I wonder why the OS public Sierra beta GM is not released the same day as the iOS public beta GM.
The Sierra GM is out but it isn't being distributed as an update. You need to login to the beta program website to get an App Store redemption code for it.

Sierra GM was released on September 8th, same day as iOS 10 GM.

The public GM or developers GM?

The Beta Software program GM. If you've signed up, then you can download with a code.

I signed up to the public beta programme but there's been no OS Sierra GM update yet.

You need to log in to the beta program website and get a Mac App Store redemption code for it.

As I said previously it's not being disturbed by update.

I am downloading it now with the redemption code. Don't know why they had to do it this way. Seems odd that the existing beta didn't update like the iOS 10 update.

Sierra GM was released last week you need to download it from the beta site though, it's not an update from the App Store.

While previous OS X beta schedules have been on a separate schedule they were more closer together last year and were only 2 weeks apart in release with iOS.

The releases haven't always coincided with a Mac event either. The only Mac event last year was in March, for example.

This year they've kept the beta and GM releases in sync across all platforms so I would expect Sierra to be publicly released next week along with the other platforms.

Interestingly, my news widget has crapped out again and can't display any info.

Not the end of the world, but it did happen once before.

When I downloaded OS Sierra GM it didn't appear in the Updates list after I downloaded it and it still appears in Purchases to download. Does that mean it didn't download properly?

I did that earlier and downloaded it. It took 38 minutes but didn't appear in Updates as a download. I clicked it again and now it's telling me it will take 2 hours to download. Does that mean it didn't download correctly first time and there is a problem?

The GM doesn't appear in updates, only in purchased. It's a big download, and after downloading it will take around 20 minutes to install, including a couple of re-boots. You can check by clicking the Apple logo top left of screen, and then About This Mac. You should see version 10.12 when the GM is installed.
Edit: you won't see it in Updates as it's no longer part of the Beta programme - it's now officially a new version of the OS, ready for general release.

I have that version in About This Mac but it still seems to be listed to download in purchases.

Then you're good to go! Sounds like you downloaded and installed successfully.

Thanks. It seems weird that it doesn't say downloaded or installed.

It will still show available to download in case you need to do a clean install in the future for any reason.
