Apple launched a few hours ago final and official version of macOS Catalina 10.15.5 with several major improvements. The new version comes a week after the Cupertino company officially launched the rest of the versions of iOS, tvOS, watchOS and iPadOS. The new version has been available for a few hours and all users who have a Mac with the macOS Catalina operating system can update their equipment.

The new version of the operating system of our Mac focuses on improving the management of battery health In the preferences panel "Energy Saver" of the laptops, the option to control windows in FaceTime calls is added (something that arrived in iOS and iPadOS), an adjustment of the Pro Display XDR screen calibration is added and logically the typical improvements in the stability and security of the system are added. This new version adds the following improvements:

  • The battery health management feature allows you to maximize battery life on portable Mac computers.
  • The Energy Saver preferences pane shows the status of the battery and recommends whether it needs to be repaired.
  • An option is included to be able to disable battery health management.
  • An option has been added to control whether or not the frames with the image of the participants in a Group FaceTime call are automatically resized when one of them speaks.
  • Controls have been added to further fine-tune the Pro Display XDR's built-in calibration by setting the white point and luminance setting to match user-determined calibration settings.
  • Fixes an issue that prevented the Reminders app from sending recurring reminder notifications.
  • Fixes an issue that prevented entering the password at the login screen.
  • Fixes an issue where the notification balloon for pending updates in System Preferences would not disappear even after they were installed.
  • Resolves an issue where the built-in camera was not detected when trying to use it after using a video conferencing app.
  • Addresses an issue affecting Mac computers with Apple's T2 security chip where internal speakers were not showing up as a sound output device in Sound preferences.
  • Fixes a stability issue when uploading and downloading media files from iCloud Photo Library when the Mac was asleep.
  • Solves a stability problem when transferring large amounts of data to RAID volumes.
  • Fixes an issue where the "Reduce Motion" option in Accessibility preferences would not slow down animations on Group FaceTime calls.

A good handful of improvements for which we recommend updating the equipment as soon as possible. Remember that to update your Mac in macOS Catalina you have to access from the System Preferences - Software Update. Remember that to update this version of the operating system it is necessary to restart when finished, so do not be in a hurry, connect your MacBook to the wall to avoid running out of battery in the update and update as soon as possible to benefit from these improvements.
