The second release candidate for macOS Big Sur 11.2 is now available to developers and public beta users. This happened after Apple released the first macOS Big Sur 11.2 RC last week. The update brings improvements to the Mac M1, Bluetooth fixes and more.
As a reminder, Apple has moved away from the Golden Master nomenclature for near-final beta releases. Instead, going forward, the company will use the term “Release Candidate”, or RC, to refer to an almost final beta version.
We expect macOS Big Sur 11.2 to be released to the general public later this week. Today’s update for the second release candidate version probably includes some minor fixes and last-minute improvements. The update features version number 20D62, compared to last week’s RC version number 20D53.
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 may show a black screen when connected to a Mac mini (M1, 2020) using an HDMI to DVI converter
- Apple ProRAW photo edits in the Photos app may not be saved
- ICloud Drive can be turned off after disabling the iCloud Drive desktop and document folders option
- System preferences may not unlock when entering your administrator password
- The globe key may not display the Emoji and symbols panel when pressed
