Default 10.15.6 OK for PT 2020?

Kinda surprised there's nothing posted about compatibility for Catalina 10.15.6. I've just purchased the latest Mac Mini and will be upgrading to PT 2020 and wanted to make sure there are no compatibility issues. Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

Avid needs to test it first, you are not going to hear a word until compatibility matrix is updated

So then it sounds like the safe thing to do is downgrade to 10.15.5 once the new Mac arrives?

If it comes with .6, I would at least try it. No need to be overly proactive.
PT2020.5 running fine here, although I haven't been thoroughly testing it. My bet is nothing changed in .6 to break PT.
If I'm wrong… you can sue me.

I haven't done a lot of testing but Protools 2020.5 starts up fine in macOS Catalina 10.15.6 on my MacBook Pro 14,3. I installed macOS Catalina 10.15.6 over an existing system with Protools already installed. So far, it seems to work, but others have much more extensive testing use cases than me.

Thanks you, all. I'm going to be brave about this...

I have an issue: when opening Pro Tools 2020.5 on 10.15.6 randomly I get the “memory criticaly low” message. But I have 128 Gb of RAM.
