MacOS Big Sur 11.1 Beta was released on November 17th, 2020. The release comes on Apple Silicon M1 Mac Day! One big change is the version number.
macOS 11.1
This means that instead of getting 11.0.2, we will get 11.1. Next year it seems we will get macOS 12. This is a big change and it looks like Apple is trying to follow the iOS and iPad version system.

When you present a view controller with page sheet or form sheet presentation style, the size of the view controller’s root view is, by default, determined by the value returned from the presented view controller’s preferredContentSize method and the view is not resizable. You can arrange for the presented view controller to be resizable by using Auto Layout to specify the maximum and minimum sizes of its root view. To enable this, set the canResizeToFitContent property of the application’s main window to YES. One way to do this is to override the willMove(toWindow:) or didMoveToWindow() methods of a view in the main view controller. (65254666)For example:- (void)willMoveToWindow:(UIWindow *)newWindow { [super willMoveToWindow:newWindow]; newWindow.canResizeToFitContent = YES;}
