Apple Releases OS X 10.11.5 El Capitan With Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

Apple today released OS X 10.11.5 to the public, marking the launch of the fifth update to the El Capitan operating system that was first released (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/30/os-x-10-11-el-capitan-released/) on September 30, 2015. OS X 10.11.5 comes nearly two months after the release of OS X 10.11.4 (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/21/apple-releases-os-x-10-11-4/), an update that introduced Live Photos (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/live-photos/) for Messages and password protected notes in the Notes app.





The OS X 10.11.5 update can be downloaded through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-app-store/). It is available to all OS X El Capitan (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/os-x-10-11/) users.

Most of the updates to OS X El Capitan have focused largely on under-the-hood improvements, bug fixes, and security enhancements rather than outward-facing changes, and OS X 10.11.5 is no exception. No obvious feature changes were discovered in the beta, and according to Apple's release notes, OS X 10.11.5 includes bug fixes, performance improvements, and security updates.





Prior to releasing the OS X 10.11.5 update, which has been in testing since April 6, Apple seeded four betas (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/05/03/apple-seeds-os-x-10-11-5-beta-4-to-developers/) to developers and public beta testers.
