The second release of the candidate version of MacOS Big Sur 11.2 is now available for developers and public beta users. This comes after Apple released the first MacOS Big Sur 11.2 RC building last week. The update offers M1 Mac enhancements, Bluetooth fixes and more.
As a reminder, Apple has moved away from the previously used gold master title for near-final beta releases. In the future, the company will use the term ‘Release Candidate’, or RC, to refer to an almost final beta release.
We expect macOS Big Sur 11.2 to be released to the general public as early as this week. Today’s update for the second release of candidates probably contains some small solutions and last – minute improvements. The update contains the build number 20D62, compared to the 20D53 build number of RC last week.
Below are Apple’s release notes for macOS Big Sur 11.2:
macOS Big Sur 11.2 improves Bluetooth reliability and fixes the following issues:
- External monitors can display a black screen when paired with a Mac mini (M1, 2020) using an HDMI-to-DVI converter
- Changes to Apple ProRAW Photos in the Photos app may not be saved
- can turn off iCloud Drive after disabling the iCloud Drive Desktop & Documents Folders option
- System Preferences may not be unlocked when you enter your administrator password
- Globe key cannot display Emoji & Symbols window when pressed
