Tenth developer beta of macOS Catalina now available [u]
Alongside iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS update releases on Monday, Apple has made available the tenth beta of macOS Catalina.
The latest macOS Catalina beta released a week after the last one appears focused on bug eradication. There are no new features highlighted or obvious versus beta 9.
Both AppleInsider and Apple itself strongly recommend users don't install the betas on to "mission-critical" or primary devices, as there is the remote possibility of data loss or other issues even at this late date for Catalina. Instead, testers should install betas onto secondary or non-essential devices, and to make sure there are sufficient backups of important data before updating.

Update: Apple has issued a public beta version of the latest Catalina release.

"Apple Arcade and Apple TV+ require a subscription. Apple Arcade is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV and will be available on Mac this fall."
There is no way it's coming out this Friday. Putting aside the fact that it's an odd-time for a major macOS release, there's still some broken things that need fixing and testing, and it would be crazy for them to release Catalina on Friday, without at least another beta.
