Apr 24, 2020 The macos 10.15 features Sidecar so you can use your iPad as a secondary screen. (Image credit: Apple) macOS Catalina release date. Apple held its iPhone 11 event on September 10, but the show came and went without so much of a mention of macOS 10.15. Still, Apple’s macOS 10.15 Catalina page was updated with an “October 2019” release window.
A day after issuing new beta builds of iOS 13.4.5, iPadOS 13.4.5, tvOS 13.4.5, and watchOS 6.2.5, Apple has followed suit with a second beta version of macOS Catalina 10.15.5 for developers with a new battery health management feature.
Builds of macOS Catalina 10.15.5 and the other operating systems can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center by those taking part in the testing program, along with the option to perform an over-the-air software update for devices already enrolled into the scheme. A public beta is typically made available shortly after the developer version is distributed, via the Apple Beta Software Program website.
The new build takes over from the first release, which for macOS Catalina 10.15.5 was on March 31.
Apple has still not provided detailed release notes for the beta. But, it has an implementation of the iOS battery health management monitoring for machines that charge with USB-C, that is enabled by default. AppleInsider will be discussing the feature shortly.
AppleInsider, and Apple itself, strongly suggest users don't install the betas on to what they could describe as 'mission-critical' or primary hardware, as there is the small possibility of data loss or other problems. Instead, testers should install betas onto secondary or non-essential devices, and to ensure there are sufficient backups of data before updating.

Following the release of iOS 13.5, iPadOS 13.5, and others to the public, Apple has issued a fifth beta of its macOS Catalina 10.15.5 to developers.
The newest build can be downloaded via the Apple Developer Center for those enrolled into the test program, or via an over-the-air update on devices running the beta software. The release notes still make no mention of the battery management feature added to macOS. The feature remains rudimentary, and doesn't provide the user with as much information as a third-party utility can, but it is a move in the right direction.

Apple does note that large data transfers to RAID volumes no longer cause the Finder to lock up.
Given the proximity to WWDC 2020, it is likely that there won't be any major introductions outside of coronavirus-related functionality in these releases, effectively making them maintenance releases.
Both AppleInsider and Apple itself strongly advise users don't install the betas on primary devices or hardware they deem as 'mission-critical' at all, as there is the highly remote possibility of data loss or other issues. Testers should instead install betas onto secondary or non-essential devices as a safer alternative, and to always make sure there are sufficient backups of important data before updating.
