Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Public release

The local timeline treats May 20, 2020 as tvOS 13.4.5's public appearance. Apple's undated cumulative update section confirms the version and says it contained general performance and stability work, but the security advisory assigns a May 26 release date.[1][2]

Documented scope

The discrepancy remains an explicit editorial issue rather than being silently reconciled. Apple's advisory still supports the structured security occurrence across accounts, privileges, media and font parsing, the kernel, networking, files, databases, and WebKit.[3][2]
