Somewhat strange numbering, as one would expect to see it designated as Beta 11. Oh well.
Not really strange. It indicates the Big Sur 11.0 gold master has been set and this is a beta of an update (patch?) to that gold master. It also implies the new ultralight powerbook and iMac, both with Apple Silicon on a Chip and can only run Big Sur, are in production and may actually be available in stores at, or shortly after, next month's rumoredbig announcement.
While that could be the situation, just hope the issue with SD and CCC has been corrected by Apple. It would be good if we knew what exactly this latest release contains/corrects.
