An upgrade from Kexts. Organisation extensions avoid the problems of Kexts. In that location are 3 kinds of System extensions: Network Extensions, Endpoint Security Extensions, and Driver Extensions. Arrangement extensions run in userspace, outside of the kernel.[16] [17] Catalina will be the last version of macOS to support legacy organization extensions.[18] [19]

Sidecar [edit]

Sidecar allows a Mac to employ an iPad (running iPadOS) every bit a wireless external display. With Apple Pencil, the device can as well be used every bit a graphics tablet for software running on the computer.[14] [24] Sidecar requires a Mac with Intel Skylake CPUs and newer (such as the fourth-generation MacBook Pro), and an iPad that supports Apple Pencil.[25] [26]

Support for wireless game controllers [edit]

The Game Controller framework adds back up for two major console game controllers: the PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 and the Xbox 1 controller.[27] [28] [29] [thirty]

Time Machine [edit]

A number of under-the-hood changes were made to Fourth dimension Car, the backup software. For example, the manner in which backup data is stored on network-attached devices was changed, and this alter is not backwards-uniform with earlier versions of macOS.[31] Apple declined to document these changes, but some of them have been noted.[31]

Applications [edit]

iTunes [edit]

iTunes is replaced past separate Music, Podcasts, TV and Books apps, in line with iOS. iOS device management is now conducted via Finder.[32] [33] The TV app on Mac supports Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and HDR10 on MacBooks released in 2018 or later, while 4K HDR playback is supported on Macs released in 2018 or later when connected to a compatible brandish.[xiv]

iTunes can nonetheless be installed and will piece of work separately from the new apps (according to support information on Apple'southward website).

Notice My [edit]

The Voice Memos application, first ported from iOS to the Mac in macOS 10.14 Mojave as version ii.0, was incremented to version ii.1.

Removed or changed components [edit]

macOS Catalina exclusively supports 64-bit applications. 32-bit applications no longer run (including all software that utilizes the Carbon API as well as QuickTime 7 applications, image, audio and video codecs). Apple tree has too removed all 32-bit-only apps from the Mac App Shop.[34]

Zsh is the default login beat out and interactive trounce in macOS Catalina,[35] replacing Bash, the default shell since Mac OS X Panther in 2003.[36] Bash continues to exist available in macOS Catalina, forth with other shells such every bit csh/tcsh and ksh.

Reception [edit]

Catalina received favourable reviews on release for some of its features.[41] However, some critics plant the OS version distinctly less reliable than before versions.[42] [43] [44] [45] [46] The broad addition of user-facing security measures (somewhat coordinating to the addition of User Account Control dialog boxes with Windows Vista a decade earlier) was criticised every bit intrusive and annoying.[44] [47]
