Apple is rolling out the first Release Candidate for macOS 27.2 Golden Gate to developers and users enrolled in the public beta, ahead of the official release expected in the coming weeks. The update follows beta 4, released last week, and the build number for RC 1 is 26B118.
The release adds support for five additional languages for Siri AI: French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. The feature launched last month with English-only support, and Apple promised to expand language availability during its Surprise and Shine event. Under the hood, macOS 27.2 also introduces new gesture recognition tools in several built-in apps, which could be laying the groundwork for Apple's upcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro, expected to be announced later this month at the Pro and Tell event.
One frustrating bug reported in beta 4 causes windows in Electron-based apps to randomly stop responding to dragging attempts. Restarting the Mac temporarily resolves the issue, but it can eventually return. 9to5Mac says it is still digging through the system and will report back if it finds any noteworthy details.
To install the first macOS 27.2 RC, back up your Mac, open System Settings, and go to General, then Software Update. Click the 'i' icon next to Beta Updates, select the macOS Developer Golden Gate Beta from the dropdown in the top-right, and hit Done.
