothing about this update. RC4?

There was this link before I started the update: https://support.apple.com/100100

That "Apple security releases" page link is usually always included - while page never includes any betas or RC's.

It looks like 15.7 might be out in September as many have predicted and Tahoe release will come out at (about) same time....

I also think 15.7 and 15.8 will be released together with 26.0. But 4 RCs seems pretty much. Aren't those mostly just one or two? I also wonder why the build number still includes a G while Sonoma has a J.

And Safari 26 will be included without an optional update like the Betas.
