The second beta for Apple's next maintenance and software update for its OS X 10.11 El Capitan operating system is now available to members of the company's public beta program.
OS X 10.11.2 beta 2 can now be downloaded from the Mac App Store by registered users. The launch comes two days after the second beta build, identified as 15C31f, was supplied to developers.
The first beta of OS X 10.11.2 became available to public testers one week ago. Focus areas for the incremental update include Graphics, Mail, Wi-Fi, Calendar, USB, Notes, Photos and Spotlights.
Apple recently released OS X 10.11.1 to address issues with Office 2016, Mail, VoiceOver and minor bugs affecting certain users. The software update also included more than 150 new emoji characters, bringing it in parity with iOS 9.
Members of the public beta program can download the OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan maintenance update after signing in through the Apple Beta Software Program website.

As I mentioned the developers beta before this one caused a "beach ball" issue on one of my three computers this beta fixed it so the public beta should work great. This a a very fast snappy update and after a week no issues As with all updates and beta updates it's always a good idea to throw out your cache folder (from your personal library), restart computer then empty the trash (don't try it without restarting first "you can't change a tire while cars' in motion") then after restart run permissions repair. A lot of issues occur when you don't do this basic maintenance. GRIN

Do you actually follow this advice? Because permissions repair is gone with 10.11.
