I doubt anything new of much importance was added, and probably few, if any, issues were fixed. They are probably focused on what they can screw up in the upcoming 14.

You must update any iOS/macOS update ASAP. Apple is not very fast on resolving security issues, and those updates come with the latest ones, and sometimes they are in the wild months before Apple patches them.

Since 1903 version that is not completely true. Yes, Windows patches itself on next restart, but it only takes less than one minute more than a normal restart in a modern SSD disk. Oh, and you can delay until 24 days this behavior.
And as I said to OtinG you must update ASAP. For example, two weeks ago there were a W10 update that was released ONE day before a very severe security problem went into the public. If you updated your Windows the same day update was released, you were protected. If you waited only one day, you were in serious danger. (NSA communicate to Microsoft the issue, and Microsoft took one day to release the patch).
And before Apple fanboys start shouting macOS is more secure, do you remember the certificate goto problem in macOS, or the root issue? It took more than one week to be resolved in both cases... not to talk about the AirDrop issue in iOS, that is still not fully patched...
