MacOS Mojave update – what was updated

macosmojavesoftware-update

My macOS laptop showed a prompt top-right of the screen to restart and install updates. It took about 30 minutes so I guess it was something serious.

Now MySQL (through brew) won't start so I'm looking for clues.

Is there a way to see release notes for recently installed macOS updates?

I found a list in System Information > Software > Installations, ordered by install date, and it shows two entries for "macOS 10.14.2 Update" with today's date but it doesn't give any more information.

Knowing what was updated might point me in the right direction. Thanks
