This is not exactly a feedback about the forums but I couldn't find a better location to ask this question.
The macos release notes are hosted at developer.apple.com. For example, the macos 26.4 release note is here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-26_4-release-notes. Would it be possible to include the release date in those release notes? Right now, it's hard to locate that information. It would also be useful to even include the sw_vers of that particular release in those release notes. For example:
ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 26.4
BuildVersion: 25E246
Having the sw_vers and the release date in the first few lines of the release note would be handy.
The reason I went looking for the release date was because the corresponding sources for macos 26.4 hasn't yet been listed at https://opensource.apple.com/releases/. It usually takes a few days for that to happen, so I wanted to see how long it has been since 26.4 was released.
I recommend that you formally request this in Feedback Assistant.
Speaking personally, I’d love to see this. I regularly look up release dates via The Fount of all Knowledge™ but having it easily to hand would be super useful.
Please post you’re bug number, just for the record.
Share and Enjoy
