Still beta build-numbering-scheme with four digit buildnumber and a letter at the end.

GM would be build 17F65.
That has nothing to do with a build not being the final release (there are no GM for point releases btw).

The last beta is usually the final release and they just drop the extra letters from the build string.
That being said, you usually get a full build download for final releases so there‘s probably beta 5.

Look at the quote below:

Yes, I didn't think about the full download. Not sure if it is always the case, but beta 5 is possible as well.

I agree with this thinking. I expect final release on or around May 19th.

Pretty disappointed in Apple. We have known for a few weeks now that there are security issues with iOS such as the mail app and the text crashing bug however Apple have not bothered to patch these with an an update. Presume we just wait for 13.5.

Perhaps these are not as serious as some would have it seem.

In my job it’s not allowed anymore to use the Apple Mail App until the next update. And we are not the only ones.
Has your company also raised the issue directly with Apple, or is the feedback only sent at your individual level.
