macOS 14.6.1
Juli Clover (release notes, no security, no developer, no enterprise, full installer, IPSW):
macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 fixes an issue that prevented the enabling or disabling of Advanced Data Protection. Apple says there are also other “important bug fixes.”
See also: Mr. Macintosh and Howard Oakley.
Updated my Mac from macOS 14.5 to macOS 14.6.1:
1) At login screen, first login with user causes black screen, then abrupt return to login screen. (It’s been the same after every update lately.) Next login works.
2) Elgato Stream Deck stays black. Unplugging and plugging device again just brings back “screensaver”. Device not seen by app. Only ANOTHER reboot of the all Mac brings things back to normal.
3) ForkLift asks for password for remote server again.

Update (2024-08-13): Pierre Igot:
For the record, the macOS 14.6 update does NOT fix the hardware acceleration / graphics corruption bug that has been ruining my computing life for the last year or so.
My only remaining hope now is that Apple’s engineers might unknowingly fix the bug during whatever rewrite of whatever they might do in the next major macOS upgrade, i.e. in Sequoia.
Update (2024-08-14): Howard Oakley:
Sonoma reached version 14.6 without an excessive number of patch updates. The number of patch versions released between the x.0 and x.6 scheduled versions ranges from 4 (Monterey) to 6 (Bug Sur, Ventura), with Sonoma taking just 5, although 14.6 has been closely followed by 14.6.1 in what appears to be a bug fix rather than the first security update.
What has been surprising is that Apple has released no RSRs for Sonoma, not one. The last RSR was the second released for 13.4.1 more than a year ago, on 12 July 2023.

Some might say you should get to know at least a hint of what’s changing with an OS update, not this company.
