First of all, thank you to all people developing and maintaining TeX
Live and providing the pretest for 2021.

I have just installed TeX Live 2021 pretest on a MacBook Pro (macOS
11.2.1).  Installation on the command-line worked smooth as always.  I
used the `install-tl-unx.tar.gz` archive for this.

I then compiled a couple of smaller and larger documents lying around on
the machine with both pdflatex and lualatex, utilising bibtex and biber
as well.  All tested documents worked fine so far, no errors
encountered.  If errors occur in the future, I'll report those.

Happy testing to all, and thank you again for TeX Live!

Best,
   Stephan
