Apple is now working on the next version of macOS, which following WWDC at the beginning of June we now know will be called macOS Monterey, but that doesn't mean that Apple's finished with Big Sur yet. Apple has just released a new update to Big Sur: Big Sur 11.5.
Work on the Big Sur 11.5 beta began towards the end of May. The six and final pre-release version of macOS Big Sur 11.5 arrived with registered developers and other beta testers on Tuesday 14 July and on Wednesday 21 July Big Sur 11.5 arrived for everyone else.

What's in macOS 11.5?
There are only a few changes in macOS 11.5. This update focuses more on bug fixes and closing security vulnerabilities:
Change include:
Changes to the display of broadcasts in the Podcasts app (also changed in iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7).

Macs with M1 chips should now cope with smart cards without any problems.
The list of vulnerabilities that have been addressed is much more extensive. There are 35 highlighted by Apple in its notes including security flaws that affected the kernel, AppKit and WebKit, CoreAudio, CoreGraphics, CoreStorage, CoreText and CoreServices as well as the sandbox.
