Stay up to date with Mac OS. If the latest version of Mac OS (currently Moza 10.14) supports your Mac, install it and configure your Mac to automatically update in case of a security patch emergency. Also, keep your apps up to date. Offer fewer ways to find out if attackers are insecure. Date Format Key: YYYY — The year (the first two digits/century can be omitted). MM — The month of the year, from 1 to 12. DD — The day of the month, from 1 to 31. Jan 14, 2021 From the Apple menu, select System Preferences. Click Date & Time. Click the Lock icon. Select the Set date and time automatically checkbox. Oct 02, 2020 Performing date and time operations in a shell script is a fairly common task when automating backup processes or generating scheduled reports. Unfortunately, dealing with date and time operations in shell or trying to format a date is never straightforward as the Linux date and macOS date command line behavior might differ slightly.

Download El Capitan OS X is also significant since it’s the last version of Apple Mac OS X released as its successor Sierra was released in the year 2016 under the brand macOS.

Note: The Days column reflects the number of days between releases.

Some entries may appear out of chronological order (i.e. 10.5 is shown on Oct 26, but above Nov 14 for 10.4.11). This is to keep the version numbers in the proper order, even when an older OS received an update after a major new release came out. This has happened a few times over the years.

Some random notes, updated from the original post:

  • Starting with the Public Beta and up through 11.3, there have been 148 macOS releases, both major and minor. This figure includes the one odd macOS X release: 10.2.7. This version was only for the then-new PowerMac G5 and the flat panel iMac G4, and was never generally released.
  • As of April 26th (11.3's release date), it's been 7,530 days since the Public Beta was released. So on average, we've seen some sort of update every 51.6 days.
  • The shortest time period between any two releases is six days, which is how quickly the 10.15.5 Supplemental Update 1 came out after the 10.15.5 release.
  • The longest time period between any two minor releases is 165 days, which was how long we waited for the 10.4.9 update. (Tecnically, it's actually the 192 day interval between the Mac OS X Public Beta and version 10.0, but I'm counting from the official 10.0 release.)
  • The smallest update was 10.3.1, at only 1.5MB. The largest (non-combo, non-main OS release) update was 11.3 at 5.71GB.
  • The '???' entry for Size on a given release indicates I was unable to find the size. Feel free to contact me if you can help replace any of the '???' entries.

And now, gratuitous graphics…

A special 'thank you!' goes to Mr. Ziebell (for providing some size values on very-old minor updates), and to Benton Quest (for providing size info on all the major releases up through Snow Leopard). See Benton's comment below if you want a nicely detailed history of those early releases.
