Apparently there were a few bugs in the macOS Catalina Supplemental Update, which was released on October 15th, that still needed to be squished.
Apple has released a modified and re-uploaded version of the update as of Monday afternoon, having reissued it for reasons unknown.
Apple says that beyond fixes for an iCloud Login problem, the update will improve installation reliability on computers with low available space, rectifies a Setup Assistant completion problem that was forcing users to restart their machine during the initial login, resolves an iCloud Terms and Conditions acceptance issue, and improves the reliability of iCloud saves of Apple Arcade data. It does not appear that there are any security updates at all in the update.
Already-updated machines do not need the new version, according to sources within the company. It’s not presently clear why the new version was released.
If you’ve tried the brand new version of the macOS Catalina Supplemental Update and have any feedback about your experience to share, please let us know about it in the comments.
