Along with the announcement of new Apple News features, Apple released macOS 10.15.6 Catalina, an update to the Mac operating system, on Wednesday.
The News app now supports a new curated local news section in the Today feed. Currently, only five regions are covered: the Bay Area, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. If you subscribe to Apple News +, you will find that Apple has added more local newspapers. The Apple News daily newsletter is also “personalized with stories that reflect your interests.”
As for the bug fixes, Apple says 10.15.6 has the following:
Adds a new option to optimize video streaming on HDR-compatible Mac laptops for better battery life
Addresses an issue where the computer name may change after installing a software update
Addresses an issue where certain USB mice and trackpads may lose connection
The update also includes several enterprise-level updates, which are detailed in this support document.
