Apple Seeds First OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan Beta to Developers

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan update to developers for testing purposes, one week after releasing OS X 10.11.5 (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/05/16/apple-releases-os-x-10-11-5-el-capitan/), the fifth update to the OS X 10.11 operating system.





The OS X 10.11.6 update, build 15G7a, can be downloaded through the Apple Developer Center or through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-app-store/).

We don't know what improvements the sixth update to OS X El Capitan (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/os-x-10-11/) might bring, but like prior updates, it's likely to focus mainly on performance improvements and bug fixes to address issues that have popped up since the release of OS X 10.11.5. According to Apple's release notes for the update, OS X 10.11.6 improves the stability, compatibility, and security of Macs.





OS X 10.11.5, the previous update, was also minor in scale and offered only bug fixes with no obvious outward-facing changes.
