Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of macOS Sequoia 15.5 [Update: Public Beta Available]

Apple today seeded the fourth beta of an upcoming macOS Sequoia 15.5 update to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming a week after Apple released the third macOS Sequoia 15.5 beta.

macOS Sequoia Night Feature
Registered developers can opt-in to the macOS Sequoia beta through the Software Update section of the System Settings app. An Apple ID associated with an Apple Developer account is required to get the beta.

macOS Sequoia 15.5 appears to be a minor update so far, and no notable new features were found in the first three betas.

Work on new features for macOS Sequoia is winding down, as Apple will soon transition to macOS 16. The next-generation version of macOS is set to be unveiled at WWDC in June.

Apparent new feature : In Time Machine settings, ability to set intervals of : 1 hrs, 1 day, 1 week, manual. no more 3rd party apps to do this unless you really need a different interval.

Any news if the firmware gets updated with this release?
Im using a Sonnet eGFx Breakaway Box and it used to work perfectly before Sequoia 15.4 in macOS and bootcamp

Now it does NOT work at all.

The Sonnet is connected to a 2018 Macmini.
You really expect it to work. Apple stuff just barely works with Apple stuff. Apple is the new Microsoft from 1990s where stuff only works on stuff from the same manufacturer.

It worked flawlessly during 3 years straight.

What bug are they chasing they can't fix?

Or are they deliberately delaying a security update just to release it with the Sequoia update? If so that's really dumb.
